Thinking about building a couple of mfd panels........I'm thinking some xkeys n a panel would do it.....I know where to get the xkeys but no idea about the panels...any ideas?
Or is there a better way...any info or links are much appreciated!!

There is a vast amount of information on MFDs on the internet. Mostly on the home cockpit websites.

Below I will provide some links for your viewing pleasure.

Great Home Built MFD video (http://www.flysimulator.dk)

Viper Pit.org is one of the best knowledge bases about building a Falcon Pit. (http://www.viperpit.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=15&sid=615eb32bf914e8840198c6cb35768297)

Here is a site that you will find interesting also. (http://www.simmeters.com/)

I dont know if your looking to build Falcon MFDs but this is a start. Again there are many places to go for cockpit builders.

My DX1 arrived today.

I was planning to get 2 of them and to set them up MFD-style for a generic F-16/F-15-style pit. Unfortunately I had to learn that there can only be one DX1 connected to a PC at one time, so I had to change the plan and got only one but with more buttons (50):

The anonymous buttons on the right and top edges are set up for Teamspeak channel switching and for LOMAC views.

I spent the whole day with Photoshop, it´s my first ever project and I already utterly hate this program...

But, nice piece of kit, don´t regret the purchase!
Two would have been better...

Greetz,

Anyone have experience or know of a web page that details modding a MasterPilot with a LCD? I just picked up 3 of these with programmers on the cheap and wondering what I can do about putting real LCDs into em.

I got bored with the digital camera and snapped a few pics of em. :bigsmile:

On another note I bought all their stock in the MasterPilots when I got these 3, but they have 7 more programmers. PM me and I can give you info on where I got em if you need a few of the card programmers.
