I have finally completed my first project. This is the first time I have attempted such a thing in my life. I managed to do something, albeit an amateur. Of course I want to do something more professional but I need a little more experience. Enough of cardboard for now. At least I learned how to do this job.

I designed it for a320 but i run it on all aircraft.

My advice to friends who will start this business for the first time, start with the small things and don't give up immediately. A little more attention and a little more patience. And get a little more creative. I will explain below.

What did I use in my project (you will be surprised)

Child drawer lock (for rotary encoders)




Medicine box (for buttons)



Nail polish (for painting buttons)



Kitchen sponge (for fastening buttons)




You already know the rest of the electronics.

mobiflight.com is a great chance for people like me. It is a wonderful thing to have people who are devoted to this job and help for free. Special thanks to pizman.

See you

Buttons are not purchased, they are made as follows. First,

get one of this (available in pharmacies). Then cut them into a single cube. Paint it black (I used nail polish). While painting it black, stick a small duct tape in the middle of the front face so that it is not painted. When this is done, paste the led into the cube with hot silicone. Cut the kitchen sponge to led size. paste under the cube. then paste the cube onto the button (I used super glue). You already know how to connect button and led to mobiflight.

But my advice to you is don't go into these at all. Because I plan to use KD2-22 in my second project, which will be more professional.

thanks for the quick reply, yeas i know these KD2-22 buttons already but I could not find them in Turkey.. You have to give an order wait at least a month to get them. By the way I saw your bark break led try with MSFS2020 and A320. Any improvement on this ?

"bark break led" I guess you mean "park break led" here? Yes it works. I guess what works, I'll post to the forum sometime.
