Founded in February of 2004, SkyDecks Panel Design was one of the first flight simulation software companies to offer stand alone panel products for MSFS enthusiasts to install into aircrafts' of their choosing. Because of this unique marketing method, one can choose which third party add-on aircraft to enjoy using their panel with.
SkyDecks panels are designed to be as replacements for the "out of the box" default panels included within the Microsoft Flight Simulator series. Many third-party aircraft developers use the default MSFS panels as the basis for their panel systems. You now have a professional choice for your Boeing 737 aircraft folder. A choice that is visually realistic and has many features to keep you busy in the cockpit, without the need for an extensive knowledge of real-world aircraft systems.
We're certain the SkyDecks "Boeing 737-NG Panel, v3.0" will become one of your favorites among your panel add-ons. For more information and to view detailed screen shots within our image gallery, please visit our web site at http://www.sky-decks.com
