I don't know if it is Ok to start this topic in this Forum. However, I want to share with you my 757 mcp panel which I have just finished

Thank you very much Mobiflight family because with small costs you help to make our dreams comes true...

I use this with QW 757... Fully compatible It wasn't easy but with Mobiflight, nothing is impossible Thank you very much Sebastian and also thank you pizman82 for your bright ideas ...

That looks just awesome! Good job!!!

Looks very nice!
Thanks for share.

Can you say wat are that for Buttons and where you buy it?

@drome

I didn't buy anything except from Leds, Push buttons (6X6X5 mm 2 pin), 7 segment Max7219, 9mm 7 segment diigit X2, of course Arduino MEGA

I designed all the buttons %100 myself. It is my idea. At First, from my google search, I started with the ones in which we use small sticks with push button. However it wasn't practical and I designed a box for the button, I put 1 led and 1 mini push button inside. I also designed a button that fits inside it. Of course, I have 3d printer and I can design myself and use it. After 3 or 4 try, I found the perfect size so I don't need any glue to stick leds or button into the box...

Note: I am not an engineer, I am an English lecturer at university. However I am a son of machine engineer, maybe I inherited some engineering skills from him...

Here you can see the pictures for buttons

Dear Özgür !

I´m proud and honored that i was a little part of it.

Concrats to youre first Element ! Realy happy to see visions come true !

Best wishes to turkey.

Thats a great looking MCP, I am also planning on starting to build a MCP for the 757. I am a total beginner when it comes to Electronics.

Did you have access to any tutorials or DIY guides on how to go about, purchasing the correct components and wiring them ?
Request you to share any material that you have, found a few on youtube for the 737, but none for the 757.

That's a wonderful project you have done there, very nice. Flying will be a lot of fun now no doubt.

I'm curious how you applied the white texts / labels on the panel ... are you willing to share how you did that?

Check the "screw" nearby.... Then you see this is a printed picture like a poster....
Thats why you also see the outer frame from the Displays.

this is a cheap solution for the first building. Looks real and verry easy. But sure No Backlight !!

Ah, yes, thanks for making that clear, it's a printout of a picture of the real thing.

Clever! Alas that won't work for my totally fake panel that looks like nothing real.

I can try to make something in Photoshop.

Thx to all, and also thx for pizman. Honestly, I didn't look at this part of the forum. Now I saw your comments about my panel. This was my prototype and after that with quality sticker paper I improved it but of course as my friend pizman said there is no backlit but it looks better. If you need any help, I am here and I will check also this page

This is my cockpit nowadays...

Wow, that's an incredible achievement. How did you do all the displays?

Wow, that's an incredible achievement. How did you do all the displays?

Hello my friend, thank you very much...
I made the displays using 2 monitor (19 inch and 17 inch) for MIP and 1 monitor (5 inch) for FMC. I used panel studio to create a 2d panel according to my MIP layout. I resize all the displays so that they match with my MIP. There are 11 displays including FMC screen but I use only 3 undocked view. Thus, there is no big frame hit. With these setup, I get 20 - 30 Frames which is enough for me...

Wow thats a wonderful looking cockpit @bennnozgurum
Its amazing how the displays sits exactly within the MIP, Is that an ipad for the FMC ?
Please do add some snaps of the overhead panel, would be great to see how you re-created that.

I was taking measurements in the cockpit yesterday to recreate something similar at home.
I hope that i can attain something close to this setup

With regards
AJ

Thanks for the info. It became an incredible looking cockpit.
