Unzip instrument-data-link into its own folder and double-click instrument-data-link.exe to run it.
Untar radio-panel on your Raspberry Pi. Edit settings/radio-panel.json and in the "Data Link" section change the IP address of the "Host" to the address where FS2020 is running on your local network, e.g. 192.168.0.1 - You can find the correct address of your host by running a command prompt on the host machine and running ipconfig, then scroll back and look for the first "IPv4 Address" line. Now enter ./run.sh to run the program.
A radio panel for MS FlightSim 2020. This program is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi Zero W and requires the following hardware:
8 digit 7-segment display x 3 : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B087BSH26N
Push button with LED x 3 : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KPSZ731
Rotary encoder x 3 : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FYHG2QZ
It requires the companion program from here

The companion program runs on the same host as MS FS2020 and passes data between the panel and the flight simulator over your Wifi connection.
