Truly inspirational! Particularly impressed with the throttle quadrant swap out, to give you some aircraft type flexibility, just in a matter of seconds!! But of course what makes this so special is the incorporation of the actual Piper shell. A real work of art and labour of love .
A big HELLO from Canada. Your home set up is absolutely AMAZING!!!! The best I have ever seen for a home sim. I am currently building a 172 set up, modeled after the one seen from "On The Glide Slope". THANK YOU for posting and sharing this information. It is so HELPFUL to the rest of us "flight simmers" who are not as technically inclined. LOVE all your videos. I hope you can find time to post MORE. Two thumbs up.
This is why freedom is awesome. I've seen several sim setups and the regular people making setups for themselves outclass commercial simulators by entire leagues. Several of them have the potential to be put to use commercially if they make it easier to build. A bit of technology and a lot of passion is just incredible.
Thank you and absolutely. I flew brand new Level-D multimillion dollar sims and was surprised that they all have poor visuals. And general aviation setups are sometimes super expensive but not really that much attractive - the only thing missing with my setup is going the certification route than it would be a nice professional training sim. But maybe I sell it to a flight school one day to make space for new projects.
Thanks for the video. Truly a work of art and love! I am a private pilot, and I quit flying when my children were young. When I retired I would start flying again. A couple of years ago I had a stroke and might not be able to fly real airplanes. So I have had in mind building a sim much like yours. Many thanks for your ideas and I wish you the best!
If the medical is the problem I can assure you that building such a sim is maybe also very much rewarding as a substitute. Especially since the hobby bring so many fields of interest together that make it a journey of its own. Glad I could inspire you and all the best for your upcoming plans.
@@AlfredtwinSim yes the medical is the primary reason for not flying. It is a lot of money on a fixed income as well but I haven’t had the chance to fly. I worked as a communication engineer and worked with avionics so it would be fun to put mine together.
Nice to see someone singing the praises of force feedback. I use a custom ffb stick I made out of a old 40 dollar Microsoft ffb 2 stick and it's better than 500 dollar flight sticks. The flight sim world doesn't do enough to take advantage of this very amazing feature and people have no idea how much of a difference it makes when flying, especially a helicopter.
Actually I was not aware of this myself for a long time and the price did let me consider it even longer. But without it (it is the same for the shaker) I would not want to use it anymore.
@@AlfredtwinSim Can´t wait to see some videos of it... can´t be very far from reality anymore with the stunning visiuals and detail MS showed so far...
Eine wirklich großartige Arbeit. Ich habe mir schon viele Cockpits angeschaut, mehr Carsims als Flysims, aber so etwas wie das hier, habe ich noch nie gesehen. Großen Respekt vor deiner Arbeit !
Like to see Elite Dangerous on this lol. I love my Buttkicker Gamer 2 with DCS. The first time I used it I landed on the carrier with the F18. I had it turned up too much and when I hit the deck it knocked a picture off my wall. Firing the gun is insane also. Kobuleti taxi way is separated by cement sections and when I taxi you can feel the bumps between the sections.
Dude that's some AMAZING home cockpit !! What a good job you did !! Result is AWESOME !! I wish I could do it in my little home for my military Flight Sim :)
Matt Vegas I’m a real professional pilot with over 23.000 hours but don’t see any reason to mention it. In any case I love the display; very impressive and congratulations.
@@gerardosalazar161 Actually being not a pilot in real life (I think both hobbies would be too much for my family) it is good to hear that my setup does resemble what real world pilots see as realistic - even though I am more on the building side and never really learned all those lovely procedures and communication to the level it should be looking at the rig.
thanks, took me quite some time to plan this massive video and gather all the information that I thought would be useful for others. Glad you enjoy it!
I'm planning on making my own sim cockpit for DCS. I'm either gonna make an F/A-18 cockpit or F-16 cockpit. I've taken a lot of inspiration from Warthog Project's cockpit setup. I would make an A-10 cockpit, but I don't haven nearly enough familiarization with the platform.
Great vid - very professional with a really clear structure and descriptions. Very inspiring to consider projectors, as I have always discounted that as an option due to limited space - ausgezeichnet.
Yes, but it is also the drag from the extended gear and flaps. Once it is cleaned up and throttle and mixture not in the max it is soon pretty quiet. But maybe I can make the lift-of moment even more noticeable.
Nice build...the real cockpit shell is icing on the cake...congratulations on a beautiful flight sim airplane!!! Enjoy it and fly the wings off of it!!! My first sim was made of plywood and pvc poe over thirty five years ago and i was using fs 2 by Atari and. Commodore 64 back in the stone ages:)..the sim comp packs have come a long since then ( Microsoft fs..and X plane))...thanks for sharing!!! I use laptops and VR goggle now looking forward to the MS 2020 package but I love my old school sim pack too!!
