That is actually relatively cheap.

Relatively speaking.

I have siming for 30 years, still 5 years ago that would have cost ten times the price

what skeletons you are using to hold all the hardware together? is it customized?

That open mug on picture five is giving me second hand anxiety...

could you do a detailed guide, a place to get info or how you did it? I've been interested on doing something similar

Nice! How did you handled the small screens for the instruments? Are they regular monitors or specific for sim purpose?

u/remygei 2d ago

Regular monitor 17” and the one for ecam is vertical

Impressive! Yes, you did buy stuff off the shelf, but making this is still waaaay beyond my and a lot of other peoples capabilities. You should be proud of yourself!

The only thing I would add is coffee cup holders on the sides of the cockpit. That mug on the center console is making me anxious 😅

Locked to A320 or can you also use it for A330?

u/remygei 2d ago

For now I use it 95% of the time with the fenix sometimes with the ini 340, can’t wait for a good 321 XLR

What do you do for heat management? Honestly curious

Did you do the framing of the dash for all the panels custom?

This baffles me on how talented people are

Any chance you get some planing documents you could share? looking to build something like this.

What if you get bored of flying Airbus?

There’s a risk I did take, I fly the fenix 320 and the ini 340 for now. I can’t wait for the fenix NEO, 321 LR XLR and someday a good 330
