Ah, thanks. And it is based upon your design though, right?

[Patriot]

Yes. I use program Sprint Layout for PCB design, you can use the same or another: Eagle, DipTrace, Proteus, etc..

I would if I knew anything about electronics!

10$ for one piece, but minimum quote is 5 pieces

 

http://dirtypcbs.com is also kinda cheap. However minimum 10 per order <>€3,00 per PCB of this size.

Lotsa howto vids on Youtube, u need about 6 hours to look vids and tryouts.

Alternative, us this guy https://www.fiverr.com/hemalchevli to design PCBs. He's cheap, fast, quality and excellent communicator.

I used only button cap from thrustmaster. You can see PCB on 6 page: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=159565&page=6

 

 

Cut out the frame front of the console. Thank you for drawing Lynx!

Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you like it. Perhaps because everyone starts with the Thrustmaster A-10C kit :)

I'm really looking forward to the release of the aircraft Yak-52 - in Russia it is the most popular for learning aerobatics and to find a real cockpit instruments.

Hello Patriot

 

Do you sell any of those panels (just engraved panel not electronic or switches?) I have also started to build A10-C cockpit and I am looking different places/options where to get those panels?

 

Do you live in Samara? I have driven few times past it recent years and actually might come to visit there in February for one Samara motorcycle club festival.

Hello everyone!

After 7 years, I've decided to return to building my cockpit

I'll start this post with an update on the throttle. I came across a video by WarhogProject on YouTube (topic on this forum) and decided to replicate it. Unfortunately, in the end, I had to do everything myself. The STP files provided by the author had a flaw: they limited the throttle handle's movement by a few degrees in both directions. So, I designed my own version.

My version:

 

I also couldn't import the DXF/PDF files into SolidWorks — my computer would completely freeze. The only thing I managed to import was the frame, and I placed the labels manually.

I really liked the idea of aging and adding wear to the throttle handle — it looks awesome!

Overall, big thanks to the @DeadMeat for the idea and for sharing his solutions on his channel.

 

Well, here are a couple of photos showing what has already been done.
