Excellent instrument-training platform! It sure is great seeing classic electro-mechanical instrumentation doing their thing.

That, is the coolest 'home' flight simulator I've ever seen!

Got to get the new Flight Simulator 2020 on that when it is released.

Nice to see a simulator rig moving properly to simulate forces as oppose to duplicating the planes attitude. So many videos of home made rigs are doing this. I saw a guy flying a plane upside down and his rig was upside down!

Wow! That is the coolest Flight Sim I have seen. I bet you quickly forget you're flying a sim...So realistic!

Looks like an awesome machine to train one! Thanks for sharing this

OMG I loved the 1:23 mark the fastest climbing 172 on the planet.

So freaking cool! Love the water drops.

Perfectly level flying is the supreme challenge of the scale model pilot.

Great upload, I am glad to know I am not the only person who has issues with their GoPro's. I have just sent one back to their European HQ as it has a hardware issue. As always love the video, really appreciate the time and effort you put in to these. If you ever find yourself in the UK..................

To me that's an awesome tool I would definitely practice that all the time

You need a checklist to start that up! Great system!

That was some right to left crosswind on the take-off! Whew! I would've loved to be in that to see how real it felt. From what I could see, it looked pretty close to how that feels! Those linear actuators are noisy! Surely that could be mitigated. Between the huffing and puffing and the ring of the currents, I wonder that a pneumatic system would be better. Nowhere as control-able or trackable though. I love these things! I had a friend that worked at Flight Safety back in the 80's. At the time, they were one of the few that built full-scale simulators for all forms of craft. the were monstrous, full-sized cockpits of 737, 747, Jet Ranger and I flew in an early Airbus simulator, I actually brought that pig down on my first try! (My second, not so much! All souls were lost!) They had a place for an instructor or test administrator to sit back in the back and they would throw challenging situations at actual commercial pilots to see how they handled it. From bird-strikes to decompression, to smoke in the cabin! As long as it was there to be completed, if it was working at all, employees were invited to come in and put some hours on them to help to debug them. Half of the time the motion systems would not be ready to go but it didn't matter. You were fully immersed, where every switch was there and had a function. No Ctrl+E to autostart the engines! The only time I ever had an issue was while testing a Bell Ranger, I was really suspending my belief and my stomach was doig things and 1500 feet above a populated area, the tail rotor system glitches and I went into an uncontrollable flat spin, at hover! It kept going faster and faster until the motion systems went into "screw this" mode, but the simulation was still in the spin. I was about to throw up when the guy manning the system shut it down and I gclimbed out green in the gills. I had found a bug! It felt like I had one as well!

Excellent work. Very well done.

Very kool...a dream come true....although those noisy actuators are irksome requiring a good headset. I was taught to avoid turning during an engine off glide ...too many things can go wrong...good job.👍🏼

I want one, and I want it now !!! Great tool !

Amazing well done 👍

Imagine this bad boy with Flight Simulator 2020

Beautiful day for an ultralight flight.

Wow looks great !

That is really impressive. Even in the video you almost forget it is a sim.

That looks awesome

Great Job!

Amazing bro!

Very well done! I'm a retired airline pilot. I now work for FlightSafety International. We are the worlds largest flight training company and this SIM is just like our multi million dollar versions! Nice!

Great video and simulator

OMG, that is awesome. It must be an amazing feeling to fly that thing, and to be rich. :D

Wow, with the new Microsoft flight simulator 2020, this thing is going to look like real flying

Fantastic! 👍

wow i love this man

Woooooow !!! SUPERB WORK !!!

I would love to have one

This is super cool

This is pretty badass! Man I wish I was rich like these guys.

Very nice

Enjoyed!

Great University project and cool that the students were able to accomplish it, but it would have been more impressive with a wrap-around display say a 220' screen.

😍😍😍😍 OMG this is so good men

very cool .

great job.....

This is going to be so nice on FS2020

Awesome

Super realistic !!!

I love it !

I have 12 dollars and 99 cents left in my card can I try this for only 2 minutes ?

Classy step up to the flight sim. An old pallet cut in two. No expense spared.

Love to have this.

When you think the old Link trainers used bellows. I wonder if car lifting air bags and a cheap compressor could be used. I built a two axis motion sim, but abandoned it after a while as it did not feel realistic. In realty you don't feel lean when turning in flight and only extreme pitch up or down do you notice pitch. Most important is the vertical sensation. Also in real flight i notice seat movement more than airframe movement. My body moves relative to the cabin interior. Just make seat move up or down a few centimetres, in fact just mount seat on springs.

Hey, great video for a beautiful man on the flight - Question Can I ask you how much the planet costs, how much hydraulic systems generally cost, how much it costs in full and where are you from? ☺️ Is it possible to visit you after the Crohn's disease is gone, thank you🌹

Just like a treadmill, it gives you a whole lot of exercise but does not take you anywhere. 😀

GREAT FSX !!!!

Cheaper to buy a 172. :) Great work with the sim, guys!!!

