HOW MUCH??? | Home Flight Simulator | Home Sim Pilot

Very sweet setup. But how often do you run into issues? Do the peripherals place nice with each other, or does the sim have issues often? It's important to ask because it's a big investment, and those are things you might not find out until the money has been spent.

Curious
How would skills using this or any other simulator transfer over to flying a real airplane?
Could one , "cold" turkey step into a Cessna, as an example, and be able fly it.

This is a great setup! Where did you get the panel? I know you said they are no longer in production but not sure what to look for.

Thank you

Great Simulator !!!!!

Wow!!!; that is one heck of a nice set up; you went all out on that , and it came out real well.

I love what you built and took the time to learn how to fly, I'm into the hobby as well has spent a lot on models after crashing and rebuilding love your video.

Awesome set up man, and great video. I'd like to connect more and talk shop. Thanks for what you did here, and keep it up. I'd love to fly a flight on your righ.

You could get your private pilots license with instrument rating for that price! If I was going to put that much money into a sim, it had better be an all glass cockpit!

Living the dream. Well done.

Epic

Stunning build! I'm building my first Simulator rig at the moment but I am an absolute beginner with all of it. Already made a mistake by buying the wrong type of computer. That is SO cool to hear that you actually flew aircraft before and you find the simulator to be enjoyable. Great video with lots of info! Thank you!

You know, I was fortunate to sacrifice myself to build my Cessna cockpit. At the time, I was right to do so. I made this sacrifice to obtain a cockpit at a lower cost, but to achieve that, I had to import all my equipment from the United States. If I hadn't invested in this equipment, the cost of my cockpit would have been eight times my daily salary, given the inflation affecting Africa. Thank you from Algiers ;))

thank you for share!
very detailed

This is way over my head but it's very cool.

you have the flight bug, nice setup, the instrument panel is a beauty. have fun, maybe video a flight

He'll spend that money on getting your Real private Pilot License.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

VR makes all of this obsolete. But great set up!

I do not understand how and why you are able to talk to actual ATC personnel, while flying a sim. Surely they cannot see you on radar. Seems that bothering those people would bring fines to a person. Just curious.

I appreciate this video. Im getting my PPL right now and im going to build a very similar rig. I really appreciate all the tips and the walk through

That was awesome

Really cool. I love the mix of ingenuity, skill, hard work and a perfect final resolution. Nice work and really amazing! I now feel let down flying MSFS with my VR headset...lol... !!

This is awesome thx for sharing

Awsom

Issue is - Digital Glass dash - not possible if its static

serious system thanks for sharing

well done. Thank you so much !!!!

Very cool!

Man that's dope. I bet troubleshooting when something goes wonkey is a pain though.

Awesome!!!!!!!

CJ on the command

Too cool. Love to try one of these.

one word, VR!

Good for you. Thank you for all of the information regarding this Sim setup. I love aviation so this information is invaluable to me. A solid Sub!

Excellent setup. Is it approved to log sim time?

Almost 20 years ago, I bought my first ultralight. After 3 or 4 years of buying and fixing different ULs, paying for engine rebuilds, parts, fuel, and years of storage at the airport... I probably pissed away what you've spent here (adjusted for inflation). The money per hour of flying just wasn't worth it for me, so went back to motorcycles. You have an awesome setup, and now that I'm in my 70s, it might be a better solution to get back into flying. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Holy crap, well done!

Impressive

Do you play IL2 ww2 flight sim?

cool. Not expensive at all.

This is a fantastic and phenomenal build by the way!

I'm in contact with a flight instructor, who is a colleague of mine. I started to check the price tag for getting a flight license and what it takes to keep it. THAT is expensive 🤯 To take part in their flight association they have a starting fee of 2000€ insanely expensive. Flight sim is a great alternative. Nicely done!

I also got my CFI back in 2008. In helicopters. I have not stopped flying since and do not look back. I do wish I had my airplane license though, as then I would be a real pilot.

Thanks for the video, considering building something like this for my daughter who wants to be a pilot now.

I finnally found someone who has the same vision as I do. Brilliant work Outstanding. I am building a system this shows me what the close to the top end looks like. Thanks so much. There are many lame presentations. This is great. Thank you liked and subscribed.

The phrase "The biggest expense so far" goes a long way. You sir, are committed! 😬 ✌️
