Outstanding. Shared this to my dad. 85yo Retired pilot but still rocking the sims. He would love this.
Thanks!! Greetings to your father!!
Very nice! Well done, that looked like a lot of hard work and many hours of dedication. You have the beginning of a cool product there my friend!
Thank you!!, the beginning?? no no no.. this is over, it's time to fly !! :)
Man this is so freakin impressive. Thanks for sharing all of the effort that you put into this. I work in software but whenever they make regular-ass workstations look like this, I'm so down.
That´s awesome. Probably countless hours of work but what an outcome. Fantastic!
Thanks!!!!, yes, some hours without sleep. :)
OMG the hours dedicated to this must have been huge..Outstanding!!
Not bad. Great idea making it somewhat convertible between various aircraft.......smart move.
Wow, very cool cockpit!👍
A massive amount of time and work. Congrats
Looks great!!
Super work 👍 Congratulations
I am beyond impressed! Just wow!
This thing is absolutely amazing! I hope that making a spare F-16 UFC with Dobber won't be too terrible as you can REALLY get away with a lot with what you currently have going (or maybe it's just easier to make something on your HOTAS be the dobber haha)
Man congratulations what a fantastic build ....a lot of work has gone in to making all of this .... 💪
Thank you!!!.
I saw your channel. I also made a sport wheel with and small LCD on it, using the same STM32 micro. Perhaps I´ll show it in a future video. 😁
@foxbatbat2521 nice one...have evolved since. But haven't made a new video in 2 years. However will return. Building a 6DOF as we speak.
Amazing. Suddenly VR looks cheap and easy.
woaohhh, just woaohhh. Nice job. A lot of work, ufff
Thats impressive! Congrats!
Your dedication is off the chain.
Thanks!!!!!!!!
Amazing! Great idea
Holy f*ck. It's amazing that there are people capable of doing this. Congratulations!
Hello from France. Very very nice job. Impressive
Wow that's impressive!
Awesome set up, I am jealous!
Ha,ha..Thanks, take some ideas.
Nice setup
🎉❤ excellent work
Very well done.
This is honestly amazing GG
Nice work!! Good to see other crazy people doing the same...
I export the three MFDs, the IFEI with DCS export funtion and the five gauges exported by Helios on the big second screen and I use a third 7" screen on top for the UFC.
My F18 cockpit is seperated in 4 segments. center dash, left and right panels and the ejection seat.
All buttons, switches, magnetic held switches, additional gauges, warning lights are working.
it took years to get all the necessary parts. The "bleed air" 4 position switch is a good example. I took it from an old oven...
I need to rebuild my UFC because I did a dirty soldering job three years ago. Sometimes my button 3 is not working :-D
The top cover is already 3d printed and cnc milled.
Only the canopy release handle, the KY58 panel, the generator tie switch and the hidden nuclear switch is missing.
And I think about to rebuild the whole cockpit frame.
Thank you!!!.
Where can we see your cockpit ? It would be great to see it and get ideas.
@@foxbatbat2521 I can send some pics. My helios exported gauges have a much lower framerate than yours I can see :-D Sometimes 3fps only. Maybe a newer version will fix this
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Setup especialy for various Aircraft. Well done Mate and very good Idea. I still stick with my VR Setup. But when i have the place i wanna build also a cockpit with changeable Setups.
Thanks!!. When I have the money I will try VR :)
with your setup wait a few years till real good pass through technology exist. Would be a pity to not see your awesome cockpit inside VR @@foxbatbat2521
Interesting possibilities with one of the new mixed reality VR headsets to combine more physical controls into the sim
Very impressive!
Really cool. Heads up for anyone looking at this stuff on high end DCS hardware and desiring 60+ fps locked: DCS-BIOS introduces substantial stutters where your average FPS can be 120, but your .1% lows will be 55 and it will be consistentely every few seconds. Maybe with lightning fast (DDR5) RAM on the best possible CPU things change, but that was my experience with 5950x 3200 DDR4 RAM and an RTX 4090.
Wow, I didn't know about that DCS-BIOS problem.
Brilliant. 10/10.
That's coolio! Sign me up!
wonderful!
Awesome!..🙀
Impressive!😮
do you plan on sharing the 3D models? I'd like to make PCBs and clean up the wires.
You could take my hard earned cash if that ever goes into production... What a great job!
Give me the money!!!!!!!!! :) :)
Very impressive, especially with how thin you got all the panels so they aren't raised far from the monitor display. I've been wanting to build my own MFDs similar to these so I can swap out different styles for F/A-18, AH-64, and JF-17 but I keep procrastinating at the thought of doing all the wiring in a compact way.
How did you connect all of the 90 buttons to the STM32 with it's limited GPIO pins? Did you use a set of I/O expanders, or a resistor ladder wiring, or a button matrix? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you!!
Yes, you got it. You have to make a button matrix. You can see how to do it in the Freejoy project web. github.com/FreeJoy-Team/FreeJoyWiki
And yes, I know what are you saying. it´s hard to do all the wiring: cutting wires, soldering wires, making the path for the wires, don't get confused making the matrix..... It would be better making a PCB for each MFD, but in that moment I didn´t know how to do it.
Come on. Start it now!!!😉
Brooo DCS is getting so much attention right now.
Wouldn't be even able to say this like 6 years ago
6 years ago, we could "only" fly the A10.
Nice
impressive;)what kind of button is used here?
Wow 😎🔥🥃
That's pretty neat, nice how you can configure the gauges or warning lights. What software are you using to place the gauges in that configurator?
Thank you!!. Helios Virtual Cockpit. github.com/HeliosVirtualCockpit/Helios/releases
You can start with the free profiles of CaptZeen and then modify them as you like. www.captzeen.com/helios/index.asp
In the user files of DCS, you have a little description of how Helios works.

art! you put me on this path! just did my first night test in vr and quest 3 mixed rerality , uploaded a short for yah pleasure =p
Why VR… you can’t see anything 😅.
@@haackhaack4217 haha mixed reality with quest 3 has been pretty good to me aha I uploaded a couple shorts, now I wanna see my set up on VR lol
It's the future, best of both worlds. Have been trialling it myself for some time, just too hot for VR at this time (northern Australia).
Really nice! Would you share the 3D print files?
"what do we do now?" "What do you mean? We can finally play the game"
Where's the actual overview? This is like a montage of a montage of the thing (with terrible music ngl) ;;) It looks REALLY COOL for sure.
Very impressive 👍 I do have an idea how much work went into this because I built something similar.
Thanks !!. I just seen your work. Amazing, well done.
Ha,ha we have the same "emergency stop".
@@foxbatbat2521 haha great 😁 Little one loves to punch that one a lot 😜
Dios que pasada, que envidia. Algún día harás video tutorial o lanzaras los planos?
Gracias hombre. ¿Video tutorial? no que me muero. :) De todas maneras estoy abierto a responder a cualquier duda que os surja. Los videos están hechos para que al que le guste, coja ideas y lo aplique a lo que esté haciendo.
Y con respecto a planos, muchos lo preguntáis, pero no tiene sentido compartirlos ya que el main panel por ejemplo está hecho para unas medidas concretas del TFT, todo ajusta todo a esas medidas.
At beginning i thought its half winwing half self made but then i realized most is selfmade or from somewhere else if u did it by urself i have to say u did really good job, also if u coukd share if any of these parts except ufc and mfds are avaible it would help building my cockpit
Thank you for your nice comment.
Sorry, I can't share the pieces because I designed them for specific measurements, and once printed, they were modified to fit (I'm not a professional designer, :) ). So if I share them, I need to redesign them better.
I'll think about it anyway.
@@foxbatbat2521 oh, soo u have made everything because ik spme knobs and switches are avaible on internet and all of that looks really nice
this is what a want eventually any plans?
Hello, this is a very cool setup!
I use a 20" touch monitor with helios but i think it could be the next step of immersion with real buttons and switches.
Can you tell me the size and resolution of the monitor to get an idea of the dimensions instead of my 20" touch monitor?
Is it an old monitor where you removed the case?
Thanks!!!.
It´s a 19" TFT monitor. 1366x768 resolution VGA. I think 19", 20" it´s a good size for this project, with a smaller monitor you can´t add all the instruments panel, and with a biggest one you will have to rise the main monitor and it´s not comfortable for an aerial combat mission :)
Yes, I removed the case. (the monitor´s back isn´t so pretty).
