Thanks, glad you enjoyed it... flightsimdiy.com is working on a G3000 and a better GTC than the one I built. Their discord has all the info if the website doesn't.

It's more fun sometimes to dig them up from far and away LOL.. besides, everyone should have atleast a 100 300ohm resistors laying around..

E-Bay does seem to be the winner for the easiest place to get parts from. Amazon is a close second for things like resistors and other common parts.

I take it you didn't watch the whole video or don't understand the concept of creating a realistic 1:1 view within a sim when building realistic to scale hardware. But thanks for the comment anyways, it helps the algorithm either way 😎👍

Google... 10.4 in VS104T-004A 1024x768 600nit IPS LCD Screen HDMI USB LCD Controller Board Avaliable everywhere. Amazon price has gone way up here in acanada for me. But E-bay links have it for under 100 bucks. Thanks for watching 👀 👍

You can get them from Flight Sim DIY

I swapped out from the 40-inch HD in the video to a 43-inch 4k, and wow, what a difference that made. From what I've read, 65-inch 4k is just about the perfect size if you can get the right eyepoint distance. Thanks for watching 👀

I swapped the 40HD in the video to a 43inch 4k just before Christmas. Agreed, completely hooked.

@@thesimproject73 What about refresh rate? Minimum recommendation?

Even with up sizing, you still end up with the same field of view. When you place the screen, the correct distance from your eye and zoom level. Which is required of you're trying to get a real-world view. Which was the force if the video. If you don't care about a realistic view, then sure, ultrawide works better.

@@thesimproject73 Maybe I misunderstood...? On a 40" 21:9, assuming same vertical height, same FOV and same distance away, you would simply gain additional visibility to your left/right sides compared to a 32" 16:9 screen. Exactly as shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGGbl4Clpdp3q8U As your eyes tend to be central to the display, the extra bits on both sides would count as extra 'peripheral info' that you're likely not directly focused on, similar to real life. This, combined with a Tobii head tracker, which maintains the center of your vision no matter where you look, is the best setup at the moment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eILQiYivnb51h9E (with the Tobii) With a larger screen, you would need to decrease the zoom level, as the aircraft controls(and everything) would be too big in scale. With a 21:9 screen as large as 40" or more, the distortion on the edges should be harder to see.

@@thesimproject73 Hello, I replied to this comment but it seems it was deleted? Did you get the notification at all?

I can see it on the channel back end in YT studio. You added links to other channels. So, most likely, YT restricted your comment as you're possibly not a verified YT user. You have to be verified to add links to comments. They don't want people posting random unrelated links in the video comments. I hear what you are saying. But I think what you're not understanding what I'm saying. It's not just about FOV here. It's about FOV that matches real-world dimensions. When I'm in my flight simulator and look at the panel, following the setup I described in the video everything is sized 1:1 to the real world. The runway out in front matches the correct sizing and distance from your eyepoint. Simply going with a bigger monitor and settong a larger FOV will skew those dimensions unless you adjust the zoom level and postion the monitor to correct distance away from where you're sitting. This is super important when building a physical simulator to run in tandem with the display as I'm in the process of doing. Yes, if you're just showing everything on your monitor and are more worried about seeing things without having to change your view. Then yes, an UW monitor works better in that case. I'm about a month away from releasing the full built of my sim panel. And once that comes out things will make a lot more sense if you want to watch for that.

@@thesimproject73 Thanks, the link thing is good to know, I thought it was only blocked for sites outside of youtube. After rewatching the video, I think I see your point, the crux of it is I seem to have the opposite of your issue. Where you're forced to sit 40" away, I'm actually forced to sit close, at around 20" with my set up. In my case, the monitor engulfs my whole vision and the distortions on the sides remain outside the focus of my eyes. Sure enough, when altering the distance on the FOV calculator, I get a different "ideal FOV" value. My current space is a bit tight but I'll be staying tuned for your full Sim setup

The feeling of speed is an interesting concpt. Possibly since the ultrawide stretches the edges but not the center. So I can see what you're saying. As for VR, yes that's the ultimate way to do things. I'm going to build a set of helicopter controls and with VR that should be wild.

I'm not afraid of the trolls. 😎 Thanks for watching.

I will have a video up next week, hopefully covering this subject. I've built a new G1000 just waiting for a few little parts to come in, so I can finish the video. If you're using MSFS, it's a mouse and keyboard combo press to pop out the PFD/MFD sub panel so you can move it to the home built G1000

Since my system is FlightSim only, really don't need 144hz. Truthfully 60hz for MSFS is lots. It's not a high speed game so no need for that fast refresh. I just picked up a 4k 43inch TV that's 60hz for $299 that looks amazing.

