Hi Karl,

What a brilliant story! I bet it was fun to play And you've made some money as a bonus! haha
By slight simulator I meant real hardware one Of course some programming is involved to connect it to Orbiter software sim, which is not as straightforward as with Xplane or DCS for example.
Unfortunately, I live in apartment right now and have not adequate space for building simpit shell (aka crew compartment), but different control and display equipment are being built right now, such as:
Primary MFD (24” LCD)
Auxiliary MFDs (2x 10” LCD’s)
Fuel quantity indicator (4” square LCD)
Rotational hand controller – my interpretation of Apollo Command module RHC. Translational controller will follow.
I've attached some of WIP pictures to give an idea of my endeavour
