I think this is a full on flight sim so all of them will do everything!

All the button do something, gear lever, autopilot controls, FMC controls

I actually just exclaimed "HOLY ****" this looks epic...

Liked your facebook page as I'll probably see the updates that way

Thanks lol

hopefully I'll be able to buy all the computer stuff from Overclockers. All the avionics will run on the new Broadwell NUCs.

Impressive work, Boeing cockpits are complex with the amount of switches, especially the overhead panel. Will follow this for sure, even though my six monthly work date with these things brings shivers to my spine!

Subbed to this, going to be something special.

NMBlack · 7 Mar 2015 at 20:01

This is going to be good! I wouldn't mind playing Elite: Dangerous on a set-up like this...

I have been planning for about 2 years. i ordered the parts you can see last November and they got delivered last month. It was all flat packed so I spent a whole weekend screing everything together!
