[Cockpit] A Tour Of My F16 Build !

[@evtyler]

I was an F-16 avionics technician and that thing is AWESOME!

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

We need to talk then 😍

[@zningz5317]

wow，you are job so cool！

[@Cash_McCoy]

I was a navy avionics technician for 12 years back in the day, now I'm a retired civilian avionics technician. Did the USAF have the avionics split up, i.e avionics tech did radios and navigation, fire control techs did the radar and weapons systems, etc? The navy use to do that when I first went in. They had AT, which is what I was, AQ... fire control tech, and then AX for the anti-submarine techs. They combined it all into one rate later on.

[@WOLFER.]

How much did it all cost? Cuz I wanna do the same one day

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

@@WOLFER. Probably in the 12-15K range.

[@johnhobbs66]

As someone who is slowly piecing together something similar the hours put in here are truly impressive good work

[@bahnerz]

Hey man! Same here, you got discord?

[@Boeing-Aeronautica]

Um how do you get the pieces for your builds?

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

@@Boeing-Aeronautica Made them myself or find on viperpits and so on. Need to be professional investigator to find these pieces sometimes x)

[@buckfiden2697]

Be safe man get you a g-suit, so you don't pass out while flying!

[@maciekkra539]

Pretty cool. I didn't realize F16 had real wood trim, pretty classy.🙂

[@rinzler9775]

Some limited edition luxury models had it. 😂

[@maciekkra539]

@@rinzler9775 🤣👍

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

Wood is the best material to resist gun impacts 🤣

[@alanmakoso1115]

This is next level. The details of the avionics is just wow!

[@cuteshadow]

That is just completly mental. Awesome!

[@Nobodys631]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen bro by far out of every setup urs. Is the best

[@falconbmsgr7260]

The thing that the joystick works with pressure like on the real on its amazing

[@Salucas12]

Oh my god, I can't believe it. It's INSANE !!! good job 🤩

[@Snaerffer]

This is an insanely good setup. Well done!

[@b4ds33d]

THIS is what all in looks like. Very nice.

[@geoluc2357]

Amazing ! Greetings from France 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

Hey! Salut copain d'outre-Quevrain!

[@iammorpheus7345]

Wow, i am blown away at this how cool man.

[@maggsstuckey487]

Looks like about what we work on. That right console needs some time though. Over all looking good!

[@branjosnow6244]

I freaking love it! Hell of a setup dude. 👍

[@enginepy]

Wow. I wasn’t expecting all that. Pretty amazing

[@j6077xxd]

Awesome now we need consumer mixed/augmented reality VR headsets that function with this cockpit.

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

Check at Viperwing website ;)

[@riishiraja1000]

I am very impressed with the stick! How did you manage to get it to respond to pressure applied tho?

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

FCC2 from Vipercore ;) Check at Vipergear website the VFS-WE ;)

[@therocinante3443]

@@mylittlefalconworkshop Wow so it's actually a Cougar stick? That's awesome! I wish I had known about this before purchasing a Realsimulator FSSB.. Modding my cougar would have been WAY cheaper! P.S. AWESOME build!

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

@@therocinante3443 thanks a lot! 😁🤟

[@Diluted37]

Ironically that's how the original F-16 stick was designed. Because of fly-by-wire the designers thought that the stick wouldn't need to move and could just be controlled using pressure, it was the pilots who wanted a stick that moved so there would be a more tactile/physical response to controlling the aircraft.

[@dudugasperintreinamentopro388]

A dream

[@NatendoSwitch]

If it wasn't already badass, you added rock & roll to it.

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

always add rock & roll haha :D

[@RSProduxx]

Huge ammounts of respect for your dedication, this is a fantastic build... Though for me personally, something like this would be too "specific", immersion is gone the moment you´re flying any other plane. I´ll probably stick to a generic setup with a button-box and/ or something like Game Glass... But yeah, always stunning to see what some simmers come up with :)

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

Thanks! I really love the F16 and Falcon BMS. I agree with you, the important thing is to know what you really want :)

[@GooseMugs]

Dude how does a button-box and an ipad for your mfds not break immersion more than sitting in a different 1:1 fighter cockpit?

[@RSProduxx]

@@GooseMugs it doesn´t build up that immersion in the first place, so it can´t be broken..

