After quite a bit of work, all the elements are together to make the Simulator flyable in a finished state! This includes finishing the stretching of the screen, hooking up the sound, and most importantly, putting up the block out curtain. This blocks out all the light making the projector image visible. It also help keep the cool air in and the hot air out (or the other way round depending on the season).
I finally had the opportunity to sit down and have a fly for an hour or two, and it is a whole lot of fun! The instruments and screen look great! The screen is big enough to give a real feeling of immersion, and the controls feel good (though I have set up the air-brake backwards and need to swap it!)
There are still a number of things to do, but this is probably the final milestone before completion!
