Revisiting designs, not quite starting from scratch

The state of the simpit. 
Well, its finally gotten to the point where I can fly again,and the list of improvements I want to do far outweighs the attatchment I may have for this setup.

It's all coming down.

I've got a 3 monitor mount coming, which I foolishly put off until now. The whole design revolves around where the monitors sit. Shelving units started giving in almost immediately, and the new chair sits too low to see comfortably. I can't build the chair base until i know where the monitors will sit, and soon enough I'll have options. Once the monitors are secure and at the right height, the overhead console, control arms, center console and additional monitor(s) will finally have a home.

Having been able to fly with this configuration, I have a good plan on where everything should go now. The control panels were a test to see how many controls I coukd cram in a small space. Not neccessary and really impractical. So, back to my original notes and sketches now that I have almost everything I planned on having since I started this project. If only it wasn't -5 degrees outside right now. Too damn cold to use any tools.

Well, it's working well enough to fly. Sounds like a good enough plan for a day off...
