Hardware vs. software
Hi. I would highly recommend naming this page so that it is clear that this is to do with the hardware project. The name Howto:C172P Cockpit Project is confusing. I would automatically assume it is a sub-project for the modelling of the Cessna 172P default FG aircraft cockpit! All your Howto:C172P Panel Project* subpages should also be renamed to match. How about one of Howto:C172P simulator cockpit project, Howto:C172P flight simulator cockpit project, or Howto:C172P cockpit simulation project? Note the lowercase lettering too - this is part of this wiki's conventions.
