F-16 Console Panels (Digital Download)

These F-16 console panel files are meticulously designed to reflect real-world aircraft panel standards while remaining practical for home cockpit builders and simulator enthusiasts. Developed using MS (Military Standard) panel layout and manufacturing conventions, the geometry, spacing, and labeling are grounded in authentic aviation practices rather than approximations.

The files are provided in Adobe Illustrator (.AI) format and are intended for personal, non-commercial use. They are ideal for builders who want accurate visual fidelity while retaining full control over customization.

Precision by Design

Panel layouts follow established MS standards for switch spacing, labeling, and control grouping, resulting in a clean, believable cockpit aesthetic that feels “right” at a glance.

Builder-Friendly Flexibility

While designed around authentic dimensions, the artwork is easy to modify to accommodate non-OEM switches, buttons, and indicators commonly used in simulator builds. Hole sizes, legends, and layouts can be adjusted without breaking the overall look or proportions.  The files can be used to make panels in any number of ways, including alumimum back plates, acrylic light plates, and even 3D printed.

Usage Notes

These files are a great starting point to make your own panels in your own way while saving you hundreds of hours of effort.  They are not meant to be a comprehensive done for you design where you just press a button and panels pop out.  They will require adaptation to your use case.

These files may be used to manufacture physical panels for personal use only. Commercial production, resale, or redistribution of the files or resulting panels is not permitted.

Whether you’re fabricating panels now or refining your cockpit visuals for a future build, these files provide a professional-grade starting point with the flexibility serious builders expect.