Thanks for commenting and indeed, I can remember my Commodore 64 well and thus have a clear idea of the long way we have come. VR can be interesting I am sure. But for me the smell and touch of a cockpit to physically be there is a must and so the experience is a different one. But the future will bring new technology so let’s see where we are in 10 years from now.
Super awesome cockpit and great video! Loved the way you went through each part. I could only dream of someday having a cockpit half as good as what you've created. Nice work!
Well those are two quite different hobbies - for me owning this piece - especially being a father of a young family with sometimes not more than 30min breaks to make a flight - it would be impossible to go somewhere an spend half the day there for a short flight. So building a sim just makes me build a bigger sim (with a faster and more complex aircraft).
Honestly better than most 737 setups you see. Amazing work, I'm extremely jealous! Also what a great idea having the G1000s running on iPad, expensive but helps performance eh :)
Damn man, this is great work... My problem with such a project (space and money aside) is: once i started with getting such a cockpit, i´d need several rooms, because i´d need one for a 2-seater, single-seater (fighter), one for a truck, for a GT car and so on... because, you know, immersion :D Much respect and greetings from Berlin :)
Hallo aus Wien nach Berlin! And glad you like it. Actually I have more sims under the work and one is a Mini Cooper sim in a real mini shell of course... But same here, need space for it to grow and my wife is not cooperative any more beyond what I have conquered in the house until now😀
Hi, I have a similar setup, that I had running fine for 5 years now, triple Optoma GT1080. But the last time I had actually used it was back in December 2019, when I had to upgrade my failing dual sli 780Ti to a GTX 2070 super, and the set up was working fine after a recalibration and few tests. Unfortunately, life took a turn, and I didn't get a chance to use the pit until very recently, and I find that while my windows 10 and NVIDIA drivers are up to date, something in windows messed up the setup, so I can only project to one projector on the main channel, the other two projectors won't even beam a signal, although individually, I have tested them and they all work fine. Secondly, they are no longer recognized as projector, so when I use the software Simpit Warp (a fork of Fly-Elise), it doesn't see any projectors (0x0) so I cannot warp it to fit the screen. I'm wondering if if you know what build of windows or update wrecked this, so I can go back to the build before, as I was told that you should not allow automatic updates lol. TBH, it's rough trying to find information regarding setups like ours as we're like 1 percent of 1 percent of gamers or simmers. Any ideas would be very helpful! Thanks!
When switching in nvidea between desktop surround mode and separate mode windows loses in the beginning all other screens than main screen. It should be quickly possible to assign those again, but I do not have remember unfortunately the steps. If that is the sole problem now you might fix it quickly. Fly Elise runs w/o problems?
Excellent! Wenn Du jemals in Deutschland in die Gegend von Aachen kommst, fliege ich gerne eine Runde mit Dir. Leider kann ich lediglich PA-28 oder C172 bieten und habe auch keinen Zugriff auf eine Bonanza oder Baron (und für die Baron würde mir auch das MEP-Rating fehlen).
Actually yes, by the way I am moving to simracing/street drive simming… very difficult here to have a software that is customizable (views, etc) like flight simming
What an amazing home cockpit. I'm just starting to gather parts for my own build. The PFC throttle has me very intrigued due to the ability to swap out throttle types. Obviously it's very pricey though. I don't foresee flying airliners but I would like to have something 'realistic' for most GA aircraft and even some business jets. How difficult is the throttle to setup (is it 'plug and play' or does it require some setup in an app or programming)? Not much info out about it.
He Just need to increase the range of the projectors, there are two huge gaps, all the rest is awesome including the vibrations in the cabin very realistic
Thanks for the comment, but I do not completely get what you propose. Where do you encounter those gaps? I can not make the picture even bigger and from the pilot's perspective there are not gaps in sight.
That is beautiful and that you're married is awesome. If I came home with a shell I'd might as well stop at the divorce attorney's first... LOL. That said, I have a question and I guess I could look this up. Are the aural warnings about where the aircraft is on the airport and how much runway is left, etc. something with G1000 avionics? I'm a very low time, 35 years ago steam gauge guy and only attempted one intersection take off. It would have been nice to have that kind of informational feedback.
haha - yes it does need an understanding wife to build something like this! Sorry for answering that late - no it is not from the G1000, it is a runway awareness system (xRAAS - it is mentioned in the video at the end). A free add on - very handy to have.
