Almost Aviation: Building beautiful flight simulator control panels

Mark did an excellent job in designing the GPS. After I read the instruction book I also learned that I could not buy any more the complete set, only the 2 acryllic sheets. That is the reason that I will not build the GPS; sorry. I thought it could fit nicely to my small desksim. I enclose a photo.Cheers,Ben

Three dollars for this book is unbelievable! Easily worth twenty+.If you are looking to build panels that are better and cheaper than saitek and others, this book is for you.Definitely worth the purchase.

Lots of info/tips & tricks for the Aviation Sim builder. It tells you how to get/register/use LINDA and FSUIPC (which you'll need for integration of hardware/software), along with some code for the "programming-challenged". REALLY helpful for the tips/tricks on Panel construction/drilling in LEXAN & other plastics. I HIGHLY recommend this for any 'simmer' thinking about building a custom panel.

Outdated and generic

I'm a CFI and aviation sim enthusiast for many years... Good place to start for developing Sim on a budget... particularly if you have machining capabilities

There is very little content in this "book" that I found I didn't know already and I'm pretty new at building panels. Also, the examples provided in the "book" are what I consider quick prototypes that might get the job done if you have very limited expectations.

While the book does offer some information, it offers a lot less information than I could get on the internet and has very dated material. - Very disappointing

A wery good book for those who builts there own cockpit. I learned a lot abouth making my own prontpanels in a professional look.
