When I got out of the Navy I went to work for DOD on the base I got out at a division called Manned Flight Simulator. We had flight simulators of many different kinds of aircraft that were built from planes like this one. We built and operated them for the Navy. I can't remember all the planes but I know they had an F-14 and several attack aircraft. There was multiple platforms they operated in. One was a 40' sphere with hidden cameras that projected full visuals in the inside of the dome. Others were platforms where they could roll different "aircraft" into the environment on rails. They also had a full motion simulator for the V-22 Osprey that was a full cockpit with the visuals projected on screens outside the cockpit so it looked realistic. I worked on the AH-1 Cobra program. We took Cobra helicopters and cut everything away but the cockpit and then built a base for it that housed all the computers and such. They weren't motion but every circuit breaker/device could be faulted and their aircraft responded accordingly. It had head tracking for the gunner, seat shakers, etc. Everything worked. It was a very cool place to work with the smartest people I ever worked with. Often they'd have a system set up and the pilots would be done so you could get some seat time in the different simulators. Since I was on the Cobra team we had plenty of opportunities to fly them. My claim to fame was that I was the first employee (non-pilot) who successfully auto rotated the Cobra in. It wasn't a pretty landing but the computer said I walked away from it.
This is awesome, great job.. I do find it strange that a full working cockpit exists, but then you mask it all out with VR. May as well just had the basic seat & controls on the motion platform.
In my early days as an AF guy I was a flight sim instructor. I had 6,000 hours of cockpit time and only wished for full cockpit motion and visuals like this. I'd live to give this rig a try.
what happens when you do a full roll or if you stay inverted? Does the cockpit roll to like 20-30 degrees when you do the first stick input and then smoothly goes back to "neutral" until you do another roll back to straight and level? Or if you roll to 90 degrees and stay in that attitude, will the motion system go back to neutral position in a smooth fashion?
I don't think motion sim is really worth it for fighter sims because you're in all sorts of orientations. You're frequently inverted and sometimes pulling toward the ground, in a split s for example. There's no way to simulate that. I think it might be great for helicopter sims, though.
Whether or not it is worth it depends on the person. Never will it be 100% realism. But it's just a simulation anyway. I have a motion simulator I use on a racing sim set up. It adds to the fun, but it's not the same and never will be as good as a track day. I've never had anyone try it out and ask to turn the seat off though.
@@pitpao Now you're talking. I think that could be pretty effective. I have the "Jet Pad" by Sim Shaker, basically a massage pad, but configurable software makes it respond to events in the game, like buffeting, which is huge. Then I added a bass shaker, and just hooked it up in the simplest way possible. I shot down a fighter with a missile at close range. It was on fire, and then hundreds of feet below me, it exploded. I felt the shockwave in my seat. That was unreal!
Yes, the Mixed Reality goggles from Varjo allow you to create a GeoFence of sorts, so you can essentially set where you want the real world to end and the sim world to begin.
@@rida2x yea probably the centrifuge would be hella expensive to maintain since it would have to accelerate and decelerate within short time frames, probably it can be replaced with another way to simulate g forces