Hi Alfred. Very impressive built. Awesome. Question though about your curved screen and projectors. I have read a couple of times that night flying with projector and curved screen supposedly sucks (washed out runway lights ...i guess blurry?) Not sure though how old these statements are and if technology has gotten better? What is your experience with night flying using projectors and curved screen? Couldn't find a video of yours where you do a night flight. Would be great to read your 2 cents on that. Thanks a lot !!!
Thanks. Indeed, I do not use night time since the areas where the 3 projectors join show increased brightness. I would physically need to fix something sideways to the projection lense to maybe reduce it. Saying that with this thing solved I would not see further problems and night in general looks not that bad.
Mirosoft needs to fix the side views. We need another direction movement to what I call Tow-in and Tow out. Notice this perfect simulator this Man made. However we still have the engines towed in so they are visable in the front windows.
Try some rubber feet isolation from the floor and that transducer needs a more secure four corner bolt and nut fastening to the frame. Over all outstanding job. I use a Buttkicker system on my racing sim to much "vibe" does kill the realism of the effect.
I have 4 rubber isolating plates (quite expensive stuff that is used in industrial setups), although difficult to tell how much shaking is reduced by using those. The transducer is fixed with 2 screws - are you sure it would make any difference in going for more fixing? Can do that of course - thank for the idea. Well I onced tried to make a startup with 100% vibration power, wow that felt pretty immersive, but as soon as I throttled up it was too much and as you said did not just kill the effect but also the cockpit interior.
Unreal... That power setup on the back is a little sketchy though lol, you should think about something like using Furhman rack mounted power conditioners, since you clearly have the money ;) lol
Amazing work man!! if I can get my adult children to move the hell out of my house I'm going to look at building one as well but I'll like use a VR headset instead for ultimate immersion.
Haha - that sounds like a plan. My pretty young children are one of the core reasons that I am not at the sim as often as I would like to be. But it is a hell of ride to build such a sim and highly rewarding.
Yes, surprisingly since moving to Xplane nothing failed at all, so it is just the software that did pose problems before. Hardware works without any issues...
Hi, thanks - sorry for commenting late. First thing is to change the 3d model of the default King Air in a 3D software and delete the front part of the cockpit that would be visible. Then it is configured as Virtual cockpit view and need some adaptions to work correctly with FlyElise warping - which does in xplane11 generate some view errors when using warped display with a VC.
Chapeau! Das ist eine der beeindruckendsten Arbeiten, die ich bei einem Homecockpit jemals gesehen habe. Dieser Enthusiasmus und die Liebe zum Detail sind beeindruckend und begeisternd zugleich. Schön dich gefunden zu haben. Was mich persönlich noch interessieren würde, wie hast Du den Raum abgesichert. War hier eine spezielle elektrische Absicherung/Verkabelung notwendig? Ich habe zB bei mir 16A für meinen kleinen Sim-Raum. Viele Grüße aus Kassel.
Danke! Ich hatte in meiner Wohnung damals immer wieder Probleme und wollte auf Nummer Sicher gehen. Vermutlich sollte aber eine entsprechende Absicherung reichen.
HimAöfred. Is there a,way of contacting you on something else than the Yt comments? I am about to entkamen a similar,project as the video above and would have a number of questions....
Hello @ Alfred twinSim! Great work! I wonder about real aviation intercom sl-400, do you need a Real Transceiver to make it work or you just pug the headsets and you can have intercom?
There is a usb sound card that lets you connect aviation headsets to pcs via usb. It is there where I have just plugged in the intercom. It should be stated in the video what I used!
Very nice setup buddy, very similar to mine. i used 2 projectors same as yours, and also Fly-Elise for calibration. A question, why did you not plaster the seams on the screen (drywall plaster) and then sand them and paint them, to eliminate the joints? Very nice indeed.
Thanks! I use 3 projectors. For permanently fixing drywall to the wall I need a backstructure, which would reduce visible diameter. Further more I have two sliding sides which could not be solved with drywall plates and mixing screen surfaces was not my desire.
WOW! Possibly the best home simulator I’ve ever seen.
then you havent seen the Warthog Project yet: ua-cam.com/channels/Jq3cq9N6xYF0fAvTgpwoBg.html

Thanks for the nice comment and glad it inspired you!
The rumble is great. But once airborne the vibrations are not that extreme even on a prop plane. You should tone it down a notch when aloft
Yes, but it is also the drag from the extended gear and flaps. Once it is cleaned up and throttle and mixture not in the max it is soon pretty quiet. But maybe I can make the lift-of moment even more noticeable.
