Approaching Lake Balaton, Hungary at night in my virtual Cessna 172 — only to find no runway lights at LHSM! 😱

Thankfully, ILS Runway 16 was active and saved my bacon. I rode that glideslope down through the pitch black, trusting the instruments. Couldn’t see a thing until touchdown — and even then, it was a rough one. Full darkness, full focus.

🛠️ My DIY cockpit features:
🎮 Saitek yoke & rudder pedals
📻 Dual radio panels & full nav/autopilot controls
🎚️ Two throttle quadrants & switch panel
🖥️ Two touchscreens running Air Manager
🌀 Two knobsters for smooth instrument control
🪚 All in a home-built setup made from scrap plywood and 3D printed parts!
