Airbus Home Cockpit tour | How I Built My Setup

Welcome to the first full video on the Dakota Jet channel! In this video, I’ll be giving you a detailed tour around my Airbus home cockpit — showing you the panels, structure, and explaining how I built everything.

Whether you’re just starting out with flight simulation, looking for inspiration for your own build, or simply curious about what goes into a DIY cockpit, this video should give you some insight into the process, the challenges, and a few tips for beginners.

💡 Topics covered in this video:

00:00 Structure design, build, and space-saving ideas
2:52 Sidestick, tiller, and side console setup
5:08 Main instrument panel design
12:45 Pedestal panels — mix of homemade and FlightSimPM hardware
22:18 Overhead panel choice and layout
24:30 Glareshield, EFIS, and FCU (including DIY vs. Winwing products)

This project has been a mix of DIY builds, clever budget finds, and a few key hardware purchases — and I’ll show you what worked for me and what I’d do differently.
