Here's How Real Simmers Are Building Theirs.

Industry news · April 8, 2026

HAVELSAN has just completed the Factory Acceptance Test for its third Boeing 737 MAX full flight simulator destined for Turkish Airlines — joining six existing Level D certified devices in operation. The simulator will support the airline's ongoing pilot training programs as it expands its 737 MAX fleet. Read the full story →

 

Airlines spend millions on B737 MAX full-flight simulators. Real-world pilot training infrastructure at EASA Level D takes years and tens of millions of dollars to certify.

Home cockpit builders are doing it differently — and the Rowsfire B107 is where those builds begin. Now $110 off at $593.99, it's the most capable B737 overhead panel available for home sim at any price.

What the B107 actually is

A comprehensive Boeing 737 overhead panel built for serious sim pilots — covering every system, every section.

The B107 replicates the Boeing 737 overhead panel layout — the same switch positions, the same system organisation, the same tactile logic that real 737 crews work through during pre-flight, climb, cruise, descent, and shutdown. Every system section is present: fuel, electrical, hydraulics, bleed air, anti-ice, pressurization, fire suppression, lighting, and more.

This is not a partial panel or a simplified approximation. It's the complete overhead — the part of the cockpit most home sim builds get to last, because nothing else comes close to the B107's combination of scope, accuracy, and price.

The EGT gauge — the detail that sets it apart

One of the most-asked questions from the sim community. Here's the answer.

Customer focus: EGT instrument

The B107's EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) gauge is one of the most discussed features among serious sim pilots. It is a physical, animated instrument — not a screen or static indicator. The needle moves in real time in sync with your sim's engine parameters, exactly the way the real aircraft instrument responds. During engine start, you watch the EGT rise. During thrust changes, the needle responds. It's the kind of detail that turns a panel from a collection of switches into something that feels like an instrument.

Full compatibility — every B737 sim platform

The B107 works with every serious B737 simulation add-on available today.

MobiFlight setup The B107 ships with pre-configured MobiFlight files for PMDG and Zibo. Initial setup takes 10–15 minutes. After that, launch MobiFlight with your sim and the panel auto-connects. Native APU auto reset and engine start control work out of the box with the latest firmware update.

What makes the B107 worth it — 5 things no competitor matches

01 · BUILD
Full aluminum + metal housing
Premium aluminum shell throughout — not ABS plastic. Tactile switches rated for thousands of cycles. The panel feels as solid as it looks.
02 · REALISM
EGT needle moves in real time
Physical animated EGT instrument synchronised live to your sim engine data. Not a screen. Not a static indicator. The real thing.
03 · SCALE
Complete — every system, every section
Fuel, electrical, hydraulics, bleed, anti-ice, pressurization, fire suppression, lighting — complete. Nothing omitted to cut costs.
04 · MOUNTING
VESA 100×100mm rear mount
Mount it overhead on a monitor arm, cockpit frame, or dedicated stand. The VESA interface makes integration into any cockpit build straightforward.
05 · SUPPORT
3,000+ community + dedicated team
A Facebook group with 3,000+ active members and a Discord with B737-specific channels. Real setup questions answered by pilots running the same hardware.
06 · FIRMWARE
APU auto reset + engine start native
Latest firmware update adds APU auto reset and precise engine start control. Correct EGT behavior during start sequence included.

The price — and why now

The B107 has never been this price. Here's what the numbers mean.

The B107 retails at $699.99. That is the price of a complete B737 overhead panel with animated EGT, full system coverage, backlighting, aluminum housing, and VESA mounting — purpose-built for home sim. For what it is, that is already a remarkable price point compared to any other comparable product on the market.

Right now, for a limited time, it's $593.99 — a saving of $110. This is the lowest the B107 has ever been offered. There is no coupon code, no catch, and no minimum order requirement.

Why this discount exists As Turkish Airlines expands its B737 MAX training fleet with million-dollar full-flight simulators, we want more sim pilots to be able to build the home cockpit equivalent at a price that reflects what they're actually getting. The B107 at $593.99 is the best entry point into serious B737 home sim that we've ever offered.

The B737 MAX moment — why now is the right time to build

The news this week from HAVELSAN and Turkish Airlines is part of a broader pattern: airlines globally are investing heavily in B737 MAX training infrastructure as the type continues to expand across fleets. The demand for B737-rated pilots is growing, and with it, the value of realistic, procedure-accurate sim training.

For home sim pilots, this is exactly the context that makes a panel like the B107 meaningful. It's not just a peripheral — it's a training tool that mirrors the systems, procedures, and tactile logic of the actual aircraft. The EGT that moves like a real gauge, the overhead that covers every system in the real checklist, the compatibility with PMDG's Level D-accurate simulation — these are not features for enthusiasts. They're features for pilots who take the sim seriously.
