Home flight cockpit simulator

DIY

I have got something interesting for engineers who are passionate in experiencing Flight Simulation. I built my own version of it using micro controller, switches, pipes and woods. I used the resources which are cheap and immediately available to me.

I ensured the design and function of the yokes are at-most similar to the one in the real aircraft. I have also added Mode control panel for the fly by wire experience. The simulation software I used is FlightGear.
