Right… my new Throttletek throttle panel is done. The trim wheel and switch panel are my own work (I’m not at the level of some on this thread, but I’m getting better!). Despite how it looks, my sim is not an Airbus sim (in fact I don’t fly an Airbus at all, yet) but this panel will be used for twin and single jets. I have a different panel for piston / turboprops based around a VirtualFly TQ6. Yes, I know the trim wheel is not A320-accurate, either, but it will do the job.
Still a little bit of touch-up and re-painting work to do - the panel doesn’t fit nicely, it’s slightly too large in one direction so it’s a squeeze fitting it in and a pain to take it out again (which is what the handles are for - I didn’t want to grab it by the thrust levers to lift it!). Only a mm or two, easily sanded off with some work, but I wanted to get a picture of it in place and test the electronics. Once again I’m using a Bodnar MicroBB USB interface which handles everything except the throttle quadrant itself, which has its own USB cable (and backlighting).
I also 3D-printed some Airbus-style switch caps for the engine master switches, but still figuring out how to attach those while still being able to take the switches out of the board if I need to. A job for another day.
Happy to be done with this project, or at least I will be later today and then I can take it for a fly!
