Almost Aviation: Building beautiful flight simulator control panels Paperback – November 11, 2016

Mark did an excellent job in designing the GPS. After I read the instruction book I also learned that I could not buy any more the complete set, only the 2 acryllic sheets. That is the reason that I will not build the GPS; sorry. I thought it could fit nicely to my small desksim. I enclose a photo.Cheers,Ben

Lots of info/tips & tricks for the Aviation Sim builder. It tells you how to get/register/use LINDA and FSUIPC (which you'll need for integration of hardware/software), along with some code for the "programming-challenged". REALLY helpful for the tips/tricks on Panel construction/drilling in LEXAN & other plastics. I HIGHLY recommend this for any 'simmer' thinking about building a custom panel.

Three dollars for this book is unbelievable! Easily worth twenty+. If you are looking to build panels that are better and cheaper than saitek and others, this book is for you.Definitely worth the purchase.

Outdated and generic

I'm a CFI and aviation sim enthusiast for many years... Good place to start for developing Sim on a budget... particularly if you have machining capabilities

There is very little content in this "book" that I found I didn't know already and I'm pretty new at building panels. Also, the examples provided in the "book" are what I consider quick prototypes that might get the job done if you have very limited expectations.

A wery good book for those who builts there own cockpit. I learned a lot abouth making my own prontpanels in a professional look.

While the book does offer some information, it offers a lot less information than I could get on the internet and has very dated material. - Very disappointing

👍🏻

Old information, referred to FSX. Code into the Pages not available in Digital format.

Really handy for sim fans

I bought this book partly to support Mark and partly to see how he does what he does. I have built a home cockpit myself in the past but Mark's panel design and methodology is much more refined than mine was. I wanted to get all the details and they are certainly found here. I would have liked to see a bit more about LEDs and backlighting but I can work that out without too much difficulty. Maybe an addition for the second edition? If you would like to build yourself some panels to hugely enhance your flight sim (or any other) gaming experience, buy this book.