Einfach eines der besten Homecockpits, die ich bislang gesehen habe. Würde zwei Daumen nach oben da lassen, wenn ich könnte ;D

You should visit the A10 Warthog project UA-cam channel. He uses a paint with aluminum particles that really makes a difference.
I know that project, it is awesome. Never thought about a new paint - but might consider it for the next King Air project I am designing.
Nice. Personally at that point I would rather fly the real thing. On the flip-side though, I Would still love to have that in my home!

I have 4 rubber isolating plates (quite expensive stuff that is used in industrial setups), although difficult to tell how much shaking is reduced by using those. The transducer is fixed with 2 screws - are you sure it would make any difference in going for more fixing? Can do that of course - thank for the idea. Well I onced tried to make a startup with 100% vibration power, wow that felt pretty immersive, but as soon as I throttled up it was too much and as you said did not just kill the effect but also the cockpit interior.
Thanks for sharing so,so lovely, can you please share to us the sizes and how the screen built please?
Should be all in the video section two
Unreal... That power setup on the back is a little sketchy though lol, you should think about something like using Furhman rack mounted power conditioners, since you clearly have the money ;) lol
Indeed, not super professional - but way better than my last sim:)
What to say, i am speechless!1 wish simulator ? Congrats on this simulator Alfred !
Amazing work man!! if I can get my adult children to move the hell out of my house I'm going to look at building one as well but I'll like use a VR headset instead for ultimate immersion.
Haha - that sounds like a plan. My pretty young children are one of the core reasons that I am not at the sim as often as I would like to be. But it is a hell of ride to build such a sim and highly rewarding.
Masterpiece
Simply fantastic
Great effort, but so many devices to fail... Anyway I’m impressed.
Yes, surprisingly since moving to Xplane nothing failed at all, so it is just the software that did pose problems before. Hardware works without any issues...
Hello great Homecokpit!!! I wanted to ask how you set the view with the wings on the left and right without the cockpit and panel
Hi, thanks - sorry for commenting late. First thing is to change the 3d model of the default King Air in a 3D software and delete the front part of the cockpit that would be visible. Then it is configured as Virtual cockpit view and need some adaptions to work correctly with FlyElise warping - which does in xplane11 generate some view errors when using warped display with a VC.
Alfred twinSim hello thanks for the answer, which software for the 3d model do you use?
Wow, very nice!! Love it.
Alfred !! SUPERB !!!
Wow, lovely!
Chapeau! Das ist eine der beeindruckendsten Arbeiten, die ich bei einem Homecockpit jemals gesehen habe. Dieser Enthusiasmus und die Liebe zum Detail sind beeindruckend und begeisternd zugleich. Schön dich gefunden zu haben.
Was mich persönlich noch interessieren würde, wie hast Du den Raum abgesichert. War hier eine spezielle elektrische Absicherung/Verkabelung notwendig? Ich habe zB bei mir 16A für meinen kleinen Sim-Raum.
Viele Grüße aus Kassel.
Danke! Ich hatte in meiner Wohnung damals immer wieder Probleme und wollte auf Nummer Sicher gehen. Vermutlich sollte aber eine entsprechende Absicherung reichen.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😳...I think I now understand what love is
Well Done
Thanks😀
Freaking Awesome!
wooow What amazing job!! you are a genious
HimAöfred. Is there a,way of contacting you on something else than the Yt comments? I am about to entkamen a similar,project as the video above and would have a number of questions....
Hello @
Alfred twinSim! Great work! I wonder about real aviation intercom sl-400, do you need a Real Transceiver to make it work or you just pug the headsets and you can have intercom?
There is a usb sound card that lets you connect aviation headsets to pcs via usb. It is there where I have just plugged in the intercom. It should be stated in the video what I used!
Wow! Absolutely stunning. Please give us the specification of your PC you use so many monitors., did you use two GPU?
Hi, I always just use one GPU. In this video I still had an older rig with a gtx1070 only and an i7. Now I have an i9 with a gtx2080ti.
I'd love to have a cockpit style setup for my Star wars X-wing series and others classics **sigh**
Then just build it, I guess that should be possible...
@@AlfredtwinSim Unfortunately I don't have the space
Very nice setup buddy, very similar to mine. i used 2 projectors same as yours, and also Fly-Elise for calibration. A question, why did you not plaster the seams on the screen (drywall plaster) and then sand them and paint them, to eliminate the joints? Very nice indeed.
Thanks! I use 3 projectors. For permanently fixing drywall to the wall I need a backstructure, which would reduce visible diameter. Further more I have two sliding sides which could not be solved with drywall plates and mixing screen surfaces was not my desire.
