Update. Work on the side consoles. In the end, I chose a modular design.

Progress of this weekend: - Printing and assembly of ICP tubes - Printing and mounting of screen controllers. - Mod printing center console.

With Master arm panel and motor gauges 

Did you make that large MFD controller yourself? I read win wing sell one but doesn’t seem to come up on their Australia sales.

For the viper I suggest getting the thrustmaster cougar MFDs and get a couple of LCDs for behind them. The winwing stuff is good, but it’s f-18 centric. 
the cpd is a block 60 mfd. not supported by dcs out of the box but there are workarounds. The cpd is a diy mfd. you’ll need to pay steering with some software to get it to work on dcs.

I like how you use alu profiles for the panel mounts.

I'm taking a moment to post some photos of the progress of my project: 1 year of progress on my F16 Sim project.

I made the decision to equip myself for the manufacture of panels and possible cuts. This seems like a great adventure to me.

That’s a lot of hours of research. Fortunately, many posts sharing their tips.

First  my material setup :

1. My home cnc :

2. My tropical K40 chip arrived crushed but fortunately the tube remained intact. (The seller did not want to take it back)

 

Progress of the panels :

The entire architecture is based on arduino mainly the Nano, pro micro and mega for the MasterUART. (Thanks to the entire Dcsbios community)

After cutting the K40 work:

 

Ready to paint:

Câblage IFF :

RS485 communication test based on MAX487 -

 

Made yesterday, assembly of two large 16/9 screens with 210° view - Looking forward to testing it.

Still a lot of work on the horizon - to be continued....

2023/10/19 - Assembly and painting.
