UPDATE June 2022 - Air Vents and Gimbal Mount
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- A second PC for streaming, some air vents, labels, HUD Glass, floor mounted the VIRPIL Mongoose and made up some new wall art.
The flight was recorded from one of my livestreams, so the quality loss and stuttering is from Twitch encoding. It's smooth as butter in real life.
My wall mount for the 1/48 Tomcat is on Thingiverse - www.thingiverse.com/thing:540...

One thing I would love to see it for you to invite an actual A-10 pilot over to fly your sim and give feedback on how it compares to the real thing and how it compares to the military simulators he uses to train on.
going to be tough getting one out to australia
sooner or later this man is gonna have a whole jet engine on the back and wings
LOL
Not needed. Sooner or later this is the way we are gonna pilot real jets.
Imagine this guy piloting a plane in Ukraine from the comfort and safety of his seat at home.
@@sethback he 100% could control a drone from this.
He’s going to find himself literally flying an A10… it will be an oh S*** moment. That will be the pinnacle
Breaking News: A-10 spotted flying over Moscow
meanwhile on Stream
"Good Morning Lads, today we'll blow up some Commies"
I'm an A-10 maintainer, this looks similar my squadron's A-10 simulator. The guy that runs it says that it cost around 2 million dollars in government money, and yours looks just as good tbh.
It also has full warranty and maintained with needed upgrades on demand. This guy at home could do It under 10K with motion rig, VR and button boxes.
Been following this project for years, it's so amazing. Imagine this entire setup somehow on a motion rig, that would be perfection.
Motion rig gives wrong training for a fighter jet - in a turn you are pushed inside a seat, not lean on a shoulder.
@@VPopkins Not really, inertia works just as well in a Cessna as a jet fighter of course a lot more in fighter jets. The only way to simulate getting pushed into your seat is with a massive centrifuge, full motion simulators also simulate inertia so when you turn you get a bit of lean but it returns to level just like you would feel in the real thing no matter what aircraft.
@@vurplex3082 Correct, on my motion rig its programmed when I bank left, rig initially tilts with bank than tilts to the opposite to simulate inertia, and slowly returns to level. Its not perfect but its the best you can do on the ground lol.
Problem is the screens/projectors wont move with the cockpit so it would look weird
@@alzeal would be interesting to see your setup
That "face" vent looks like it chokes the flow, if possible it could be printed with a curved profile to smooth the transition when the "feet" vent is blocked. The angular face causes a turbulent spot and tanks the efficiency.
(I was CAD monkey for a ventilation company once).
👁👄👁🍿🍿🍿
I'm designing big hifi speakers (15" woofers with massive folder horns) and what you say is very true! Most speakers have circular bass ports for less friction.
When I worked at Boeing (St. Louis) we have a bunch of flight sims there and theirs is setup in a similar way except the projectors are 360 degrees and projected above your head too. In addition they had a super high res projection that was only 1-bit to show aircraft 10s of miles away. This was nearly 20 years ago but this reminds me of my time there, good work! I think they had like 7 GPUs at the time, it was fun.
Im thinking of building something like this on my own. Do you remember what resolution the projectors where?
Looks awesome. Love the wall decorations too. That Tomcat looks lush
WOW this is BONKERS! I'd be more than happy to play with that beauty you have! Cheers
It must be so disorientating when you turn it off and get out lol its just so immersive.
Love the Selfridge ANGB A-10 art. My local squadron!
this dude is living the dream
Great setup, and hope you enjoy for many years to come, thanks for flying with us.
Your ingenuity is amazing! I have been watching your videos for a long time and it never ceases to amaze me how many new things you devise, map out, and build to full functionality on this cockpit. Also like the way you are going about man caving the rest of the room… Good Work! 👍
Awesome simpit setup! I really like that you pay so much attention to the details! I do know a little bit about on how much work is involved in such a project. Great job!
Absolutely amazing. I admire your attention to detail.
You can hear that Buttkicker kicking. I love mine.
its coming along great! gosh i cant belive how fast time has gone by
THE DREAM COME TRUE
Absolutely insane build!