WoooooW ! I am also a student pikot in USA. I wanna this one!

Nice sim, though the 6DOF is overkill, still nice. I think XPlane visuals are better than FSX. For more serious training, I would black out the surroundings, and doors on. Wish I had any sim back in the 80's when I started flying. Today, I fly and maintain the multimillion dollar airline kind. Great job, and thanks for sharing.

Sweet. Where do you get one of these and what is usually the price range for one?

60k and two bits of timber to keep the side screens steady and a stack of pallets to climb in it... 🤔 I'd still like one though!

Martin: Finally done and working great ! Microsoft: Awe that's neat, well here's FS 2020 - Start over !

Could you please explain how and what additional hardware to buy along with the SEW Eurodrive 6DOF Motion Platform (any model no.? etc.) and how did you integrate it with TRC software? Thank you.

wah...... lovely

I remember one time on fsx I was landing on 04L at JFK on a CLS B747 as I was about 100' to touch down suddenly a wind gust pushed me to the right had to abort landing immediately or I would've ended up on the grass then screen would show crash. Then went around and same gust was there but I was prepared.

This video is excellent for GCSE Digital Technology Students.

Apply roll pressure into the wind on takeoff to compensate for crosswind

Hi Martin , do you have building plans for the moving platform , like to know what you have used for aluminium struts and connections, I have 6 servo with actuators regards Hen

Stick it on a giant 8 ton industrial robot arm so it can twirl you around at different angles. It will simulate the violent motions of a jet fighter. It would make an extreme thrill ride as well as a super imersive flight Sim station.

I noticed that it stays level during a climb or decent. Nor tilts left and right. It's still cool though but I think it needs some firmware mods to make it more realistic

Wow Amzing again Martin , would love to come see it , Germany ?

Some serious money right there

Hi, where did you learn all the stuff you know, wiring, software pc, how to connect them to everything to make it work, because i am really interested to learn.

Cool!

WINDOWS: An error has occurrend. To stay alive: Use parachute....hehehehe

Hi, I'm designing my own Diamond DA62 simulator and was just wondering what size screens you have on your setup.

7:55 Did anyone else get more than a little anxious when he simulated that engine failure? I mean the whole sim even creaks and bounces like I imagine a real plane would in this type of situation. JFC! That was terrifying!

Did you engineer and built this yourself? I know you can buy the TRC setup off the shelf but not yet seen an affordable 6degree of freedom setup for home simulators. Where did you get the equipment? Is there a plan out there to replicate your setup?

That was some pretty good flying dood, 'SPECT! Am I correct in thinking the big red plug at the start is a Three-Phase electrical supply? If so, here in the UK, Three-Phase is usually 400VAC 50Hz. is it the same in Germany?

Hallo ,welsche Aktuatoren sind das genau ? von SEW TYP? Wäre für eine genaue bezeichnung dankbar LG

wooow its amazing man do you buyed and if you buyed how much do you buy please answer my question

What is the price tag? can it run off the new MS flight 2020 or xplane?

Оплата электричества,сколько потребляет ,степень защиты перегрузка? Спасибо

Awesome FMS. I would like to say though you should not be training for this type of flying as your flight planning skills (weather) should have revealed to you not to go up. I realize we get surprised by weather at times, but when in doubt turn about and don't get tempted unless you like living on the edge. Just had to throw that out there for those on the edge. Calm blue skies to all.

I winder what the latency is? It takes less that half a second to start to feel motion sickness

Any updated videos on this? What does DOT think of it?

Hey, what happens if you run "out of memory ? .... Does it kick you out of your seat automatically or something ?!

What happens if you explode the flight simulator plane. Does the cockpit explode?

You should keep a cross hanging over the dashboard in that thing. Just for safety.

with an envy opinion, you should align your monitors or view, align your horizona to be in the middle of the fist roll of gauges is going to be similar to real. and other this is use a wrap screen other than monitor, you will feel the imersion

Wonderful!!!, Do you have specs of those electric actuators and the motion system?.

Stunning amount of work! Do you know how they made the 172 panel look so authentic and what yoke system they're using? Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out how we got those rain effects on the windscreen? I've played FSX for years and I never was able to get that even with high-end hardware?

Wow that is some good work mate. I am working on a 737 simulator and I am about half way done. But that is some impressive work.

How much did you spent for the full system.? The motion accessory is on the market?

Epico

Its good if have both side a big electric fan 😁

Such a nice tidy, simple and relatively compact design. What's the chances on some more specs on the actuator set-up? please.

Awesome setup, cant even keep the c172 on the RW :'D

I did not know of this sim’s existence.

beautiful How do I get it

How do you get the dials and gauges to work with the sim?

Can I come to see this simulator? I wonder how it compares to a VR setup.

is there a model or option to have a lower height to fit in basement?

Sheeeezee with a rig like that you would think they would incorporate a curved monitor that would fit like a real Cessna windshield! Not 3 standard monitors?
