I was wondering if anyone has instructions about how to make a customized control panel.

I use a joystick with throttle and the mouse; but mostly I want to get rid of the keyboard and make a customized panel (like the ones in the old pods for mechwarrior/battletech at D&:ph34r:.

I was looking on flight sim sites, about how to make one, but I had little luck...was anyone successful in making a custom control panel? Is there any kind of instructions bout how to make one? I've seen solution raging from using arduino controllers, to crack open keyboards and USB controllers to rip of the control board and interface it to personalized panels, but neither was going in details about how to make the whole thing from scratch, sadly.

I don't use one myself sorry, but with time there are other players that can help you with what you can do to have one set up properly for MWO.

Oh, that's why...forgot about it!

I thought that certain sections were simply closed for posting, unless you purchased game items.

The forum is not locked to paying customers, but it is locked to playing customers :ph34r: Keeps the spam under control.