Got enough propeller fans now that it might just fly!
Great LARP box!
Gotta love those AAA trucks, they not only will help you with a flat tire but will provide anti-air support also.
lol
That mini keyboard is a yessssssss lol Nice setup. I have been keeping up with this project for some years now and I am amazed every time I see it.
This things going to start having a “cost per flight hour” stat pretty soon.
I see you've worked on your ball chiller
Man! you are really into American aircraft. Very cool.
Joy ride brought me joy!
Consider adding a x40 haptic vest to your kit. While flying on VR, the haptic vest gives a substitute for overload thanks to quite strong vibrations :)
This is the freaking coolest thing ever and now I'm going to piss off my wife by figuring out how to build one for my F-16
Love the attention to detail in this build, satisfies my OCD
massive effort.
I think I'm going to make my life mission to make one of these simulators, its well within the realm of reason and possibility. Long gone are the days where I can get behind the seat of an F18 =(
The vents are really nice idea. It really starts getting hot in my small room with few comptuers and total five displays. In any case, I would need to make a hole to outer wall for air intake (there's currently none), so perhaps I'll make some sort air duct straight to my cockpit and add a fan somewhere.
Yes a WortHog update video!!
I live in Nottingham Maryland, and near me is Martin State Airport where the 175th air national guard is stationed, a squadron of A10's. What I'm saying is, I get to see these flying a couple times a month.
In a nearby town, ABerdeen, they have Aberdeen proving grounds or APG where I imagine they'd run the Gatling gun if their training schedule required it. I've never heard the "BRRRRRT" however.
Man ur channel is amazing! I would love to see ur settup in star citizen, just for science :)
i like how you named a section liveleak lol
amazing
Hey everyone hope ur having a good day
One more upgrade - the entire room on the hydraulic actuators ;-)
Ok I'll ask.....Can I come over and have a go?
I’m just waiting for the day this guy comes on is like “ today I take possession of my surplus a10 and will begin porting it into DCS”
Nothing feels better than flying with G-force in a real plane, however I have many VR Flight Sims that I enjoy. The best Game I ever played was when I was stationed in Japan, Flying the 'After Burner', rolling ball cockpit was amazing.🍀
This is cool
Just to annoy a certain person, my wife still says no. lol
Do you think gun to your head you could go fly the real thing just based off your experience flying simulators? This is actually incredible, I just recently started watching a lot of different DCS stuff and it’s super fun to watch but this build is like basically military grade, fucking hell of a job man, really, you should be super proud of this.
Nice
I'm thinking about getting the a10 in dcs
cool set up. got bored watching but jealous of your sim. its f'ing awesome dude.
Any potential for seeing an overhead dome in the future? Keep up the incredible work!
You should go to jade tactical and buy a helmet and oxygen mask and get a scuba tank and regulator to make an obogs system. You can reference viper simmer, he did it well!
never noticed the nav and strobe lights before , just the same to my mig 15
Mate, you're totally mad, but in the best way. I can't help but think it's a shame that all your energy and ingenuity couldn't have been harnessed for some greater purpose. If it was 1942 I'm sure you'd somehow be saving the day. But such are the times we live in. Bloody awesome work though. Cheers.
you know - i tried to calibrate the fly elise software with jsut 2 projectors and this is hard as hell. In your case the blending looks perfect - congrats
don't bother with a mechanism to swap the air from face to feet, just wire a 2nd fan for the feet and switch between both. easier, cheaper and more reliable.
If you search the internet, sometimes you can find the projector bulbs by themselves instead of having to buy the whole module.
You ever think about making the screen go over the top too so you have full field of vision?
He is Aussie for sure.
I love the videos. It's made me want to build my own sim. Where did you get the layouts for the panels so you could replicate them? Do they have other aircraft? I would like to build an F/A 18
i couldn't imagine this setup having a hydraulic system so you can feel the turns and such
Just use VR and, button boxes, and 6 dof seat.
