FAQ

Last Updated on February 27, 2023

This page will answer some frequently asked questions about my build and building a sim like this in general.  There are so many different ways to build a sim like this.  Everyone has a unique situation, so my way is by no means a “right” way, just “a way”.  This is just based on my experience thus far.

I’ll try to add more FAQ’s over time and as people ask me questions I feel may be beneficial to you all.

    Thank you for a most informative site!
    Do you know of a source for sim panel faces and enclosures (the instrument face and a box to attach it to). I am good at soldering/electronics, but cannot justify the expense of a 3D printer and/or a laser cutter. I would like to build com, nav and AP boxes but cannot afford the prices of the commercial units.
    Any info would be appreciated.
    Thanks again.

    Cheers,

      Hi Rod, much appreciated! Unfortunately I don’t know of anyone who can make custom panels off-hand, though I’m certain there’s someone out there who does it. I would suggest asking on the CockpitBuilders forum (https://www.cockpitbuilders.com). No doubt someone there will be able to point you in the right direction. I’d be interested to know as well.
