Wired up most of my IBL panels today...... Really liking the realistic look of these!
Couple pics now, more when I finish.

Saweet!
Too beautiful for words John. FDS really got their backlighting down pat hey?
Ken.
It looks even better than on any pic because the little hotspots that you can see are picked up by the digital cameras but cant be see with a naked eye.
When you look at the FDS IBLs , the backlighting is perfectly 100% even.
I shoulda bought their 767 IBL MIP when they still made it!

Yeah, and the bright window behind it with the crappy Camera phone quality doesn't help do it justice, but its amazing.......
I haven't had a ton of time in commercial cockpits as my time at Boeing was all military, but I did have a chance to work C40A (737) and 767 Tanker commercial derivatives development programs, and this stuff is spot on to the actual...... Well go figure I gues as they are using the A/C bulbs. Two panels left to wire up, Captains Clock button light on the glare and the AFDS F/O side, but that is out for other wiring right now.
Peter and the team have spent a lot of time perfecting the IBL stuff, and it looks pretty amazing. I have the opportunity to see some of their earlier stuff, and even that blew me away. Looks like your going to be very happy.
