- I'm tearing down my 737 home cockpit to show how it is put together.
Cockpit details:
Cockpit: diy design and build
Throttle quadrant: CockpitForYou
Software: Prosim 737
Simulator: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Visuals: 3 x 65" LG TVs

I am a synth builder (and a humble flight sim-er). DIY synths cabling is often a nightmare. So i can only imagine the phenomenal work in this incredible build. So many errors can occur... And the whole thing is just a dream. Bravo.
Thank you! I have gained a lot of respect for those that manages to make these cabling nightmares like neat and tidy.
Just incredible! I can't even begin to wrap my head around all of the time and resources required to get this done, let alone the patience and of course intelligence. I wouldn't even know where to start. Well done!
Thank you :)
Imagine having an expensive and amazingly crafted cockpit recreation, and a $10 chair to it lmao
Words can’t describe how impressive this is. The breakdown video itself is so good too! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am not a pilot and have never played a sim. I am a maker a, tech geek and aviation enthusiast and this is INSANE!!. WOW!
This is a labour of love. I cannot think how many hours you spent on this, let alone your wife allowing you to install next to the kitchen :)
It is fortunately the main kitchen of the house. It's in a small rental appartment in the basement. I have spent a lot of wife acceptance points, but building a sim in the kitchen would not be accepted 🤣
Well done Sir. I do like all the metal elements within your design. I'd like to build this same out of wood if I could find the right plans or Dimensional data. There are a lot of images online but have yet to find a complete DIY set of scale plans. Like others, respect for your knowledge and intelligence to put this all together.
Thank you very much! If you look at 737DIYSIM: youtube.com/@helimech8152?si=qVQrNFs_hj_EnoYZ and go to his website, I believe there are plans for a complete cockpit. I found that making my own CAD model was a good way of consolidating dimensional data that is available online. I had to go through a lot of iterations using the online data as reference and guidance as it was impossible to make a consistent model by using the data blindly. Making a CAD model is also beneficial as incoperates the selected method of manufacturing componets, which differers greatly between cockpitbuilders.
Absolutely insane work!! I watched with my daughter and she couldn't stop saying "bro~~". I am proud of you.
Thank you! Cool to hear that the younger generation finds it "interesting" :)
There is only one thing to say WOW !!!!
idk why. but he sounds norwegian. Broski got that crisp norwegian dialect
When your country offers free healthcare and adequate social net... Saying this with respect, jelous! 😊
good effort.....
You are a genius sir, youre bound for success here on youtube
Thank you! I feel that I "know" what I'm doing with regards to sim building, however I still have more to learn about youtubing.
@@B738DIY You’re doing great, the amount of potential you have is insane dude. Good luck and keep it up
Absolutely insane build, love it!!
You are nuts man! wow!
My wife agrees :)
Absolutely crazy - in the most positive and awesome way!
When your country offers free healthcare and adequate social net... Saying this with respect, jelous! 😊
Awesome build!
Soooo jealous :)
Jaysus! Someone has way too much time on their hands!!! My wife would kills me if I said ... 'Hey honey. .. do we really need ALL of this living room space?'
Wow! New to this hobby and can only say, wow! Verkligen bra jobbat!
Tusen takk! :)
это Ах.... о ! Красава
Awsome stuff!
Bravo!
At this point I think it would be better to go get an ATPL and fly a real plane dude! Well done, great work!
Your probably correct. However the nice thing with having the "plane" in the basement is that I can "fly" when the kids are finally sleeping :)
@@B738DIYA man can dream to have 737 in basement 😂...
Hi! An indredible work! I want to ask you:
Is everything there made by you? What percentage of the materials and modules was actually bought? I am seeing a logo of a company on the midpanel. So, as you said 10-30k, is this euros and what is meant with these range?
What's the way of having producing the backlit panels? Is a painter plastic board which is then milled? And is there a way of 3d print the PCB boards for your project?
Thank you! The main components I bought as finished flight simulator parts are the throttle quadrant, the glear wings and the start switches. The rest is my diy design which I have either 3D printed, CNC machined my self or had a local company laser cut out of aluminium. I of course have bought the standard switches, monitors connectors etc. 10 - 30 k euro / USD is my guess. It is very hard to give an accurate estimate of a diy project. It depends on the what hardware you buy. A magnetic switch will cost 900 USD, lockin toggle switches can cost 40 USD a piece. While the same fuctions can be covered by switches costing 1 USD. Then you have the cost of machines for fabricating parts which can be a very cheap or expensive. Then there is the issue of creating accurate bill of materials so that buying wrong parts is minimized.
I created backlit panels by CNC machining opal cast plexiglass. The backlight PCBs are etched, see www.youtube.com/@reps which has a video on using laser to create PCBs for home etching. Would recomend using a service as PCBWAY or JLCPCB for PCBs.
@@B738DIY I am sending you love, peace and success in all your endeavors, a very nice answer of yours, indeed!
EXCELLENT - So upgrades? are you thinking Max? or poss filling in the spaces with 787 hardware? OH, do you log your flight hours? - that should be fun. You may have more flight hours in your 737 sim. than most new hires with carriers. Does your set up offer emergencies, engine outs and so forth? Cheers....
Thank you! The upgrade I'm currently working on is to add motion to the simulator (pitch and roll). I do not have any log outside what MSFS logs. Maybe I should get a proper log book :) I'm using Prosim 737 that which has options for triggering emergencies, however I have not used it so far.
Brilliant - adding pitch that gives a sensation of pushing you back into your seat after V1 will be such a nice addition. Adding roll as well - both perfect indeed!!! @@B738DIY
Amazing work. Would you share or sell plans of your steel frame.?
Hey Alcenes, Just another fellow sim builder here. In case you're interested, there is a Sim company focused on the 737 that does sell a metal frame a lot like DIY's the one thing you wouldn't get is, the wondow frames, side walls and headliner panels. Again, if interested, check em out. Best - Jeff
@@drumdog287 Thank you for the info. What's the name of the company?
Sismo Solutions@@Alcenes
Amazing build! Did you have the aluminum structure custom made?
Thank you! I had the aluminium laser cut by a local company, based on flatened patterns from my CAD model. I had to bend everything into shape before assembling the cockpit
WTF!? Some people are just smart I guess. That and have a lot of time.
Do you have an estimate on how much did it cost you in materials, excluding the 2 PCs and monitors?
My rough guess is in the 10k to 30k range.
Jättebra!
Tusen takk! :)
Are you norwigen
Does this mean no more flight simulator videos?
No 😊. I'm currently finishing up some rewiring. Then it is back to reassembling with some nice upgrades
will you re assemble it at some stage ?
Yes! I'm in the process of making some serious upgrades. I'm also planning on making videos on the reassembling process
Do you have a wife and if so how the fuck did you get her to green light a kitchen sim ? 😂😂😂
You can buy one for 20M
It's not that mutch ☠️
Wowwwwww
