I've been working with a program called RJGlass for the last couple of weeks and it's great!
RJGlass emulates the glass displays in a CRJ-100 commuter jet, but since it's open source, you can modify it for whatever you want!
The program is written entirely in Python and communicates directly with FSX without requiring any external libraries.
I've been working on adding support for the open source flight simulator, FlightGear. That work is essentially done and will be released soon.
You can download RJGlass from here:

This is the software I'm going to use for my PFD in the '109 cockpit I've built.

By the way gene that 109 cockpit you built is awesome, very sweet. I love the way it opens to get in :) Very cool. I can just imging it with decals would look very cool :) just sayin.

Thanks for the link! I do some c++ programming on the side and will check that out for sure. Messed with python a little as well. Curious of the code is all there to view and modify like you said. Cool. Something to do tomorrow :)
Warvet, the Me-109 really didn't have much in the way of exterior placards and such in the area of the fuselage that I'm "kind of" replicating. I've got to dig through my source material some more and see what I can come up with though. I've got a stack of Me-109 data about 2 feet high, not including the 2 CDs full of scanned blueprints I got a few years ago. :)
MLeavy737, when I started working on this project a couple of weeks ago, I'd never seen Python before. If *I* can figure it out, it's _gotta_ be easy. :)
I'm going to be working on adding support for different display modes to emulate some of the features found in the Garmin 1000, including support for reciprocating engines.
