We want to see your cockpits! This subreddit is for anyone interesting in building a home cockpit to enhance their sim-flying experience. It doesn't matter if you fly civil or heavies, helicopters or fighter jets, you are welcome here!

I have some questions..
I need to dismantle and sell my TRC 172 sim and from this a kit of 4 PT Actuators which were practically never used:
1 set of 4 servo actuators (model Mega Monster 200N, 250mm/s, 1kW, 200mm stroke)
1 AMC-MDbox controller
1 set of 4in1 MDbox servo driver
4 set of power and encoder cable (2 meters long)
1 x Thanos AMC-MBOX controller
1 x emergency stop kit
4 x U bracket
Kit is located in Belgium, I am willing to ship worldwide but will need to crate this and this will be on expense of buyer, consider the possible cost.
PM me if interested.
Short question, does it? I don't see it appearing in Mobiflight and wondering if it is actually supposed to be working. I have succesfully used it with spad.next, so panel and connections seem okay.
Laser cut white acrylic w/black top layer, clear acrylic light layer, black backing. Still need to wire and add LEDs, but its coming along nicely.
Knobs were printed with a Bambu X1C as mentioned in a previous post.
Restarting this decades old project after realising most of the leg work is now done for me.
This hideous rats' nest is the prototype of my KX165 - the COM side at least. The (very) old Arduino drives 6 7-segment displays with only 3 pins thanks to MAX7219s and Mobyflight. My $5 Aliexpress dual shaft rotary encoder works automagically despite me being someone unclear as to how.
Its not much by the starndards of this sub, but I needed to show people who understand.
I fly a small plane with an Avidyne in it. I like the XPlane trainer as it connects to the sim. Anyone use that and know how I can build a hardware knob to control the trainer? Like I want to zoom in/out on the avidyne, but use a physical rotary encoder instead of touching a fake one on the iPad...
Hi all - I'm just prototyping my home cockpit using Air Manager and Arduino. When I create a hardware script - something like a rotary encoder to change the baro pressure - I need to delete then readd the module to my panel. It's like my panel keeps the old version and doesn't update. How can I make the hardware instruments auto-update?
Offering up an idea. Given the growing adoption of MCDU/FMCs, EFIS, MCP and potential radios I'd love to see the community come together to offer up open source center pedestals, MIP frames, etc. I've been learning Fusion 360 over the last year and know enough to be dangerous but I don't have any idea on panel dimensions. I've seen some sites share high level info but I'd be happy to collaborate with others on an easy way to 3d print a MIP frame to hold my new WinWing EFIS and FCU. I'd love to work on a project related to the A320. I could see us coming up with an easy way to mount the MCDU and also setup for future radio panels, throttle quadrants, flap panels, etc.
Curious if the subreddit can point me towards how the community came together for similar items in the past or others that could help with dimensions and 3d Design.
Hello fellow simmers! I had the idea of starting a group chat, preferably WhatsApp with people that are currently building, or already built 737 cockpit parts, panels, or even full blown simulators! This with the intent of all helping each other out and hopefully make the process easier and less painful. To anyone interested I am happy to hear from you in the replies or via private message. Thanks!
Isnt much but the goal is to build a full a10 cockpit.
I have already made the plans for the plane modeled after the warthog project, but i started reading more and idk if its an a-10C or a-10C II I learned everything about the a-10C II so i dont want to relearn everything
