In this interactive panel discussion, experts in flight simulation hardware integration will discuss various approaches to "moving beyond the mouse and keyboard" for flight simmers. From configuring controllers you can buy at a local electronics store to buying fabricated panels to printing your own hardware, we'll cover a wide variety of solutions and answer questions live from the audience!

Participants will hear from: 1. Mark, who looks at how X-KeyPad can transform an off-the-shelf encoder into a flight simulation controller. 2. Russ, covering the infinite possibility for configuration offered by Air Manager. 3. Ron, discussing why consumer-grade, professionally-constructed panels might be just the thing you're looking for. 4. Sebastian, to showcase how freely-available DIY technology can help you 3D print your own controls and hardware.

Following this brief overview of some of the most popular flight simulation hardware integration solutions, panelists will answer questions from the live audience.

Panelists: 1. Mark Ellis, founder of Stick and Rudder Studios and creator of X-KeyPad. 2. Russ Barlow, former airline pilot and "Air Manager evangelist". 3. Ron Sartore, CEO of Altimeter Motives. 4. Sebastian Möbius, creator of MobiFlight.
