Winwing panel overlays

Post by Hedgehog » Fri Jan 21, 2022 8:53 am

Those of us who use the Winwing panels know that they are most excellent for your F/A-18 Hornet cockpit.

And while the buttons, knobs, and switches are usable for any sim aircraft, the labels don't necessarily make sense in other cockpits.

Enter this guy, who designed an easy overlay you can just put over the top as a temporary solution when flying other aircraft. Then you just use your label maker and put whatever labels you want wherever you want them. What I really like is that he made the holes large enough that you don't need to remove any knobs to slip them on. He made the 3D printer files available here:

I don't have a 3D printer. I didn't know that you could make things this large. But I think it's a fantastic idea.

That is cool. Is he planning to sell them or just providing the 3D print file?

Apparently just the files. (Note: He just updated the files to v2 and v3, and I have updated the link.)

He said he's not going to sell them, and said the files are 'not for commercial use' advising viewers not to sell them. I asked how I might acquire them, then, if I don't have access to a 3D printer. He has not responded.

i think you can upload 3D printing designs to a printer shop and you can get them that way after paying them
