The Final Pics
Many thanks for all the nice replies, I've really enjoyed this project... so... The Final Pics
First a closer view of the Saitek Pro Flight Trim Wheel attached below the desk top.

Next a better view of the Pedal Well, this stops any sliding movement of the pedals when in use, it's a common complaint by pedal users.

USB desktop socket for the sole use of an iPad. The iPad has most of RemoteFlight Software loaded on it the HSI can be seen running in this pic. This close up also shows a clearer view of the teak finger hole I used for routing the cables. Also in this pic you can see the pressure setting panel (top centre) this unit is normally fitted to the throttle control but I moved it on to the panel.

The Final Pic Everything except the night light is on and running, if you look really hard at the bottom of the top screen you can just make out the sensor for the TrackIR 5 head movement.
That's it then project finished Hope you enjoyed the trip.

Love the photos with the dimmed lights, all the distraction of the room disappear and the cockpit looks totally real.
I'd love to do similar one day but a race car setup instead of the planes. Or one of these if I won lotto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQLF06rwzVEMichael
