Oh man that’s what I’ve been looking for! I had exactly the same problem using flight controls with a mouse. So I built a com radio with an Arduino which functions like the real thing, but the trouble was the interface software. I had to use FSUIPC, which was a total pain in the butt because I had to then write a gateway app to interface that to my USB port. The controls are easy for me, I design electronics and a living. It’s the software interface that’s been the obstacle. I’ll take a look at MobyFlight. Thanks!

Also, you cannot expect him to sell it to you at material cost. He uses a 3D printer, that has a cost too plus he is not going to do it for no profit, work time = cost. So it all adds up.

I built a couple of these using just off the shelf project boxes from Amazon (less than ten bucks) normal unlit pushbuttons, rotary encoders and mini-toggle switches. I saw no reason to duplicate the displays since I'm using the simulator for all of that info. Also, rather than an Arduino I used the Leo Bodnar interface card (BBI-32 or BBI-64) which requires no programming, it just shows up as a joystick controller that can be configured with the in game functions in MSFS and DCS (or Spad.next) The idea is to physically replicate all of the dials, buttons and switches so that you never have to touch the mouse and it makes the game much more enjoyable.

Whould it ba Possible to Buy/Print a 3D panel of any Cockpit with Holes where the Nobs & Push Buttons Go.and Holes with Lens to Read outs. This Panel would be FULL SIZE to fit on the Front of a 50" to 65" UHDTV used as the Panel CockPit that would be displayed Behind the Panel as the primary flight display (PFD), multi-function display (MFD), and an engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS) display. This would Eliminate the need for Separate Components that aren't really Representative of thr Full Scale Aircraft. This Printed Panel could be done in Sections to accomidate smaller 3D printers. While all Buttons Knobs & switches could be installed By the Builder.

Thank you! There's no way to give a real answer to the PMDG 737 compatibility question. Not enough is known about that aircraft yet. I'll say this. I will be buying that plane, and if it's possible to get this autopilot controller working with it, it will happen. It may require MobiFlight support which might not exist initially. However, I imagine the MobiFlight team will be very interested in supporting this very popular aircraft. MobiFlight does support P3D. However, I don't have P3D. You would likely have to program the autopilot controller to work with P3D yourself. Definitely possible, but would take some work. The autopilot controller currently has several profiles that work very well with MSFS and X-Plane 11. If you want to buy an autopilot controller or have more questions, you can email me at vizix.contact@gmail.com. Thanks!

Really great. Are you able to differentiate between "managed" modes and "selected" modes on the FBW A320? So, can you build "push" and "pull" into the speed, altitude, V/S knobs like the real thing?
@vizix2049

Yes. The knobs are also push buttons (for going into managed mode). Wasn't able to find knobs that you can also pull. So you just press the HDG button (for example) for the "pull" function to go into selected heading mode. So it's more like a traditional autopilot panel in that regard, but it has all of the Airbus functionality.

This also means that you can use the encoder button to do something else. Not as faithful to the real aircraft though...

There's no dedicated LOC button (I was running out of space on the panel). APPR button arms LOC and glide slope. NAV button arms your nav source. If your nav source is set to your nav radio and it's tuned to the LOC, then the NAV button would arm just the LOC. You can also remap the buttons to whatever you want with the MobiFlight program. Honesty, I've never needed to arm just the LOC.
