If you want a great looking piece of hardware that is plug-N-Play ready, then look at this:

You might think about GoFlight. They are more GA design but they are also half that cost.

you can always rip a game controller. I made my radio stack out of a Microsoft Strategic Commander. See some pictures in the photo the gallery or the site below

tunatuk, you might want to try and contact this guy: http://www.opencockpits.com/modules....g2_itemId=6780
His stack looks similar to what I think you want. I may try something similar in the middle future. Good luck.

This is my Radio (when I was working on it).... I used FDS panels and a dissected Go-Flight Gf-166. Works fantastic. Although, I would suggest this... you can buy the individual components from Go-Flight rather then the Dissect method

Oh, and of course there are many other options available..... I just happen to have that module and had fun tearing it apart and also, as a disclaimer to let you know, I use many other components from other manufacturers.... I'm not endorsing any particular vendor, just sharing what I've done

Matt that looks real good.
Any more details of how you managed that, what went where etc?

I have come across some other comm/nav providers.

Simkits has a nice looking setup for the general aviation builder

Another one for 737 builders is Flight Illusion.

Hello together

It's always amazing how one can take like 240+ euros for 10 digits 7-segment displays, two rotaries and two pushbuttons...

Okay, the SimKits-Devices are magnificent, as they also offer stuff like ILS-indication and really look great at the same time... I think, this is how the real thing must feel, but the price... well, that's a different story...


I guess if you really want to stay as cheap as possible, it'd be best to do this on your own, like setting something up with FSBUS or OpenCockpit-Cards - especially when you say assembly is not the problem for you...


so long,
best regards
