Light Test Panel

2022

This small panel sits in the main instrument panel of my 737 flight simulator cockpit and holds the master caution style reset buttons and the panel test switch. The face has the A/P, A/T, and FMC push to reset buttons, a two position test toggle marked 1 and 2, and a separate test switch that runs between BRT and DIM for the display brightness. I wired the buttons and toggles on the back side by hand with red and black leads so they could talk to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
