To be clear, I had to rework my Main Stand for several times. I would clearly not recommend to start constructing, then buy some parts to later recognize that nothing fits together 🙂 If you hold them in your hands, you can start to construct the Main Stand to ensure that it fits. My personal recommendation is, to buy (or DIY) the Main Instrument Panels first. Add Flightdeck FNPT2/MCC or an AATD to your MCC/MPL program to gain crucial ATP/ATPL hours. I think with this sources you should be able to start up with your home cockpit project. Save on crew training, type rating, instrument rating sim time & costs. If you should have helpful pictures that should be displayed here – don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. Mostly, the pictures are originally from forums like the sadly switched off or from other home cockpit blogs. Please contact me if this is your picture! Igor Perne (L), 53, an electronic engineer and a member of the International Virtual Aviation Organisation (IVAO), and fellow virtual pilot Franc Lavric gesture for the camera before taking off on a virtual flight in a flight simulator in Nova Vas, Slovenia November 13, 2014. I don’t have a source to all of them – I hope the originators don’t judge me for displaying them here. In worst case they allow at least to assume what should fit or not. You could say: Develop your cockpit from inside to outside.Īs follows, I’m going to present you some selected sources, that I personally used to construct my cockpit and where I can confirm that the measures are accurate in the main.įor measures that just didn’t want to fit with my construction, I always made use of my picture collection to get a feeling for the size of the parts. when you are starting with the MIP-Panels, which actually isn’t a bad idea.
In my personal experience, you will need to create you cockpit ‘around’ the parts that you may have bought from suppliers, e.g. So at least – measures can give you a lead or a direction, but they are not meant to be understood as absolute.

The software in this case does a lot of important work it not only runs the main Flight Simulation program (MSFS) it also provides the software interfaces to the. Our simulators, gauges and instruments are the result of two decades. A home cockpit consists of three things really, the physical cockpit build (the frame, overhead and panels), software (MSFS, SIOC, FSUIPC) and hardware (BU0836X, BBI-32, USBOutputs).
These flight simulators, flight simulator instruments and cockpit gauges are used both by training centers worldwide for pilot training (up to EASA FNPT II) and by enthusiastic home cockpit builders.

But if you are building your home cockpit with a high DIY-proportion, it will become a unique thing in any way 🙂 Simkits produces a complete line of professional flight simulator hardware. People do often simply hold a tape measure on the parts so the measures are only nearly correct. This begins with the way, the measures are taken. In general, the measures you will find on the internet can not always be taken over 1:1 without problems.

I’m planning to update this post continuously. With this post, I’ll give you some information on measures and – of course – some sources for measures that I’m using for my home cockpit project.
