Throttle and collective potentiometers are the 10K precision conductive plastic type in metal housings.
This 10 button controller is used for quick view changes, displaying panels, zooming in and out, as well as to pause or reset a flight.
The hat switch covers the 360* movement for each view.

These were the the first set of pedals that I had made for helicopters. These pedals were originally built for placing on a concrete floor and were used by a number of curious flight enthusiasts wanting to try helicopter flying. I wanted to make them strong and heavy enough to take anything we could throw at them, thus the welded steel construction. They were used in my simulator until being replaced by my all aluminum pedals. The use of stepped plastic gearing allows for extended travel of the 10K potentiometer, thus maximizing the output sensitivity for the tail rotor, resulting in a smoother and more precise tail rotor control. Isolating the gearing and potentiometer to it's own module keeps any extreme pedal pressures from damaging the lightweight plastic gears. To give the pedals a "feeling of mechanical resistance" a small hydraulic damper was added.
