CNC made parts for Bergisons Helicopter Collective
Flying helicopters in flight simulators like DCS is great fun! But to learn how to control them properly can be frustrating without the appropriate flight controls. So I built myself and a friend each a helicopter collective. This is a short video showing some parts I made with my Stepcraft CNC.

Bergisons F/A-18E Hornet Simulator: annunciator and gauges test during start-up
Переглядів 27 тис.6 років тому
A quick start-up in my F/A-18E Simulator to test annunciators and gauges are working with the new version of the VRS Superbug and Tripods Superscript. A note of CAUTION: I am NOT a rated Hornet pilot and this start-up sequence is not according F-18/NATOPS SOPs, so don't try this in the real Hornet!

Here's me doing a quick "pattern" over LOWI (Innsbruck, Austria) in my F/A-18E Hornet Flight Simulator. Departing RWY 26 and (kind of) circling to RWY 08 for a landing. To you Hornet connoisseurs: the Master Warning is coming on at Take Off Power because I haven't built the T/O trim pusbutton and the Ejection Seat Arm handle yet, so I can't set them correctly. And I KNOW that the camera BIT ist...
F/A-18E Flight Simulator

A friend of mine testing the sim on a short flight from my hometown (Salzburg/LOWS) to his (Innsbruck-LOWI). For an airline pilot I think he is doing a pretty good low-level :) (The weird flickering on the screen seems to be a particularity of the phone camera used, it is not visible on the screen...) Enjoy!

