I think by 'real', Karpador may mean physical? As in a mock-up cockpit in his home.
I'm in the process of constructing one. Its a custom design, but I'll be flying Doug Beachy's XR-series because of the added functionality provided by the vessel interface he provided. If you take a look at the XR control functions in the Orb:Connect docs, you'll see what I mean. Lots more switches and annunciators. :speakcool:That was my impression as well. Aren't there others on this forum doing the same? If memory serves (though middle age makes it suspect), I believe Flygirl is making one from plywood, etc.

The video's worth having a look at if you're into making something like this.
