Hey guys, right around the house i have a lot of these "kill switches"
http://i20.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/68/c7/22_1_b.JPG      linked image changed to URL  -jcb
and i was wondering, what can i do with them? i.e could i make some sort of control panel out of them... have about 10 ish... would make flight sim that little more realistic... anyway, any ideas? tutorials?
kind regards

Nice switches. I use the same (without the safetycap) as fuel cut off switches. When there is an engine fire, the led wil lit so that I see in a split second which engine to shut down.

You just need to select an interface (there are lots of possibilities).  You can assign every function from fs to these switches that you want (even have the fsweather change if you like).

often known as 'missile launch switches'... use them for their intent... destroy some stuff in your sim! or make boring regular switches that just add 'realism' (sadistic mood right now)
