I just bought his preprinted kit with electronics, aswell as his HUD kit with the shoot and lock. Currently waiting on it to get here. Im super excited!

[@msboi1218]

You won’t be disappointed!

[@kutscha2]

Thanks..nice panel…maybe start cleaning up a bit the room around the cockpit for the next video :)

[@msboi1218]

Hahaha yeah that’s on my massive list of things to do. My problem is I keep rearranging lol

[@ALPHARICCO875]

Super cockpit 🌟 Congratulations

[@msboi1218]

Thanks!

[@Sophie-ly5jn]

I will stand by what you say about Hornet SimShop, I have the early dash kit to fit my cougar mfd... I used a 0.4 nozzle with carbonfibre pla... I won't use anyone else, top guy🤙 Loving the Razer too, they're so handy

[@msboi1218]

Top notch designs, am I right?

[@OliviaIsNaff]

Coool! Everything is cool

[@msboi1218]

Thanks!

[@austinisaac8924]

This is nuts lol. Next step is to build an actual aircraft around your monitor.

[@msboi1218]

hell yea, brother

[@Administrator_O-5]

PLEASE READ! I was planning on getting the WinWing TOP GUN MIPS set, but I am concerned about whether it will work with the F-16 and/or other aircraft in DCS World. Any info would be extremely helpful & appreciated I'm getting ready to get a gaming chair cockpit. I'm talking like the kind with the leather recliner, massage chair that reclines to 170 degrees, the monitor arm is independently controlled so it can be raised, lowered, forward & backward. I'm putting a 49" Ultrawide Curved monitor too. I also pre-ordered a Meta Quest 3 (I sold my Quest 2 & Quest Pro which more than covered the cost of it). Should I get WinWing HOTAS, Vipril or the new Thrust Master?

[@msboi1218]

I think price to performance wise, you would be better off going with the winwing hotas. My buddy has the 16 Stick/throttle combo and he loves it. The Top gun mips WILL work with the F16. in Winwing's software, you can choose which plane you are flying so the mfds display correctly.

[@msboi1218]

If you want, I can send you a screenshot later today of what the software looks like with the F-16 selected for the mips!

[@oneflyline96]

If you don’t mind, could you tell me what the largest width is required for the print files? I have a Bambu labs x1C, but the bed is only 250x250.

[@msboi1218]

Yeah you need a LOT of bed space. I used an ender 3 s1 plus, I think it’s 300x300x300. It just barely fits the left and right dash visors

[@CrashEd1664]

I’ve also got an X1C, real shame it won’t fit. Also, HornetSimShop’s prices have gone up a lot since this video went out 😢

[@msboi1218]

yeah they have, but I know a lot of it was because people were buying his STL files and then reselling them on different sites. Which is a bummer because he puts a LOT of time and effort into his design process.

[@CrashEd1664]

@@msboi1218 that’s fair enough.

[@staceymcdonald7981]

Where did you get the STLs for fillers until you get the electronics?

[@msboi1218]

the guy over at hornet sim shop hooked me up with them!

[@MrCrazyScotsman]

Do you use TrackIR or do you use button-bound looking around?

[@msboi1218]

I do have a trackIR 5 and a Tobii eye tracker for when I don't do VR with the index. I just couldn't find either of them for a while so I had been using the trim hat on the stick to look around lol

[@scouseflyer7242]

Hi bud - how do you have them mounted? Thanks

[@msboi1218]

I use the monstertech mount, I think they call it the topgun too.

[@Thezuule1]

My flight sim rig is a VR headset.

[@msboi1218]

Hell yeah, I have a valve index but I like having physical controls too lol

[@Thezuule1]

@@msboi1218 I already have too many expensive hobbies. If I started building an airplane in the basement my wife would string me up. 😆

[@lukebable]

I have one word of advice for you. Prioritize cable management !

[@msboi1218]

That’s happening soon! Probably….maybe…idk we’ll see lol

[@satariel8652]

a few years ago i go to a arcade. and there was a game about piloting a jet. and the chair was conected to a robotic arm that move you around with the movement of the jet. but i mean, even i was upsidedown. thats still exist?

[@msboi1218]

They do make motion rigs, I'd love to have one one day lol

[@satariel8652]

@@msboi1218 yeah, but i dont find anything like that, it was like a sphere of robotic arms, and you can rotate 360, and do even a frontflip and hang upside down, even in internet i dont find that
