A big HELLO from Canada. Your home set up is absolutely AMAZING!!!! The best I have ever seen for a home sim. I am currently building a 172 set up, modeled after the one seen from "On The Glide Slope". THANK YOU for posting and sharing this information. It is so HELPFUL to the rest of us "flight simmers" who are not as technically inclined. LOVE all your videos. I hope you can find time to post MORE. Two thumbs up.

This is why freedom is awesome. I've seen several sim setups and the regular people making setups for themselves outclass commercial simulators by entire leagues. Several of them have the potential to be put to use commercially if they make it easier to build. A bit of technology and a lot of passion is just incredible.

@AlfredtwinSim 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you and absolutely. I flew brand new Level-D multimillion dollar sims and was surprised that they all have poor visuals. And general aviation setups are sometimes super expensive but not really that much attractive - the only thing missing with my setup is going the certification route than it would be a nice professional training sim. But maybe I sell it to a flight school one day to make space for new projects.

Thanks for the video. Truly a work of art and love! I am a private pilot, and I quit flying when my children were young. When I retired I would start flying again. A couple of years ago I had a stroke and might not be able to fly real airplanes. So I have had in mind building a sim much like yours. Many thanks for your ideas and I wish you the best!

If the medical is the problem I can assure you that building such a sim is maybe also very much rewarding as a substitute. Especially since the hobby bring so many fields of interest together that make it a journey of its own. Glad I could inspire you and all the best for your upcoming plans.

The flight sim world doesn't do enough to take advantage of this very amazing feature and people have no idea how much of a difference it makes when flying, especially a helicopter.

My first sim was made of plywood and pvc poe over thirty five years ago and i was using fs 2 by Atari and. Commodore 64 back in the stone ages:)..the sim comp packs have come a long since then ( Microsoft fs..and X plane))...thanks for sharing!!! I use laptops and VR goggle now looking forward to the MS 2020 package but I love my old school sim pack too!!

@AlfredtwinSim 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for commenting and indeed, I can remember my Commodore 64 well and thus have a clear idea of the long way we have come. VR can be interesting I am sure. But for me the smell and touch of a cockpit to physically be there is a must and so the experience is a different one. But the future will bring new technology so let’s see where we are in 10 years from now.

Like to see Elite Dangerous on this lol. I love my Buttkicker Gamer 2 with DCS. The first time I used it I landed on the carrier with the F18. I had it turned up too much and when I hit the deck it knocked a picture off my wall. Firing the gun is insane also. Kobuleti taxi way is separated by cement sections and when I taxi you can feel the bumps between the sections.

Well those are two quite different hobbies - for me owning this piece - especially being a father of a young family with sometimes not more than 30min breaks to make a flight - it would be impossible to go somewhere an spend half the day there for a short flight. So building a sim just makes me build a bigger sim (with a faster and more complex aircraft).

@JenniferinIllinois 3 жыл бұрын

What an amazing home cockpit. I'm just starting to gather parts for my own build. The PFC throttle has me very intrigued due to the ability to swap out throttle types. Obviously it's very pricey though. I don't foresee flying airliners but I would like to have something 'realistic' for most GA aircraft and even some business jets. How difficult is the throttle to setup (is it 'plug and play' or does it require some setup in an app or programming)? Not much info out about it.

sorry for the late reply! If it is still of interest, the setup is easy, you just have to assign the axes to your sim.
