737 Panels, Build your own, Can anyone help?

Like I mentioned in the PM Rob, since you have Corel Draw you could develop artwork in a file type (I used EPS.format) that most engravers will be able to read. These are a couple of panels I have put together for a procedural trainer I am working on.

Yeah,

I second Mikes response. These days you don't need to know a whole lot. If you're going to the trouble of building panels with dummy switches, then the next step is easy using something like Leo Bodnars joystrick board and FSUIPC. As Mike said it's just a matter of wiring the switches to the board and then selecting the actions in FSUIPC. FSUIPC already contains the Macro's for all the overhead functions so you don't need any programming know how. Wiring and allocating functions will probably not take as long as it does to make the panels.
