I made a snap purchase. Kinda a shame that the seller gave up this hobby. Sold everything for an apple and an egg. It's a ViperPit loosely based on a F-16 with a wild mix of panels and hardware. Nothing of this is functional though. Yet.

Winter may come! I wonder if I can convert it into a VF-0 (or mount my VF-1 panel on the frame) 🤔

Man… the feel of those lovely switches and dials alone ❤️

So does something like this have a single summing board or just a bajillion different USB connectors?

Depends on the build 🤷 Some go with compartments, some use a single Mega for everything.

This one has nothing like USB. Even the joystick is a serial port. It is a rather old build and it will be a lot of work to get anything functional for PC.

I'm up for that though :D

Looking good! I just picked up my first flightsim. I really feel like I've been missing out.
