Absolutely fantastic! When I was a little boy I used to build aeroplane cockpits out of cardboard boxes, drawed gauges insde and sat in them and imagined to fly around in them. This hardwarecockpit together with the graphics of MSFS 2020 woule be dream come true. Greets from Bavaria/Germany.
After final flaps are retracted call for the after takeoff checklist. Auto skid to OFF, gear handle should be in the center position (off) to relieve hydraulic pressure, packs auto, bleeds on, igniters to auto (cont for TO and landing, as well as icing and heavy precipitation) Nice sim! Some of the catering trucks need to be reported for not giving way! Also, roll the HDG bug to match after every course change. That way it will fly present heading if your flight director fails, and arm the auto throttle at the gate after you load the FMC and enter the ambient temps etc…
I've always had questions about arming the auto-throttle at the gate. I've heard its pretty standard procedure but something I thought out, and have concerns about, is accidently triggering TO/GA while on the ground, especially in close proximity to the airplanes or terminal. Its always been something I thought about. I would be curious to hear any other opinions on that matter or if any airlines have a specific reason why they do it at the gate.
@@henryjessel7321 in order to engage TOGA you have to purposefully hit it. The design is such that you aren’t going to accidentally engage it. However, if you did it would be embarrassing but easily remedied as your hands would be on the throttle. A quick click of the auto throttle disconnect… problem solved. So don’t worry, just set up LNAV/VNAV and arm the Auto Throttle. Happy flying!
@@pilotx8358 True that! Yeah I'm just thinking of one of those like perfect scenarios where someone is taking their hands of the throttle and their hand strikes the button, and just doesn't process it in time. But at the same time, that's kinda on the pilot for not picking something if that magnitude up. Actually funny you bring up LNAV/VNAV too because I always arm those at the gate but I recently started training on a Level 5 FTD and their SOP is to not arm LNAV until 400' AGL and VNAV at 1000' AGL. We've brought up changing it but I thought that was really interesting way of running things.
@@henryjessel7321 in order to engage it’s a very purposeful movement. You depress it with your middle finger, pressing downward while you hand is resting on the throttles. In almost 20 yrs of flying the 737 I have never even come close to that scenario… nor heard of it ever happening. However, your concern is valid. The Atlas 767 that went down enroute to Houston was due to accidentally engaging TOGA. Apparently the switches are located under the throttles and are a pull type of engagement. The FO called for flaps and the Capt had to reach under the FOs hand as it was blocking the flap handle. In doing so the Capt bumped the switch in an upward fashion, engaging TOGA. Unfortunately, the report states that the flying pilot over corrected and put the plane on a 13 degree pitch down attitude, while keeping the throttles at TOGA. The plane quickly accelerated beyond a recoverable airspeed. So… your concern is quite valid, but the 737 design is very different from the 767.
Thank you. That was my intentions but absolutely no one agrees with the camera moving with my head as I would in person. Going forward I will be better and focus on one spot for an extended period of time. Thanks for the kind words.
What an amazing setup!! I'm super jealous. Here you are with a full home simulator, enjoying MSFS2020 and I'm laying in bed, playing the game on my PC with an Xbox controller lol. Fantastic job, building this simulator.
What I don't understand is that people spend huge effort financial and physical to built these things but then completelyt uninterested on how to properly fly these. No callouts, no checklists, no flows, no standard operating procedures? What's the point? Isn't that what's most important - being good at what you do?
It was a test flight and the systems were not installed at that time. I think we are competent enough to fly this thing. Of course we use checklists and follow the correct flows per our SOP, Delta to be exact 😏. Maybe next time watch our world flight team then you have the right to criticize and or critique us. flywithrookie.com/worldflight/
BINGO !!!!! I have a very nice sim ($10kish) and I do checklist, and keep a very sterile cockpit below 10,000 ft. I try soooooo hard to run it “by the book”.
Years ago our sim instructor was P1 on Fokker 50 sim. and he crashed the simulator. Strange way it shocked me. Even if i got bored flying a sim now i always want to go back and land and not just pause and stop. Just doesn't feel right. Mental path is take off, fly then land.
Sack the camera operator, ask someone that is interested in aviation to do it. A major point of creating such a simulation is to involve the operator and observers. Much of this video was spent looking out the window, (I still don't know what the taxi speed was, as I never got to see the gauges during taxi) At least, back up a bit for an overview occasionally, and keep the view steady for a moment. A great achievement, to say the least, presentation here seriously lets it down.
aside from the fact he didn't set the V-speeds in the FMC and his autothrottle didn't appear to be engaged it as an amazing takeoff and well handled on the yolk
this is as close to an actual engineering flight simulator for pilot training as you are going to get . does the cabin bank as you turn? not sure if it is just the camera or the sheer size of the screen, but it looks like it, even just watching it
Hey there. Great home cockpit! I also use MFS20 and I was wondering how you get the windshield view like that? I've been looking for the answer for so long.
I am sure you have been contacted by production agencies to use the sim for in cockpit shots and ecreations? If not I'm sure you will be, I am building a semi enclosed scale Lancair evolution sim for a client and I thought my project was tough, this absolutely takes the cake, well done.
Wow Amazing, i always fly X Plane 11 soon X Plane 12. and MSFS 2020 on my gaming Laptop. With this professional Simulator yoì can earn much money and brings many fun. As real as it gets. Congratualtions and many greetings from germany

