Thank you both gentlemen. These are exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find on my own. I will put up some pics when I get going on my UFC. I am going to do something very similar but I am going to have everything 3D printed so it is one big piece.

Hello everyone, I have seen tons of posts pertaining to sim panels throughout the forums but it seems it has been several years since anything new was posted. I am currently in the process of building a UFC panel from scratch. I am having the face plate cut from Front Panel Express based on my design and layout. I tried to get it as close to real as I could but I could not find any real world dimensions for the UFC panel. I plan on having the buttons printed on a 3d printer once I get the face plate so it will just sit behind the plate with no wiggle or issues. Behind that I am going to have the breadboard with all my pushbuttons (12mm). I am going with the Groovy Game gear USB board to interface with DCS. My main question is going to be best practices for backlighting. I am thinking I can just use a spacer and have the LED's behind the breadboard. I am going to try to tie the dimmer into the sim so it will interface with the panel lighting. If anyone has any suggestions on this specific topic please give me your thoughts. Frodo

UFC Dimensions DC, Curious if you could post the dimensions of your UFC panel? Could you include the size of the buttons on this panel? I have been playing with different combos but can seem to get it right. Thanks for all the updates and photos.
