Hi Gene,

I am actually searching eBay but can't find the glass :( Do you remember the
search term???

Matt's HUD looks absolutely great!!! Maybe I will find a UFC (now I know the
meaning;) for the F-16A one day... or do a custom one myself.

I got a gunsight glass from the F-104G starfighter - wonder if that won't do
the trick, also??! ;))
It might need a bit of customizing so it looks like the F-16 one... but it
could work.

Oh, and I got one more question that you maybe have an answer to: do you
know where to get the right cannon plug that I need to connect my F-16A
stick grip to the simulator??

Still looking for this A-7 glass... ;)

Thank you!

Cheers,

Marc