Hey! This looks really great, I love it. I have one question though: its not that possible to see in the video, but can you see above your plane? If no, how do you cope with it? I would dream to build something like that for the F-18 or F-16 but since I have to do some dogfighting I would not be able to play good without being able to look above (or behind) me.
my friend what software do you use for the projection warp? I am building a similar but much simpler home setup.
Thank you for your help.
I was trying to get a better look on the g meter. However it was super hard to see the hands in the dark. Is there a way to light up the hands a bit?
Progres on the f16- i have the entire center console down and some of the right side. Hope you have been doing good Warthog. I love ya man! (PS:Nice video i lovethe wall art)
What do you think of the Casio laser led hybrid projectors ? Pretty cheap second hand and the one I use for Playstation is fantastic and I don't have to worry about bulb life...
Couple of questions
How much power are you drawing when the sim is running?
Any plans to put a motion platform in?
What's the cost of running the sim?
Where are those prints from on your wall, look wicked. Cheers :)
Do the switches line up in vr? If it's 1 to 1 it would have to be close atleast.
My guy you need to look into building your own full motion cockpit it's possible to do
I have a quick question for you, are you able to use the JHMCS within the space of the screen somehow?
I wanna do this same thing but for the f16, where do if start
Question, can you upgrade the computer hardwar with faster processors or graphics cards easily or do you have to rework things to make it work with the cockpit?
benq just released 240hz projector at 2k (X1300i) the blur buster specs are pretty impressive they use LEDs also, 20k hour life so over 7 years projected use minimum. uses 4 LED colors RGB + B boost for vibrance 3000 not 3500 what you have atm tho.
Is it possible to configure the JHMCS in a setup like this without moving the screen along with it? or do you just choose to not use it in that case?
I'm quoting a similar project but for the F-16, and not having the helmet cue system would be a deal breaker haha
Are there any parts of the real thing that you would love to have for your sim but aren't available or too expensive to realistically add?
if vr got good enough would you swap out for say a quest 3 or 8k hdr 200fov pimax?
do you have any recommendations for switch boxes? I need more buttons for my flight sim
Do you have a link for the f14 and a10 wall art above the right side of the screen?
looks amazing! is there a way to use the HMCS found in the a10 using this setup? im assuming no due to the nature of having the game look forward as you move your eyes around the monitor
hes gonna buy an actual helmet with HMCS capability from the USAF and wear it
I remember when the room was empty. I kinda also remember that you had a wife and kid(s)?? Is that right? How do you manage sim/real life balance?
if you do use the HMD in the A-10, how?
How did you get rid of DCS communication menus that randomly pop up on a screen?
Do me a favor. Play one game called star citizen on this. Just to watch you launch from a hanger, zoom over some extraterestrial terrain and then just gun it up through the atmosphere and into space would be a pretty sweet sight.
is the is the original A10c module or the v2? If this is the v2 do you have a JHMD solution or do you just fly without?
Hey mate, hope all is well. I tried looking for the answer to this question on your channel so sorry if it's already been answered. I recently bought the Cougar MFD twin pack & now having some trouble finding inexpensive screens for each. I've found some 7 inch with mobo & HDMI & AC outs from China but they're all a little too wide. Just wondering what MFD screens behind those Cougars you used for your awesome rig? Regards Gaz
By the way where did you get your start up menue??
How did extend the flight stick..
Which CAMs & springs do you use in the CM2 base?
Hi, where do you get those green leds from?
How long until hydraulic mount and shaker?
it looks like with your setup you don't use HMCS at all. is this correct?
And I was proud of myself for removing my GTX 1080 and installing a new RTX 3070 for flight simming.....how did you learn how to do all of this?
Any idea how much the setup weighs?
Anyone know what game or sim he’s running?
How mutch that cost
How did you make the canopy bow
I guess plywood.
Out of interest, how much would this roughly weigh minus the screens, pc etc
I wonder why the AI doesn't react at all. They get killed from the sky, where is the panic, the despair?
It's all cool until you want to check your 6. How do you do that? VR is just cheaper and much better.

Do you think my wife knows what is going to happen eventually.. How you made it so?
Is it possible to make the screen taller? Ever thought about a dome style screen, that would be awesome.
I asked him that back when he built it but never got a response…
