Wow, a lot of work went into this! I put a $400 oculus on my head and I’m sitting and feeling my way around a 737 cockpit! It gives me goosebumps. Zibo mod 737 on xplane 11 with the audio pack is freaking unbelievable, and every switch works!

I'm building a basic version very cheaply! Using the same wooden frame, a TV I'm using as a monitor (connected to my laptop with a hdmi cable) that was just lying around my house , a wireless keyboard as an overhead panel, and a saitek joystick (I like them over the yoke) and done. It's good for begginers who get confused by hardware

Those are just Saitek throttle quadrants. One comes with the yoke, the other is about $55 for an add-on. The handles are about $60 off CockpitPHD.com. You can certainly get a nicer throttle quadrant that can run from a few hundred into the thousands, though.

Its not so difficult as it seems. I for example downloaded a poster of the overhead (users.skynet.be/jcordon/cockpit/dimensions/images/737_overhd_B.jpg) In the next step I sent it to an internet poster shop for printing in the correct size. The poster is placed between two plexiglas plates, with holes drilled for switches. The poster is cut out where the announciators are placed. The announciators are made of the front plates (google for overhead 737 announciators) and LED holders made of U-profile plastic strips drilled with 2 5mm holes for holding the LEDs. The result can be seen in my channel.