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

@@RSProduxx actually, now i played with it a lot, i think avionic export (mfds display, ..) is not about immersion but about it's "convenient" or "comfort". The immersion comes from the seat, controls, gear lever, position of your legs and arm and the way you fly in the sim.

[@RSProduxx]

@@mylittlefalconworkshop absolutely. In the end, the important thing is you´re having fun which ever way you decide to play ... :)

[@afterburnerrc6333]

Very cool, great job!

[@G80G70]

와~! 이런 미친! 이건 덕질중의 덕질이닷! 당신의 덕질에 경의를 표합니다.

[@jackmaskell4935]

Great job. The build looks amazing

[@xbatman63]

this puts a smile on my face

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

Best compliment !

[@NKal]

First time seeing someone flying a F-16 with just socks on. 😂😂👍👍 Awesome build mate! 🍻

[@bkpickell]

I do it barefoot. I would rather watch someone play in socks than a full flightsuit. That is just next level cringe.

[@rinzler9775]

The work involved to get this going must have been insane.

[@dotnetdevni]

Man what u for a living love it.

[@SOU6900]

I'd love to do something like this. Maybe an F-14 or P51 one. Really nice set up you got going. I guess somewhere there's an F16 that has a cockpit that "got misplaced". 😉

[@worldtravel101]

😂

[@mpsteidle]

You're gonna need another seat for that F14 :)

[@SOU6900]

@@mpsteidle 😆 yeah I didn't think about that.

[@alanmakoso1115]

I'm more of an fa18 super hornet fan but I get the sentiment

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Hooooly Mackarel! That's beyond awesome!

[@xz2683]

very nice from a 20+ year flight simmer and real pro pilot

[@linkmasterms]

Crazy! Respekt for this great work!

[@droussel7359]

Awesome build!

[@damianketcham]

This is a whole new level of dedication!!!!! This is level 50 out of a max level of 25. I’m guessing you aren’t married.

[@robertmetzger6467]

That's Funny !

[@NJTDover]

Are you going to propose to him? 😂 😆

[@royroy333]

flying with only socks on is a court martial dude

[@bockijo8256]

Great work!

[@ALPHARICCO875]

Fantastic 👍 Congratulations

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

Awesome work

[@Cipher-1-1]

This is incredible..... wow

[@sebastianelias8471]

Un sueño !!! Es tremendo!!!

[@way2sh0rt07grad]

Amazing build! I'm torn between building this or sticking with VR. 2 completely different immersion experiences. The cockpit is great because you feel in touch with the aircraft. VR is great because you feel in touch with the surroundings. In a perfect world you could blend them but I'd go for the flap control and somehow hit the fuel dump lol.

[@aaronIBEW]

That is where the Varjo vr mixed reality comes in to give the best of both worlds.

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

@@aaronIBEW there is also Viperwing that offers mixed reality :)

[@BogeyDope]

Awesome!

[@NJTDover]

Yo, Maverick!!! Nice make-believe cockpit. I envy you positively, chump!

[@thedakotahurley]

Fantastic!!!

Now you got to get a mixed reality headset

[@gabrielmenezes9610]

Amazing

[@lylewyant3356]

I'm jealous. I want all that plus stepper motors underneath to create slight pitch and roll of the whole assembly.

Genial, excelent work

[@Registered_Simp]

Aight, next step is a custom cockpit lid which doubles as a display XD

[@jeewiz2103]

I'm quoting f16 simulated lrus to Lockheed's now. About 12 different units. Mfd's, center pedestal display, ded, icp, landing gear panel and some more. We build the real stuff including exterior light, nvis light plates, lighting control and more. Most f16 have our lights. We do a lot and did a lot of the nvis upgrades (mlu). This is cool.

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

Need to buy some parts from you then! 😅

[@landonjordan1817]

Insane. Very cool

[@viperdriver82]

I like that authentic F-16 side stick ...barely moves just like the real thing

[@einarabelc5]

I never understood something about these awesome home builds and that's what's outside, which is what matters the most.

[@lolvks]

Great build! Would it be possible to tilt the stick forward 10-20 degrees like on the real jet? It would make the neutral position of the stick be at a more natural position than standings straight up.

[@mylittlefalconworkshop]

I have the piece for, but need to install it. As the F16 grip from thrusmaster has weak screw holes, i would lile to soldier it :)
