This is version 2 of my home flight sim tour.#flightsimulator #msfs2020 #xplane11

YT suggested this one to me and I absolutely love it. A whole cockpit on a budget made from cardboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09GdiFmaHq0
It’s for civil aviation, unlike my own, and features some very neat ideas – like the fans in the ceiling, or [non functional] “fuses”, for more immersion. It always impresses me how far dedication and skill go.
Another night in the #EliteDangerous verse 🚀
Made some progress on the HUD (I think I need a name for that). It does provide me with some additional informations depending on what I’m doing. The Route Plan e.g. disappears automatically when the destination is reached (yeah yeah the Jump count is off, will fix that eventually).
Same for scan targets – that also reveal bounties (with rewards in Cr so I know if it’s worth the hassle :D).
Really like where this is going.

Thanks for the flowers @CameronCoward. Cheers 🙂
Arduino Team (blog.arduino.cc)Take a moment to go and look up some photos of the cockpits of airplanes and spacecraft. All of them are packed full of instruments and controls. So why do we feel like we can play a flight simulator with a regular gamepad? If you’re doing so, then you’re missing out on a lot of […]
Oh wow, that was unexpected but Arduino themselves featured my ~~fire hazard~~ simulated cockpit on their blog: https://blog.arduino.cc/2023/09/21/piloting-spaceships-with-a-diy-cockpit/.
Yes I am totally hyperventilating right now. That was unexpected and I only know because someone asked if this is mine 🤓
Gotta admit though: I’d have liked linking to the primary source better. Namely this blog or https://SimPit.dev but… details.

I’m kinda blind by now after hacking away on this page for days so I’d appreciate feedback.
Especially if something is broken.
Crimped roughly 250 connectors and did lots of soldering. Still WIP but I rolled the first successful button tests!!1eleven
Ignore the wobbling, there are almost no supporting frames behind for easier access to the wires.
🤓 Painted the button box, added more buttons and the LCD and set it to playing the #BSG DRADIS animation[1] of the Pegasus just for show:
Next is wiring everything up (and when that is done finishing the frame for the display) and add decals.
Same thing really to see how it feels:
