You, Sir, are the most serious flight sim enthusiast I've ever come across. Well done. If someone were to replicate your work to the last detail, how much money would I expect to spend?
VR is great but it still missing notepad. I really like how you punched in all that data using info written down on paper. ED needs to implement simple cratch down or notepad. Awsome cockpit!
Nice work. This was already an amazing looking and functional sim, but those little details are just mind boggling. Amazing what our lockdowns and more time at home can do for a project like this. :)
This is an awesome set up. I've mentioned before on the few times I've watched your videos, that when I was in the U.S. Air Force way back in the late 1970s, that I was an Analog Flight Simulator Repair Technician. Tubes and servos, and NOTHING like what you have here. The Air Force would have, back then, looked at what you were doing as some sort of black magic! LOL One day, when I get some money, and a better place to live, I want to do basically what you've done here, except I want to do with for General Aviation, something like a Piper Malibu. With MSFS 2020, and G1000 displays and other flight sim stuff out today, I could probably make a realistic Piper Malibu cockpit. I don't know if it would be nearly as accurate as what you've done here, but it might be fun. I appreciate the work you've put into this, you've done such an amazing job, and I wonder if there are any Hog pilots who watch this.
Bill Rundell Col Red Devils here at Selfridge, Michigan USA... I know him, he's the one who shot the Cow... your cockpit is nicer than the one I flew at the Red Devils training center. Love your work... any thoughts of exports???
So no word on solutions for the head mounted cueing system? I feel like ED should add some code to allow a trackIR headset to work as the head mount director to get your rig to 100% functionality. Your work HAS to be a feather in their cap. The ability to make so awesome a simpit based around their game! Adding some functions for builds like yours just seems like something they missed along the way. As always, your rig is AMAZING!!! Cudos for the incredible job you've done. My question is, when does work on the rest of the plane begin?
Cheers! I jump in random servers all the time, but mostly Hoggit GAW just because it's the only one I've found where most people actually talk on SRS. And I love the web portal GCI.
What are those cheap 4k cameras? Are you still using those for your streams? Didn't see them listed on your website but maybe I missed it somewhere, there's so many out there but I don't know which ones are good or not.
ever thought of using stretchy white fabric to make a half dome overhead 'screen' to add another projector at 45 degree up angle? I'm thinking that kind of fabric that leggings are made from.
As I'm using roof mounted projectors I can have anything covering the top as it would block them. It could be done, but only with a total redesign and not in a room as small as mine. Maybe one day if I move house...
That is just incredible! how many hours in the Simpit and how many hours actual flying? Also you seem to be some kind of electrical engineer or something, that is quite something to chew on!
@@thewarthogproject That inspires me, I have an electronics degree and certified Microsoft in I don't know how many things. I am retired now so this is making me think, but my wife has a lot of influence too, and not looking good, lol!
You really have a great deal of knowledge on making sims. Where did you learn how to do this, are you an engineer or work in the sim industry? I’ve been looking at trying to build a cockpit that can used for multiple aircraft. My initial thoughts are building a all touch screen cockpit including the side panels. This way I could graphically overlay everything from a P-51 to a F-35. Nothing beats the true full sim with switches, buttons etc….. but It would be nice to be able to switch between platforms.
I just enjoy building things I guess. I take long breaks when I need to as well. If I had more room in my house, I'd have multiple cockpits. I'd love to do a larger screen and a dual seat tomcat. Maybe one day...
Unfortunately not. ED has implemented that as a overlay over the main viewport, not a viewport itself. I could use it if i went back to use trackir, but I figured that sort of defeats the purpose of having such a huge screen. I play with it in VR sometimes though.
It's a complicated answer, but they each have pros and cons and I enjoy them both. If you just want to fly DCS, I'd go VR any day. But if you enjoy designing and making stuff in your shed, I'd build a cockpit. That's my actual hobby...
Mostly I don't, because I'm in a hog and if I'm dogfighting I've made some poor tactical decisions! But for looking further around I have snap views set up on the stick. It's just the trim hat, and it changes views only while holding the paddle switch as a modifier.
When a home flight simulator is better than some country's military trainings
@Greenish Man Well the US is training A-10 pilots with VR headsets and a basic thrustmaster HOTAS soo... the US? lol
@@flighttherapybullisticfpv133 😂
"You're all clear kid now let's blow this thing and go home"
Man I'm sooo many shades of green with envy over your simpit
By far one of the most amazing sim builds. The amount of money and effort put into this project is phenomenal. Nice work mate.
Shhh my wife might read this. It's actually not that much money! Thanks mate!
Every one of these videos ends up costing me money, and I get never closer to this brilliant setup.
Legendary sim build! Of my absolute favorite military aircraft too!
This is so rad! Love it!
You, Sir, are the most serious flight sim enthusiast I've ever come across. Well done. If someone were to replicate your work to the last detail, how much money would I expect to spend?
All the money
In a video he went in detail of what he all did.
I think it was 4400 Australian, which is like 2200 usd. At the time at least.
keep the green! too much gray is toooooooo much graaaaaaaaay! keep the contrast! i love it as is!
Noted!
VR is great but it still missing notepad. I really like how you punched in all that data using info written down on paper. ED needs to implement simple cratch down or notepad. Awsome cockpit!
Yeah I forgot how easy it makes life just being able to write stuff down or read the manual!
Nice work. This was already an amazing looking and functional sim, but those little details are just mind boggling.
Amazing what our lockdowns and more time at home can do for a project like this. :)
Haha fixed my typos and lost the love. Good on ya YT 🤣
The green paint is so much better than that dull gray!! Don't go back to gray!!
that ending of crashes was so awesome, cheers!
This is so cool! I cant imagine how much work and time you put into making this sim
Thanks mate! A lot!