"Alright Wonka, how much for the Goose?"
so legit!
what sorcery is this?
Amazing job mate, how much did it cost all included
Thanks!. It basically takes hours. The monitor is recycled and all parts are 3D printed. only buttons, cables and switches were purchased.
now with vr and hand passtrough
This is really cool. Too bad you wouldn’t see much of it if you’re using VR
Excelente trabajo Foxbat!! llevo bastante tiempo tratando de hacer exactamente esto... vas a publicar archivos en o planos en algún sisito? Muchas gracias.
Gracias!!! Pues la verdad no, está hecho para una medidas muy concretas del monitor tft. No descarto en un futuro hacer algo genérico que se pueda montar en cualquier tipo de monitor. Stay tuned!!! 😜
@@foxbatbat2521 yo estoy armando el mio con un monitor Samsung de 24 pulgadas... Espero terminarlo algún día.
Paciencia!!!, a ver si lo vemos cuando lo termines. Espero que hayas cogido alguna idea del mío 😜
very good job !!!! Is the freejoy software and firmware still supported ? I am very interested to use this awesome and shippest solution
Thanks!! The freejoy project GitHub has little activity, the latest version is from January 22, but it still works fine. In fact I´m working with an older version.
Can you list models of parts like mfd displays, ufc small displays and mfd/ucf buttons :)?
Sure, I will.
@@foxbatbat2521keen for that 👀
Hola.
En donde se puede encargar este meavilloso producto ?
Pues no se puede encargar. Solo hay uno. 😜
@@foxbatbat2521 Maestro, haz la patente de eso y busca algún inversor antes que los chinos te roben la idea.
Hola, si no hiciste la patente , podrías compartirme como crear o imprimir en 3d .
Quiero armarme desde creo uno igual al tuyo .
Ahora haz la del F-5
Si lo volase, sin dudarlo.
That is such a mismash of commercial and hand crafted items. But very unique.
I have the full WinWing set up with the MIP, F-16 throttle, F-16 MFSSB Joystick and the PTO 2. Instant Cockpit!
Can I buy it ?
Sorry, no. It's DIY.
How can I get one?
DIY . This is the one and only.
😭
Franchement cela n'est pas concluant pour moi, vous ne pouvez voir votre écran correctement et les écrans ne bougent pas avec l'avion et restent immobiles, c'est assez mauvais je trouve
Ok, ne t'inquiète pas, tu as raison, je vais le détruire. je ne le referai pas
@@foxbatbat2521 Et franchement tu as beau ironiser...le concept est super mal fait effectivement., Tu as un simulacre d'instruments en face de toi "immobile" et un cockpit a l'écran qui lui forcément n'est pas immobile, et du coup c'est absurde. Comme quoi acheter des trucs comme toi pour une expérience aussi mauvaise est contre-productif. .
Merci, vous m'avez ouvert les yeux. Je l'ai déjà jeté à la poubelle. Maintenant, je vais me consacrer à la pêche. @@tenevas666 🙋
@@foxbatbat2521 Non vous allez avoir la encore des idées absurdes aussi, non ne faites plutôt rien....reposez-vous, et surtout plus de simulateur aussi absurde
and once again parts from Aliexpress the largest online crook of technical parts for DCS
I had to give thumbs up right away for the title " Cockpit Desk Main Panel ". Search friendly, straight to the point and as 2024 inclusive as a Cock pit can be. I'm not even a subscriber.
Thanks for your comment!!!
It looks like you guys are soon going to need actual "aircraft maintainers" on stand-by for when sim drivers have a down gripe with their high fidelity rigs, wiring shorts and bent equipment.
Longshot and Growling SIdewinder in DCS, sitting virtual QRF; getting a bogey alert and launch order: "Hey Growling hold clear of the runway, I've got a Master Caution for the seat ejection system that isn't getting solved with breaker resets... going to have to get someone IRL out here to pop some panels. You are going to be 1 v 1 against this guy."
Growling Sidewinder: "Check the limit switches under your seat... I had a flaming hot cheeto jammed in one of mine last week."
Longshot: "I'll be a sonnova' bitch... mine is a chunk of toasted everything, bagel." (plucks out and tossed) "Master Caution is now off. Nice! Pulling chocks and brakes off... let's go get that guy!"

Great work Eagle Dynamics!
