If you fly the Hornet, this completes your cockpit.

The TekCreations F/A-18 Hornet cockpit panels bring every control, light, and switch from the F/A-18C into your hands. Each unit delivers authentic tactile feedback, engraved backlighting, and correct layout spacing for a seamless DCS experience. You start with the full cockpit setup—every panel, lever, and indicator included—and you can easily set any item’s quantity to zero if you don’t need it.

A true Hornet pit is more than a throttle and stick. It’s about reaching for a switch by feel and knowing exactly what it does. This bundle of F/A-18C cockpit panels creates that environment straight out of the box. From the ALR-67 threat warning panel to the Defog, KY-58, ECM, Master Arm, Wing Fold, and Gear Lever units, every section of the Hornet’s left, right, and centre consoles is represented.

Each panel connects through USB and functions as a Joystick (HID) for input only , recognised instantly by your PC, no driver installs or firmware flashes. or DCS-BIOS if you want to sync inputs, Lighting and indicators , which links directly to your simulator for perfect in-game synchronisation. When the warning lights illuminate in DCS, they illuminate on your TekCreations hardware too.

Built for Builders and Desktop Pilots Alike

Every cockpit builder has their own space and style. That’s why these Hornet cockpit panels are available both as desktop-ready enclosures and Dzus-standard pit panels that drop directly into TekFrame or other dzus-spaced pit frames. Mix and match to build a permanent pit, or keep things modular for portable use.

If you already use Winwing MIP hardware, these TekCreations panels align perfectly. The MIP sections are Winwing-compatible, and DCS-BIOS  works seamlessly alongside SimApp Pro. No conflicts, just full harmony across your Hornet cockpit.

For those new to DCS-BIOS, installation is straightforward. You don’t need TekCreations panels installed to set it up; it runs independently and is fully open-source. A full installation guide is available here:

Authentic Functionality, Real Hornet Layout

The strength of these F/A-18C cockpit panels lies in realistic layouts.
Each switch has the same position as its real counterpart. The backlighting is etched through CNC-cut acrylic for clean, illumination, and every label matches the real cockpit markings.

The result is a set of Hornet cockpit panels that feel connected, unified, and dependable in every sortie.

Easy Integration with DCS F/A-18C

Connecting your F/A-18 Hornet cockpit panels is as simple as plugging in a USB cable. Inputs register instantly through the HID standard, and can be assigned directly in DCS’s control options. Lighting is linked through the DCS-BIOS interface—no special drivers, no middleware.

These panels coexist naturally with Winwing SimApp Pro, making them ideal for mixed setups where you might already use Winwing throttles, MFDs, or MIP displays. DCS-BIOS and SimApp Pro communicate independently, so you get synced lighting and no input overlap.

A Full Hornet Experience

From startup checks to combat systems, these panels replicate every tactile cue of the Hornet cockpit. Builders can use TekFrame MIP sections for rigid mounting, or opt for desktop enclosures for flexible layouts. Each order is assembled and tested in-house before dispatch.

Whether you’re an instructor running procedural training or a DCS pilot who wants true immersion, these Hornet cockpit panels deliver authentic control and reliable performance.
