YT suggested this one to me and I absolutely love it. A whole cockpit on a budget made from cardboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09GdiFmaHq0

It's for civil aviation, unlike my own, and features some very neat ideas - like the fans in the ceiling, or [non functional] "fuses", for more immersion. It always impresses me how far dedication and skill go.

This is so cool! I will remember this when I'm tempted to buy new shiny sim rig parts that someone built something 20 times as nice as what I have out of cardboard, automotive switches, and vape juice bottle tops (among other things).

Haha yeah, it's amazing what you can get when throwing lots of money at something. Or not. 🙃 I just love highly individual simpits and the creativity involved.
