- Welcome back to my home cockpit. Today we're flying out of Santa Monica Municipal (KSMO) and doing a tour of the Los Angeles area in the Cessna 152. As usual, we'll be using Air Manager to control the instruments in my plane.

AWESOME FLIGHT BRUDAH!!!!!! You flew right over where grew up, in the Beverly Hills area. Man, everything looked amazing!!! I believe the patchy dirt area was the Kenneth Hann park, great hiking and running trails. KSMO, looked awesome, that was one of my FBO's during my initial PPL training. I'm super stoked, my stuff should be arriving by the beginning of next week and I can't wait to start flying. I must say that one my favorite parts of the video was,"let's not become a famous view and splat into the mountain.", hilarious!!! Really well done and super inspiring! Keep up the great work! Stay safe and blessed!!!
Another awesome video DB. Beautiful work on the panels. I broke out my track IR and have fallen in love all over again. Keep on flying.
TrackIR is about as close as you can get to bridging the gap between flat panel and VR. I've had a Vive for the last 4 years, and I quite enjoy it. But I found the VR experience with MSFS quite abysmal. The low and inconsistent frame rates, even at low detail settings, make me nauseous. I've played other VR flying games (VTOL VR, AeroflyFS, and others) without any issue. I've spent hours in Boneworks and Half-Life: Alyx - experiences that make people uncomfortable after 30 minutes - without issue. Those all run near or beyond 90 fps But can't do MSFS at 30 fps in VR. It makes me sick.
TrackIR provides me that functionality of being able to look around, maintain my situational awareness, and the ability to enjoy the scenery in a natural way vs having to use manual controls. I still use my Xbox controller I have attached to my yoke from time to time to change views, but TrackIR has pretty much supplanted that now.
The videos are well edited, well flyed and well paced. Your work is amazing and you deserve a lot more subscribers than you actually have!! :)
Thank you. I do this for fun. I share what I do and those that enjoy it watch it. I'm happy with that. I'm not looking to grow a business or anything of the like. More subs is always good, of course. But I'm happy with just sharing my flying and having a place to showcase the Air Manager instruments and panels I build and let people download them to enhance their own flight experience.
After struggling for a very long time to get my touch panel to work and almost gave up, I finally have success and I cannot now believe my issue. I had failed to setup the touch panel in the PC WIndows OS. I was good to go once I went in Windows Control Panel -- Tablet PC Setting - and configured things for the touch panel. DUH!!!!
Hey mate, do you have an ETA on your video about your setup which you had mentioned? I'm planning for my own little Xmas pressie, which includes adding one or two added displays plus Knobster or similar. Would love to see something that helps me get that all running quickly instead of spending the entire holidays trying to figure it out myself! 😆
I'll see what I can do for you.
@@ottopilot6536 Much obliged, sir!
Your flight sim rig is simply awesome. But what I just cannot wrap my head around just yet are the touch screens. Touch screens from what I know only work with USB-C 3.X Gen X connections and PC graphics cards use HDMI and Display Ports. What are your touch panels connected to to support touch functionality and video with a PC as I can see / understand a PC video out from a graphics card to a touch capable panel but don't see how the touch can work without the USB-C.....
They connect via a dual HDMI to usb3 adapter for video display, and a regular USB C cable for touch data and power.
@@ottopilot6536 Hhhmmm! So I am trying to physically picture this touch panel connection. You are saying that the touch panel has two cables connected; a HDMI cable (HDMI to USB3 adapter) and a USB-C cable. And the other end of the cables (two USB cables) are connected to what? Or do I have my understand all wrong?
@@daywalker5458 I have 2 powered USB3 hubs behind my setup. The dual HDMI to USB 3 plugs into one of them.
Each touch monitor plugs HDMI to the dual HDMI adapter with a normal HDMI cable.
Each of the touch monitors has a separate USB-C to USB 3 Type-A cable through which the monitor is powered and it carries the touch data. Each monitor's USB connection goes to a separate USB hub so I don't overload them. One hub can't power both monitors.
It's really a very simple setup. These monitors are supposed to support single-cable USBC connection via USB 3.1 Gen 2 or better. I have a pair of USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 on my computer (one on motherboard, one on my RTX 2080). Neither of them seem to work for some reason. However, they do work single cable when connected to a laptop with Thunderbolt 3 ports. Odd. So my initial plan to connected them via a single USB-C cable didn't pan out, but this alternate setup works.
@@ottopilot6536 Okay, I'm also interested in doing what you have done. I drew out on paper a diagram of what I think you described. I see the USB3 Hub HDMI output to the touch panel HDMI input. And I see the USB-C to Type-A connection to the touch panel. So the USB3 Hub input and the touch panel USB-C to Type-A would be coming from / connected to where?
It just seems quite odd that this would work and NOT just the single USB-C cable connection the way the touch panel is described to function. Nonetheless, congrats on your setup. I sense you are motivation for a lot to follow in what you have done. Good Work!
@@DouglassFootball "It just seems quite odd that this would work and NOT just the single USB-C cable connection the way the touch panel is described to function. "
Yeah, I don't get it. I can't get either of those panels to function with a single USB-C from either my motherboard's USB-C nor the one on my RTX2080. Both are the correct generation to work. Yet the panels function as described on USB-C using my laptop's Thunderbolt 3 connection.
That said, my main monitor is an Acer Predator 3440x1440. It also is able to be drive by USB-C (but requiring external AC power), but it doesn't work at all with my desktop. Although it works with my laptop for some odd reason.