Yes good old AMD/ATI 🤣🤣🤣... I'm fighting with my home office computer and AMD drivers trying to get a clean image because of a new driver.

Yes the work Dave at FSDIY is outstanding. His work is really making it easy for the average simmer to built realistic flight controls. I've got his G1000, GDU1500 and the GCU475 keyboard all ready to assemble once a few more parts show up. Watch for those builds to start showing up over the next few weeks Thanks for watching

LOL... Glad I'm safe 😉 Plan is to built this whole thing for less than $1000.. less the computer of course.

Not that I disagree with you. But larger FOV wasn't the basis behind the video. Sure, you can see more with an UW. But where you lose out is when you try to create a real-world view. When you follow the charts and set things up to a FOV that doesn't stretch or manipulate the view, and gives you a real world feel where distance from your eye to the instrument panel, windows, and outside world equals the same as youd find in the real world. 16:9 becomes the better fit.

You're one of the few lucky ones.. not as common today as it was during FSX and eealy P3D. The jump to full 64bit sims has fixed most of the issues. But I've had issues even with MSFS with ATI/AMD video drivers.

Since the video was made, I've upgraded to a 43-inch 4k. World of difference.. Thanks for watching.

The glarshield is light.. the material comes on 1kg spools. And I used about 2 spools. So, like 5 pounds so far.

I've never used track-Ir but know lots of people who do and like it. Thanks for watching and commenting 😎

The Hjet has a whole bunch of custom LVARs that can be accessed via simconnect. I use Spad.Next and Mobi-Flight. As iMSFS doesn't have a default key binding for this one They have an Excel sheet with them all on their Discord. But I think the one you are looking for is H:AS3000_TSC_Vertical_2_MiddleKnob_Push

You would be correct. It's a Garmin GTC550 touch screen interface for the G2000/30000. Can be rotated 90° and used as a GTN750 as well. Not setup for controlling the screen zoom but could easily be done using Mobi-Flight. Here's the built video, working on a better version for my Glass GA panel kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqaZoYqGnpaGjJY

@@thesimproject73 Thank you so much!

Yes, I've done that with an autopilot panel I'm building. The G1000 uses painted buttons so you can backlight the buttons. Life has been really busy the last 6months but just finishing the final programming of the unit and should have the video up by the end of the month.. the white print painted black than file the paint off the lttering for backlighting has turned out very cool... watch for the video in a few weeks 😊

Plastic actually, off a 3D printer.

Thanks for the suggestion.. I just checked it out on Amazon. Exactly what I need.

Thanks for watching 👀 👍

something like a 32:18 screen? 🙃

@@rulbinger I actually think ideal would be 2:1 aka "18:9". Shockingly, one of the most common screens in the world since it's very popular ratio in smartphones

Thats a nice TV, but lot of money for the size.. the near invisible bezel would make blending 3 screens together really nice. What most people don't realize, however. There is no need to get something with a high refresh rate. If you're not running a high frame rate. Than spending the extra money for a high refresh rate monitor.

Youll love it. Upgraded to a 4k TV from a black Friday sale. Looks amazing.. video on it coming soon.

All the reading I've done agrees with you. The 60-65inch TV is about the perfect setup you can have. Short of going to full on projects... thanks for watching

A modern TV's power consumption isn't much more than a standard monitor. I actually just picked up a new 4k 43inch TV, it draws 86 watts. The ultra-wide I have draws 57watts. So in the grand scheme of things it might cost a $1 more a year to run the TV over a monitor. Yes VR would be better for your examples, and personally, I'd love to try it for flying helicopters. I think it would give you a better feel for what the helo is doing than what you get with a single or even a head tracker. The problem is however, VR removes your ability to operate physical switches, so you're forced back to reaching for a mouse all the time when you need to change something. So well, it might improve one aspect of a simulator. You're having to give up a different type of immersion. But like the examples you gave, it comes down to what kind of flying you're doing.

When using some older software, new drivers can regularly cause issues. We'll I'm not saying you need to avoid all updates. Being one of those people who runs out and grabs the newest driver the second they are released. Can also lead to more issues as well. A balanced approach needs to be taken.

grammer and misspelling were intentional. Alot of people gravitate towards those items, and its actually a suggestion as a way to drive traffic and interaction 🙃.. Guess it only partially worked, since if took 11k+ views before someone mentioned it LOL..

@@thesimproject73 worked on me! 😆

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am working on an improved version that is much more realistic looking with the real unit... you can find me on discord as CXA007
