Hello everyone,
I'm working on building a 737NG-style flight deck for a personal simulator project. I'm not looking for any proprietary Boeing data — just general dimensions, reference measurements, or CAD models that can help me get the panels and structure scaled correctly.
I'm starting with my own CAD in Fusion 360 and plan to fabricate locally with CNC aluminum and acrylic once I verify the fit. If anyone has shared measurement sets, DXF outlines, or recommendations for accurate reference sources, I'd greatly appreciate some guidance or pointers.
Thank you in advance for any help or advice — this community has been an incredible resource for builders.

Hi Earl. Lots of resources here if you search most are old hand drawings though with measurements.
Great to see you.
You might also check out Karl at DIYSiM. He's already done all the work. For the prices he's offering - save your time and put it into flying - unless the design and building is what you like - then have at it. I can tell you from experience though, after 22 years of designing, cutting, printing, soldering... I'm on 737NG build number 6. Today I took my first full flight since this time in 2020.
