Cockpit: Roland (EDKB, Germany)

Roland (DuRo55) is a member of the well-known German flying community FRIESENFLIEGER, which is a large group of enthusiasts flying VFR and GA planes or helis only on VATSIM.  He is actually the one who suggested me the development of the newly released A2A PA24-250 Comanche Gauges.  Following is his cockpit with the Comanche set.

Builder: Roland (DuRo55)
Location: Bonn, Germany
ICAO: EDDK, Cologne Bonn Airport & EDKB, Bonn-Hangelar Airport

Project Notes:
The planes I fly regularly are the C152/172, all Piper Arrows, Archer and Comanche.  Hardware and Software I am using are as follows:

  • 2 Saitek Radio Panels,
  • 1 Multipanel,
  • 2 Throttle Quadrants,
  • 1 Honeycomb Alpha,
  • 1 Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder Pedals,
  • 2 Stream Decks,
  • 1 RSG 530,
  • 1 Behringer X-Touch Mini,
  • 1 selfmade button and potentiometer extension, realized with a Leo Bodnar board and 3D printing, and
  • of course 12 FIPs with Tom’s gauges.

I am using 2x 34″ + 1x 27″ monitor for Navigraph, LittleNavMap, VATSIM stuff, etc.  All HW is managed by SPAD.neXt.

As I am only flying GA planes, aboves are all I need to control everything.

Although my stuffs aren’t arranged ideally due to lack of desktop space, everything is reachable so far, work perfectly and immersion is good enough.
