Mark, had to do the same thing for one of my customers. The only solution was to get an actual 430 and have it converted to simulation use. Very - Very expensive.

Mark,
Ruscool Electronics make them, have a look at their web site.
They will make almost anything you want.
Email John or Dean.
I think Flight 1 do something as well.
I am assuming you dont want to use the real thing.

Hi Mark,

If your up for building it yourself - you could try this - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2723972 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2723972)

As mentioned, Ruscool make them but if your client is using Xplane make sure you confirm with them if its compatible; majority or their stuff that operates through their control boards is for FSX/P3D.  They are also busy guys so expect a long lead time unless they have it in stock already.  I have purchased lots of stuff from them, their products are the one of the best in the industry imho.

Desktop Aviator - http://www.desktopaviator.com/Products/Model_2670/index.htm (http://www.desktopaviator.com/Products/Model_2670/index.htm)


Other companies/people that used to make them, maybe still worth a try contacting them;

DIY Realism - http://diyrealism.webs.com (http://diyrealism.webs.com)

Nuna Simulations - http://www.nunasimulations.com/flight-simulator-panels-plug-play-panels (http://www.nunasimulations.com/flight-simulator-panels-plug-play-panels) ( used to be http://www.customsims.com/cockpit-builders (http://www.customsims.com/cockpit-builders))

https://flyelite.com/product/software-gns-430-bundle/ (https://flyelite.com/product/software-gns-430-bundle/)

There used to be a guy selling a control board floating around on ebay, this was just the circuit board for the switches/rotary encoders, but did not come with a bezel or anything like that.  It was also for Xplane.  Cant seem to find it now though.

Thats all of them that I know of....

Trooping.
