Project-X

Hello all, After spending quite a bit of time refining my own setup, I ended up designing a bunch of general aviation flight sim modules focused on usability, realism, and clean cockpit integration. The goal was to create something that improves workflow and immersion without adding unnecessary complexity. This project ended up being a bunch of throttle quadrant variations, standalone throttle controls including carb heat, prop, mixture, throttle and primer and 2x different flaps modules. I also have tons of things in the works including autopilot and trim which will be released soon. My stock is very limited and I am running a limited sale until the end of the month if anyone is interested! Some items have also been bundled for quick sell. For those interested, more details are available here: 👉 https://www.etsy.com/shop/ProjectXsim Happy to answer any questions or discuss setup ideas with others in the community.

Hello all, After spending quite a bit of time refining my own setup, I ended up designing a few general aviationcmodules focused on usability, realism, and clean cockpit integration. The goal was to create something that improves workflow during typical GA flights without adding unnecessary complexity and enhance immersion. At this stage i have flaps (2 types), primer, standalone engine controls including carb heat, throttle quadrants (variations).

Sorry for the late response 🙂. Yes, just stick with BambuLab—it simply works! Everything else was a complete waste of my time, tinkering with settings that eventually turned into hours lost away from actual testing and designing. You also need to be a bit careful with electronics. Arduino is the way forward, but ironically, the chip you’re looking for—the ATmega32U4—is somewhat old and can be tricky to source. The fun part is that you can get it as a standalone microcontroller and build the board yourself. It’s not difficult, but it does require some tinkering with electronics. Some older Arduino Leonardos or Pro Micros have it, but be warned: the Pro Micro is a very delicate and finicky little critter. I’d always choose the Leonardo any day of the week, even if it means using larger enclosures! why the 32u4 you ask? because it has a dedicated joystick library that can turn it into a plug and play device - anything else will need plugins and become a massive software mess!

FINALLY finished Designing these! Curious what you guys think! tested with Xplane, MSFS24, AEROFLY!! Took a ton of filament and a ton of time! but eventually got there Detailing Photos/Videos Installation/Setup Videos TikTok Etsy

Hi everyone, After about a year of R&D and countless prototypes, I finally developed a Cessna 172SP-inspired flaps module that I’m really happy with. The focus was on achieving a mechanism that feels as close as possible to the real aircraft. The module uses a carbon-fiber clamp system with multiple mounting options, and the same clamp can support other modules as well (including third-party ones using an adapter I designed). There’s currently ultra-limited stock available on Etsy, and it’s on sale until the 25th. For those looking for something simpler or more budget-friendly, I also made a momentary flaps UP/DOWN module. Both versions come with their own carbon-fiber clamps. Happy to hear what fellow cockpit builders and G.A Pilots think. Mike Cessna172SP Flaps Module Simple Flaps Module Other Custom Flight Sim Modules Installation/Setup Videos TikTok Etsy

Hi, Bambulab P1S + X1C + creality K2 Plus. The software i use for design is Plasticity + tons of cables, microcontrollers tons of solder and a few hundred prototypes 😛. Oh and a few thousands of hours on design/testing!!! I wonder What my logbooks would look like if my Sim was certified!!! M

Hi everyone, After a little over a year of design work, testing and more prototypes than I can count, I finally reached a point where I’m happy with the Project-X GA modules I’ve been building. The goal from the beginning was simple — create solid, realistic, plug-and-play controls inspired by General Aviation aircraft, something that actually feels right in the hand and not like a toy. Everything went through multiple revisions until it felt mechanically right and reliable. It’s been a long process but a really fun one. Just wanted to share the result with the community that inspired a lot of this project. I’d love to hear what you guys think. If you are interested i added links to all the photos of all the modules below, still tons to come - currently finalizing transponder, autopilot and radio stack! Calm Skies to all!
