I I bought a 75 inch TV. It's great to fly with this image. I use MSFS2020, DCS and X-PLANE 12!!!

That felt real! Damn! One thing I think the flight simulator s/w guys can do for mixed reality is to recognise fiducials on the physical cockpit. The fiducials can be a few QR code stickers (or whatever) that you place on your physical cockpit and then the software and do its warp and alignment as required. This is not a new idea and is used a lot in 3D camera calibration. Another idea would be to have the render engine do shadow or lighting contrast adjustments based on the VR views and project that on to your physical view (hence casting shadows or lighting in your cockpit). That would make it so much more immersive!

What setup do you have there ? Could you list your components you use in this video please ? I’m considering a quest3 and desperately need to update my old plastic pedals and yoke. I have MSFS so do you think the Mixed Reality pass ugh software would work the same (I assume so since it’s just a hole on the desktop ?). Would also like to know how immersive it is and how much it models reality. Thanks.

Absolutely outstanding and super fun to watch .. thank you..

Subscribed! Liked! This is my first air show I am attending and I’m a 31 year old pilot based out of Australia. Thank you so much for this video, it’s definitely helped me plan it all out for what’s up in a few weeks!

Is it possible to use multiple parts like encoder or switches in the single arduino? What is the Maximum amount of switch or encoder that can be connected in one arduino? And is it possible to use multiple arduino for one pc?

Moza has flight Sim stuff as well now

This is fantastic, thank you so much Russ!

I just started MSFT a couple weeks ago.. IT IS AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On my 4k monitor. BUT it is far more fun in VR with my quest 3... So immersive and real life.. Did you smack your left thumb ??

Thank you sir!

I couldn't get this to work for me (I'm 66 years old) has there been any progress from when you first showcased this software? I would love to get it to work. I couldn't get Reality Mixer to work either. I know I'm probably missing something simple. (that's usually my problem).

Russ, we need a solid VR Glove

Hi M. Barlow, I'm looking at your videos with the passthrough and I'm trying to figure out why my air manager G1000 in passthrough is not working because your's are working fine. Mine freeze in vr and the touch screen is not working, but if I come out of vr it's working fine.... If you have a idea let me know thank you.

Missed you at FS Expo

Does force feedback apply to any FlyByWire aircraft that has a yoke?

Hi M. Barlow, I installed air manager, I already have the knobster. When flying with the monitor I can use air manager with G1000 and knobster but if I try to fly with quest 3 in vr with virtual desktop and color panel, It says the kobster is not plug and the g-1000 don't work. Do you have a idea what can be my problem, thank you and have a nice day.

Thank you for this great simple to follow introduction

Hey Russ. I've really enjoyed revisiting your excellent review so that I can better understand this yoke myself. Can I ask, how do you disable the airflow over the aircraft on takeoff? Cheers mate.

Where the cockpit windows bullet proof ?.

Luv the plane. One of my favourites. Top videos. Keep up the good work 👍🙂

Can the kickstarter software be updated in the future ,why are some skeptical??? Or am I misunderstanding something about kickstarters

The heading got me excited. I own a Vans RV8 with glass panel and no instruments in the back seat. I thought what a great idea. 😂 I can stream the instruments onto the ipad and my son in the back seat can have an instrument panel, other than looking over my shoulder when he flys. Dam 😢 only for simulators...

Your comments about VR are very misinformed. PiMax 5k & 8K give 140 degrees FOV, Crystal is very clear and higher than 4k, motion sickness happens when your frame rate is not a fraction of your Hz i.e 90Hz = 45 or 30 fps. if you can't divide your Hz by your frame rate you have a mismatch leading to sickness, a few other points too but I forget in the moment as I'm moving house.

Your job as a pilot was to fly safe and get plane on the ground. Microsoft’s job is only one thing: to increase shareholder value. Xplane probably went in the direction they did so they didn’t have to compete with MS. Austen meyer didn’t buy is Lancair by being a nice guy and building what we want; he found a way to make money and not compete with MS.

Does the app work with the Knobster?

Russ, two quick questions. For VR flight, Quest 3 or HP Reverb G2 ? Second, is there a way to communicate with you outside of public comments, I.e., email?

Is it working while in VR/MR?

A link to the app would be nice, thanks

Thanks for this Russ. Do you know why there is a severe lack of free airliner instruments available for FS2020 to download from Sim Innovations? We have lots of instruments for prop aircraft (a lot of them variations of the same base instrument model), however, the few airliner instruments are almost all restricted to X-Plane or FSX, and with variable naming changes they are no use in FS2020.

That’s pretty kewl! Thanx Russ!

Thanks Russ, my cockpit is build based on air manager, however my impression is that siminnovations is very silent, means not marketing at all and not further developing the capabilities which is a shame for this great product.

Thanks Russ. The instrument streaming is intriguing. Could I stream the A320 MCDU for example? Ditto for overhead panels?

obvious question .. interface to Knobster?

Really interesting app, and a nice, concise review, or introduction. Getting away from mousing around knobs and switches would be great.

Thanks for that Russ. Looks like a worthy add on.

Great video. As all your videos are.

I love your stuff! I am just getting back into flying and got my medical and BFR. I bought a Mooney 201 and will be building a complete simulator while doing my IPC. Monday I will be flying my plane to Salem to get a complete new avionics upgrade. This includes Garmin G3x, GTN 750, duel G-5s, and the Garmin 500 autopilot. I am going to do a complete replica of the plane in a simulator. I am going to upgrade my yoke, and build my own instrument panel. I have to say that the Real Sim stuff seems crazy expensive for what you get. I can buy a 3d printer, some Arduino Megas, and some early generation Ipads and make my own. It's going to be a journey and won't be done before the instrument panel is done and I start my IPC but I should have enough done to use the simulator to supplement the training. Hopefully the new force feedback yokes will be available by the time I get there. However, IPC is all about procedures so it isn't that important.

Using the desktop version on two 15” touch screens and since the xp12 beta releases on fps loss!

Great video, Mr. Barlow!

Works cool like touch screen Is I possible to have multiple split screen / iPads for sections of instrument sections. It is less expensive than pricey I Instrumentation. Wow!

Thanks for the heads up Russ. I'd kind of given up on the iPad app but now with this functionality I'm sure going to be using it.

I tried air manager for iPad and MSFS about a year ago. It was ok. I hope streaming becomes available for MSFS. The current combination isn’t workable.

Sweet , thank you for what you do for the community.

Love it

Very cool!!

I HAVE TO SEE IT AND TRY IT BEFORE I SHELL OUT THAT MUCH MONEY.

NEEDS TO BE (software driven) TO ALLOW FOR IMPROVEMENTS & SO UPGRADES CAN BE RECEIVED BY THE OWNER.

so with this program you can use air manager in vr mixed reality mode? i know you can't use air manager in vr.

I looked thru your vids and didn’t see it but would love a tour of the desk and how you built it out to accommodate the tq6, trim wheel, and what does on top of the Yoko

So simple and direct. Exactly what was needed
