X-Plane 9 Upgrade - Flight Engineer’s Station

The geometry for Panel L (cabin pressure and temperature) and Panel M (aircraft services) is done. The cylinder sticking out of Panel L is for manual control of the fuselage “dump valve”, which controls the cabin pressure. The levers on Panel M are, from left to right:

Emergency flap and undercarriage (red);
Port de-icing (yellow);
Cabin pressure supply levers, from all four engines (black);
Starboard de-icing (yellow)
Battery change-over switch (green) for starting (batteries in series = 120V),
and flight (batteries in parallel = 28V);
BUS bar change-over switch (amber);
Fuel to port engines common or independent
(ie whether they share all fuel in the Port wing, or have tanks dedicated to each engine);
Fuel cross-over, port / starboard (enables all engines to share share all the fuel across the aircraft);
Fuel to starboard engines common or independent.

I won’t be able to make all of these do what they should in real life, but it’s already a boon to have the levers and housings modelled properly.