The Bergison G-Seat
Переглядів 34 тис.10 років тому
This is a short introduction of my homemade G-seat. The seat is part of a flight simulator cockpit and is able to simulate forces in all tree dimensions. This makes simulated flying even more fun and also greatly increases realism and immersion. Find out more about the G-seat at my website: meintourenbuch.net/simpit
Really amazing, what software is running this?
I feel like we're gonna get a homemade cockpit that actually blows you up if you get hit by a missile within this decade🤣
I HATED this video
And irritating annoying unnecessary background music 🙄
Terrible audio
Cool setup! Can it also give a sense of vibration for things like firing guns in a fighter jet? If not, can it be used in concert with something like a Jetpad?
Yes, this version also has a bass shaker for vibration.
I bought real car key switch for my go cart for $15 US, no reason y it wouldnt easilt be adaptable to a sim switch using an arduino or Rasberri PI.
AWESOME !!!!!
That’s absolutely sick all you need is and actual hornet stick now
So how do you get one and how much does the full setup cost ive been looking for something like this forever
How does the stick work with a single Hall sensor?
I just used the hall sensor that is already at work in the Thrustmaster stick base. It senses deflection on a 2D field (X/Y) with just one sensor and one magnet.
Insane build. Cant believe this is 5 years ago.
Nice design. I designed and built a collective as well. Actually, I built several collectives. Got tired of it and open sourced my design. Took a couple of years to break down and share with the community. But it felt really good doing it. Who knew... Have you ever thought of open sourcing your g-seat design? Might feel good to share.
Did you ever find a builder for your design? Have you considered selling the plans, or maybe even open sourcing the project?
Sorry for the late reply. Plans, Instructions and Part Lists are available as a DIY License for private build and use here: makers.bergison.com/
will this work in DCS?
Yes, works with every sim that can export telemetry data. DCS certainly does.
cool but why an f16 grip?
The Hornet grip was not available yet when I shot this video.
@@bergison oh alright. really cool setup though!
this king of thing only makes sense if you have a mixed reality headset virtual outside the cockpit - real world inside otherwise... its really doesn't work!
Incredibly cool, well done!
Awesome.
This looks like a brilliant idea. I think there are two widely separate markets for your Motion Integrated seat, hence why the French company is concentrating on the commercial market. 1. Commercial users need a robust, reliable model that can withstand 10000's of hours of use with very little downtime from component failures, this is why their price is so high. 2. Home users need an affordable product that only needs to last a couple of hundred hrs of use per year, so the components could be much cheaper. Engineering a seat with the best components for commercial use is, in some ways, easier than finding the balance of affordability/durability for a home user on a small budget. I hope you can find a company to produce units for home gamers... I would guess this will NOT be the same company building for commercial/defence markets in mind, they are vastly different engineering propositions. My very best wishes for your success! P.S. I hope you have a good commercial lawyer looking after your intellectual property.
Have you considered using an induction based brake instead of oil dampeners in the dampening of the joystick? With some engineering, you could even control something like that in software, deactivating the dampening when moving away from center or towards center in a controlled way and strengthening the dampening when moving towards center faster than a given threshold.
lol you look like you anticipe the movement !
or exaggerate I would say
What material do you use ? Thanks
I use ABS (Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol) for non-backlit panels and 70% translucent plexiglass for backlit ones.
This video is very good! I would like to ask you a question, what is your solution for magnetic switches, I am building a F-16 home cockipit, and Honeywell magnetic switches are very expensive, going after a DIY solution! Please would like your opinion on this! I'm subscribed to your can Thanks!
Hi Humberto, I have not built such switches myself, but I know some guys at hornetpits.org have. Check out this discussion: hornetpits.org/index.php?topic=660.0 you may find some useful information there.
@@bergison thanks, friend!🖖
@@bergison Thanks for the info, but I can't create a forum account!
a bit outdated, but check out the warthog project, he has an vid on this
Fantastic idea I had a go of the real jaguar simulator at raf lossiemouth in the 80s The ejection seat had an air bladder which made contact with your back . When taking off the air bladder inflated into your back and it gave the sensation you were being pushed into the seat it was superb . Regards Dave from Scotland
Fantastic sim
Hi there I was wondering what was going on with your G seat since I discovered it a while ago ? Will we ever have the opportunity to get one ? great job anyway !
is that even the f18 hornet stick?
No, the Hornet stick was not available back then.
@@bergison ah ok
This is a well made tutorial! Well done!
All that fancy gear, and uses a warthog stick…. Lol
The Hornet stick came out long after I made this video. Switch on your brains before posting man.
@@bergison Time to upgrade… LOL
Really good Job, Congratulations!
Are those cougar MFDs?
How does one get the switch interfaces with the same simulator software? That’s my struggle. Thanks.
Hi Dustin, have a look at the switch interface tutorial on my website: bergisons.simpit.info/tutorial_interface_buttons
@@bergison thanks!
so quick question, hows development coming along? i'm still really interested in this seat and its cost
This should come with every DCS World download
Now only 99.99
Too noisy.
how much das this thing weigh and would it be compatible with like the dofreality h6 ?
Hornet?
Yep, the E is the single seat modern version of the fighter.
Good work ! Congratulation
Impressive work, how did that prototype work out btw? Do you notice your feets being stationary or is the brain tricked enough to see beyond the fact? If it is a noticeable a footrest connected to the base could work, also a dedeicated motor might improve it!
No, the stationary ground plane does not impede immersion at all.
@@bergison yes, but I see you struggle a lot with the driving wheel, which does not move, while the seat is tossing you around. This is very poor simulation, as in real life, the G-Forces don't mess up the control, the distance to the wheel.
Nice! Please l would like to know what material is this? Is this plexiglass painted?
it is ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) coated with scratchproof black paint.
🤣🤣🤣
NOT EVEN THE F18 HOTAS
Right dude, being clueless but posting rude comments. This video was made almost a year BEFORE the F-18 HOTAS was available.
Great tutorial, the best I've seen so far! Simple and effective!
Excellent !
а это что за материал ?
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
How much for the whole rig? Thanks!!!
What I don't understand about all of this is how do you simulate what's outside of the cockpit? What's the point if you're not outside at least a hemisphere.
I look at the "outsides" via a modified VR headset. Check out my website for all details about the simulator: bergisons.simpit.info/F-18E%20Super%20Hornet%20simpit
And an A-10/F-16 stick...hmmm.
This video was published in October 2018, the Hornet grip addon for the Warthog was not available back then...
