How a Flight Simulator / Home Cockpit Comes to Life

ℹ️ Take a quick glance at all of the steps involved in building a Home Cockpit Prototype, with high fidelity, that will be used as the Template for future desktop trainers for plots in the Citation Mustang, with Garmin's G1000. After this video the Trainer received further polishing but the video shows it fully functional. It was built to be compatible with Flight Simulator, X-Plane 11 and 12, prepar3D and FSX. I will be making more videos addressing the different components and how they were setup so make sure to subscribe and stay tuned! If you have any questions please comment or contact me at: www.digitaljoshua.com/contact/
*Please note*: Aside from the ordered parts, this project is completely hand made and was assembled in my garage.

Great setup! Unfortunately don't have the spare dollars for all those 'simgear' panels, so are building a VR 'touch' instrument panel were encoders/switches/controls are placed on plywood panels in the position were they are in the real aircraft. This is so you can just reach out and adjust them without the immersion breaking reaching for a mouse. Working great so far. All the best.

Awesome stuff, that looks like tons of work! I’d love to give it a test flight some day.

Just starting on my own journey here for an A-10 sim. Will be years in the making, but I'm excited to combine all of the hobbies I have had over the years into this huge project. And learn a million new skills too!

It's awesome to do. Will you be using DCS? Also make sure to check out my other videos for tips which can greatly help you along the way. I will be publishing two more videos soon that are related to building / assembly, so stay tuned! Thanks for the comment ✌

@@joshuamarius Thanks! I just subscribed to your channel - yeah, will use DCS. Planning to use it maybe half time in VR and half with a big screen - but I have a long way to go, literally just created my first component: the standby compass.

I'd like to have that on a hydraulic platform for full motion...preferably one that can go inverted in any direction.

Fortunately, for me, I want one for space sims. So I don't have to be precise with measuring tape and calipers to get a 1:1 reproduction, I can go in whatever direction feels more comfortable. Unfortunately for me, I want one for space sims, so there's nothing I can measure and use as a baseline to get started with. I can, however, find a very comfortable(and hopefully affordable) seat from a car/truck at a scrap yard, and build around that. When I finally get to a place with enough room for this, I hope to find one that has built in heated seats(or just get one of the covers that plugs into an accessory socket) for added bling.