Someone please help me on this: you go to the incredible effort of building a perfect replica of an F18 cockpit to the finest detail... and then you put a VR headset on that blocks it all out and replaces it with a CGI cockpit? You may as well be sitting in a featureless cardboard box (with hydraulics of course). What am I not seeing here?
Hes using Mixed Reality which I believe you are able to make it so the ingame CGI cockpit is disabled, and you see your own physical one. Yet the outside of your cockpit canopy is as you would see in game hence "mixed reality" instead of full blown virtual reality. Best of both worlds type of deal. It didn't look much like that on his 'recording' of his visual, but I do believe that is a capability of mixed reality
Can you do a follow up video that shows how you interact with the MFD's and aircraft controls? Does the VR cockpit match perfectly the physical cockpit? For example in racing sims I must disable/hide the on screen in game steering wheel so my physical steering wheel is the interface. I don't use VR though, so curios how that plays out. because mixed reality suggests you have a blend of in game and out of game video happening together, rather than edited together post flight.
He's using Mixed Reality. Thats why he went to so much trouble to get the interior right. In the game he's used a software mask to delineate between inside and outside the cockpit. So inside VR he is seeing his real cockpit and panels...and legs and arms via the colour Passthrough cameras on the front of the HMD and the game itself is only rendered outside of the cockpit passthrough masked area. So if you replay the video again you'll see those are his real arms and legs and cockpit and you'll also notice that the Headset tracking is close but not 100% perfect cause you'll see the VR canopy and outside shift back and forth a few virtual centimetres around the masked real Cockpit Panels.
I have a full mig 21 cockpit i ise for dcs and Microsoft flight sim i built everything works as it should but doesnt move like yours but i will now be working on making it move like yours does
Guess you just tell it what part of 3D space is supposed to be "real". That part of space gets images from the front cameras, everything else uses data from the video card.
yeah, it is a waste those googles 100% obviously it will be a bit expensive but using some kind of projection or even big monitors around you would enjoy the fact that you are inside a real cockpit with canopy and everything, i believe you have plans for sure i don't want to sound dumb, that cockpit need to be used with your eyes tho, amazing investiment

@@mururoa7024 The tech isn't perfect yet and the price is absurd but yeah i agree it looks cool as fuck in it's current state. Just imagine how much better it'll be within even the next 3 years.
You're missing the whole point. The cockpit is built for tactility and sense of scale. Because it is VR (it's not, it's AR, but even so..) finding and grabbing a controller is immersion breaking and annoying. To have no seem between what you feel and what you see is obviously the superior experience. There are obviously huge drawbacks too though.
I would rather have that cockpit in a carnival ride to make it spin for G-force. A screen under those conditions probably wouldn't work. You would have to add a heavy frame just to hold the screen. Best think is to improve VR sets, with more periferal view and better pixelized.
The future of air warfare it this. Real numbers of enlisted personnel have fallen to dangerous levels. However, the 'home pilots' are usually super profficient sim pilots SO come a war they can fly SIM DRONES from their home rigs or drone fighters to make up numbers! I am an Ex Air Force aircraft engineer. From time to time we did maintenance on the full motion sims on our bases. We also got to fly them. Several of us shocked 'real' aircrew who sat in with us as we did a mock sortie astounded that we could really handle the 'full size' aircraft and achieve good tactical control . I was actually recommended for pilot training by our base Chief Flight Instructor after seeing me 'fly' and taking me up in the real thing! I only fly little aircraft now I have retired i miss the days of real nap of the earth low level sorties! SUPERB sim build sir! If my country ever calls me, i have my full flight kit and bone dome by the door! Turn and burn!

I want to make an F4U Corsair cockpit just like this! Could you create a video detailing how you built and set this up? Also, what sim are you using-DCS, MSFS, or something else?
I’m guessing so you can have the experience of lowering the canopy. And because it gives you the realistic feeling of being in an enclosed space. If you didn’t have that you’d feel the air moving across your skin as you’re moved around.
This thing would cost a fraction of the cost of getting a private pilots license (~$20,000), let alone commercial ($80,000). So no, it would not be easier or cheaper by any remote reason.

I think the motion platform cost 40 000 € and the cockpit about 35 000 € and maybe the vr headset 6000 € , so you can buy a real small Cessna with this amount of money and you will get some change back ! 😂
What would be cooler is if you didn't have to wear the VR goggles. Perhaps some type of flexible LED membrane attached to the canopy that displays HD video
but then you would have no 3D view like you have with VR. I have tried wraparound displays with full-motion cockpits, but nothing beats VR, especially when I am formation flying, or any action where depth/distance perception is important. What we need is augmented reality where you still see the cockpit interior passed through the headset cameras while the view outside is created by the simulator.
You should mod the VR goggles like a helmet where the goggle are where the helmets visor is. It would make it feel more realistic since fighter pilots wear helmets.
This is awesome, but I suspect it's cost is measured in "how many cars could I buy instead"...
Or houses...
