It's getting there.  The work I'd planned this summer has suffered from a 
pile of delays, but I was finally able to get the lighting panel finished 
off Saturday.  Wayne stopped by and was a huge help.  (Thanks Wayne!)

The next thing is the engine start panel.  The panel itself is diagrammed 
out, all i need to do is wire up the connectors and add their harnesses to 
the main 125 pin cannon plug for that side console.

The right side console wiring harness is nearly done - or as done as I can 
get it with the panels I have now.  I still need to build a CMD panel 
(controls the flare & chaff programs), but I've been unable to get a photo 
of one so I'm a bit reluctant to start on that one.  The navigation panel 
is going to be a stand-alone device, so I don't need to add it to the main 
wiring harness.  It'll be connected via USB.

When I start on the left side, the four throttle connectors will be the 
first to be done - I'll get the throttle re-installed and that'll make it 
"flyable".  I've got an Oculus Rift DK2 arriving tomorrow, so eventually 
I'll be able to fly the DCS F-15C from a "real" F-15C. :D

Still no ETA on when the castAR is going to arrive. :(