We have GoPros but they aren’t installed yet. We’re still working on the sim. Once the sim is 100% complete we will go live with some pretty good views I’m hoping 😆.
@@FlyWithRookie I got quarantined, which is a good thing since my only free time is sleep time and 2-3 hours on the weekend. I finally have some time! Glad your still doing the sim, it’s really entertaining and I’m sure you’ll have a great turnout if you decide to stream any time soon
Thanks for the kind words 🤗 Specs can be found on my website 😁. Will be building a new PC after the new year as well. I will update the site accordingly. flywithrookie.com/
May I aks how you set the zoom levels for a realistic depth of view? MSFS doesn´t use FOV like most simulators, and I never found some chart, table or conversion for the FOV/Zoom levels.
I could only dream of having a setup tell me what projector did u use am converting a roomo for this at present and underdecided as to waht projectors I have heard the warping can be a nightmare to setup
Great job. That noticeable projector blend because of FlyElise setup or MSFS lack of multiscreen support? Also looked on your site, you have 3 high end 3090 gaming PCs. How do you distribute software \ load among them?
How have you managed to un-dock the flightdeck, just giving you the outside views? As I understand it MSFS2020 hasn't yet allowed this to be done. I would be interested in how you've managed it.
Just read previous comments and see you are using Prosim 737. But I was just enquiring about software regarding graphics. Would it be Prepar 3D with add-on airports etc? Congratulations on your accomplishment.
I'd say an easy $15-20k. Price is mostly irrelevant considering this is more a hobby and to you what may seem expensive is not really expensive for this person as this is their hobby / pride and joy.

If you're planning to build a glass cockpit, it's gonna cost easliy around the 40k mark. That's including cockpit shell, avionics, yokes, throttle system, overhead panel, 2 seats, wiring, 2 or 3 computers running the components, projector screens. But also if you want motion or rumble effects that's another 10 k on top. Enjoy 😉

That is amazing full cockpit how did it take build how for me to buy look’s good I just have a 50 inch tv I like flying in the dark no lights on room dark light from phone but you are living the dream 10/10
Oh ya once we live stream you will hear all the pilots using real world aviation headsets which are already installed in the sim and you will hear ATC.
Completely understand my friend. If you’re over 18 and close to SoCal shoot me a message. I’d be more than happy to let you fly a leg or two in the sim. If you want to get even more access to the sim check my website maybe you will be interested in joining our world flight team flywithrookie.com/

Taxi speed doesn't show on the instruments. 45 knots is the minimum speed. Below 45 knots, it doesn't show your speed.
