Construction of home cockpit

I would like to build a self designed panel in my home cockpit via FSUIPC.
Are there any information about the different switch states on the panles and fsx key input?

Try using FSUIPC's built in "Mousetrapping" function to map to most of the switches. Some of the switches use LVars, which will have to be added manually to a macro file.

For the annunciator lights, since most of the variables are not readable by FSUIPC for them, you will have to use a slightly unusual method of writing a script to monitor the color of a specific pixel on the screen and write this to one of the available "user offsets."

For the gauges on the main instrument panel, you can use FS Panel Studio or Notepad to edit the panel cfg and create a new 2d panel window that has the VC Gauges on it. You would then undock this new window to a seperate monitor placed behind the Main instrument panel with holes cut where the gauges would be.

That probably sounded very confusing, as I didn't have much time to write that, but I'll try to give a more detailed explanation later.
