Simbay Radio Bay: Plug-and-Play Flight Simulator Radio Panel

Bring authentic Boeing 737 cockpit functionality to your flight simulator with the Simbay Radio Bay, a compact and highly detailed radio panel designed for enthusiasts who want realistic controls without complicated installation.

The Radio Bay combines authentic cockpit styling, functional radio controls, integrated electronics, and realistic backlighting in a convenient plug-and-play package. Everything is prepared and assembled for you, so getting started is simple: connect the USB connector to your computer and connect a 12V DC power supply for the backlighting.

Choose Your 7-Segment Display Color

One of the key features of the Simbay Radio Bay is the selectable 7-segment LED display color.

Choose the display color that best matches your cockpit style or personal preference:

• Red – classic Boeing-style cockpit appearance

• Yellow / Amber – warm, traditional aviation display appearance

• Cold White – clean and modern appearance with excellent contrast

This choice allows you to customize the look of your Radio Bay while maintaining the authentic appearance and functionality of a dedicated flight simulator radio panel.

Authentic Cockpit Design

The Simbay Radio Bay is designed to replicate the appearance and functionality of the radio section found in the Boeing 737 cockpit.

Detailed panel graphics, realistic controls, buttons, knobs, and illuminated 7-segment displays combine to create an authentic flight deck experience. The panel is designed with the flight simulation enthusiast in mind, providing the visual and tactile feedback needed for an immersive simulator setup.

Whether you’re building a complete Boeing 737 cockpit or simply want to add realistic radio controls to an existing simulator, the Radio Bay provides a straightforward way to expand your setup.

True Plug-and-Play Installation

The Radio Bay is supplied as a fully assembled and ready-to-use plug-and-play unit.

There is no complicated wiring, PCB assembly, Arduino programming, or individual control configuration required.

Simply:

1. Connect the USB connector to your computer.

2. Connect a 12V DC power supply to activate the backlighting.

3. Connect your simulator and start flying.

The integrated electronics are already installed and prepared, making the Radio Bay an ideal choice for users who want realistic hardware without the complexity normally associated with DIY cockpit electronics.

Realistic Radio Controls

The Radio Bay features functional controls designed to provide a realistic Boeing 737 radio experience.

The combination of rotary controls, buttons, displays, and cockpit-style labeling gives you the tactile interaction expected from a dedicated flight simulator radio panel.

The 7-segment LED displays are available in your choice of red, yellow/amber, or cold white, allowing you to personalize the appearance of your cockpit.

Integrated Backlighting

The Radio Bay includes integrated cockpit-style backlighting designed to reproduce the appearance of an illuminated aircraft panel.

The backlighting is powered separately using a 12V DC power supply, allowing the lighting system to operate independently from the USB connection used for the simulator controls.

This makes the system simple to install while providing the realistic glow expected from a Boeing 737-style cockpit environment.

Compact and Easy to Integrate

With dimensions of just:

15 × 21 × 5 cm

the Radio Bay is compact enough to fit into a wide variety of simulator configurations.

Its size makes it suitable for:

• Home-built Boeing 737 cockpits

• Desktop flight simulator setups

• Compact cockpit projects

• Flight simulation training environments

• Custom simulator panels

• Enthusiasts upgrading an existing cockpit

Despite its compact footprint, the Radio Bay provides a dedicated, highly detailed control interface without requiring a large amount of cockpit space.