Thanks mate! There are certainly some real Hog guys who watch, I've had some reach out with help along the way.
Your setup is crazy!!!
Thanks for the raid the other day btw!
Every time I watch one of your videos = 🤯
Your “flight data recorder”/camera switcher is genius. What an amazing idea.
Bill Rundell Col Red Devils here at Selfridge, Michigan USA... I know him, he's the one who shot the Cow... your cockpit is nicer than the one I flew at the Red Devils training center. Love your work... any thoughts of exports???
Amazing setup!!!
Fair dinkum mate, this is the shits! I play DCS in VR and love it but one of these in my house I’d never go out :)
oh wow! this is so amazing!!
Hardcore I love it!
what a beauty, ADF need to see this mate
Sweet setup
5:57 Note: Those are canopy breaker tools, not knives.
That's not a knife.... this is a knife!
One day he will rebuild the whole A10 in his room

YOU MAD GENIUS!!! You are a HERO!
that note pad bit at the end was gold.
I wanna go to his house and play with his toys. lol
your kid is ice cold. XD
Spends 10 years making the perfect sim pit... ED updates to an HMD.. D'OH!
As long he has "monitors" to every windows the real cockpit would have. His one is better.
if this dude asks for a dogfight *RUN*
Awesome pit! Mine's based off the Dimebug's plans but I'll use your HUD. Do you plan to install a canopy bow?
Sure do. It's on now, and it's a game changer. Next update video will be all canopy bow!
Paint the walls green, problem solved.
Bro! With every video… still extremely jealous of your setup! Haha. Also, what server do you normally run on?
Cheers! I jump in random servers all the time, but mostly Hoggit GAW just because it's the only one I've found where most people actually talk on SRS. And I love the web portal GCI.
@@thewarthogproject ahhh you must be on that good interwebs hahaha
Are you saying "ROFL" when you fire off your missiles? 😂
Your Cockpit is absoulut fantastic!
Are you planning on adding a canopy?

A great sim build. Are you using a snap view to check six?
Sure am. TrackIR can be used on the screen, but it makes me nausiated so i dont use it
dude out of all the things, why didnt u make urself an ejection seat too??? literally unplayable
How do you turn and look behind you?
Do you use TrackIR?
Do you stream on twitch?
That is just incredible! how many hours in the Simpit and how many hours actual flying? Also you seem to be some kind of electrical engineer or something, that is quite something to chew on!
Many many more hours in the garage building than actually flying it. And I'm no engineer, I've only ever attended the university of UA-cam and forums!
@@thewarthogproject That inspires me, I have an electronics degree and certified Microsoft in I don't know how many things. I am retired now so this is making me think, but my wife has a lot of influence too, and not looking good, lol!
Did you create this missions or did you download it?
Any plans to mount the whole system on gimble and add haptics etc ?

Check out "Helios" - it might be able to do exactly what you want.
What simulation program is that?
How do u maintain the passion to keep doing ur project?
Personally i would like to see an apache gunship cockpit!
I just enjoy building things I guess. I take long breaks when I need to as well. If I had more room in my house, I'd have multiple cockpits. I'd love to do a larger screen and a dual seat tomcat. Maybe one day...
Can you implement the HMCS?
Unfortunately not. ED has implemented that as a overlay over the main viewport, not a viewport itself. I could use it if i went back to use trackir, but I figured that sort of defeats the purpose of having such a huge screen. I play with it in VR sometimes though.
How much better is it to do it this way instead of VR?
He does both. I think he had a video talking about the differences.
It's a complicated answer, but they each have pros and cons and I enjoy them both. If you just want to fly DCS, I'd go VR any day. But if you enjoy designing and making stuff in your shed, I'd build a cockpit. That's my actual hobby...
Awesome 45 min A-10 “Walk around” video:
ua-cam.com/video/EXgTrpPU9Rk/v-deo.html
how do you dogfight?
Mostly I don't, because I'm in a hog and if I'm dogfighting I've made some poor tactical decisions! But for looking further around I have snap views set up on the stick. It's just the trim hat, and it changes views only while holding the paddle switch as a modifier.
Do you have a buttkicker gamer 2 on this?
Sure do. Mounted in the seat, and on a separate sound card using simshaker software.
@@thewarthogproject well to late I sent it back ,
as soon as I heard the uncalled for words of profanity at the beginning of this video, I went to another UA-cam video..
I bet you are fun at parties
This is so sick! Awesome!
