    Tnx Stuka, it a sticker, made with PS and printed it on a glossy label.
    The new panels will be made of 6mm plywood with a hardtop coating and text will be engraved.

    A sticker ?
    That I wouldn't have said based on that picture; To me it looked engraved.
    Nice work.

    I suggest you start making those panels in batch for all our members

    @yassy,

    Could you measure the biggest width of that G13 for me please?
    I am thinking of buying it as a temporary solution for my pit.
    After that it might be a handy for my dayjob.

    My first thought was the Nostromo as well.
    I could use a small keyboard to keep with my tablet PC, so have been looking for a small/folding keyboard. I haven't seen any at a reasonable price just yet, but will report back here when I do.

    Yassy...how's that G13 working for you? I've been really thinking about getting one myself. Can you create different profiles for it? I wanna use it for BMS as well.

    The G13 works perfectly for what I want!
    Yes, multiple profiles are no problem. The Logitech software even allows you to link a profile to an executable so the correct profile kicks in once you start a given sim.

    As you may have seen already, I have programmed the first memory bank to be the Up Front Controller. I've kept the button layout as standard as I could. It comes with a little thumb stick on the lower right of the unit, which I have conveniently mapped to the SEL and DATA rocker switches.
    The two big buttons around the thumb stick are Gear Up/Down and Master Caution.

    In memory bank 2 I've made some mappings toward stuff I often use, like anti-col lights, pitot heat, etc. Keep me from having to bend my head every time on lineup.

    My profiles are often constant WIP and I am still assessing wether I want to have more functions and how I would map them efficiently. Any tips are welcome!

    Oh and I have been fooling around with mapping the ABRIS to it for the KA-50 as well.

    I'm sold. Gonna have to get one now. I would love to map the radio presets on it. Would I be able to display the preset channels on the display? I always have trouble when I change presets due to looking down at the radios.
