Motion Simulator build and test flight

[@B738DIY]

I have fixed the flexible u-joint using a panhard rod: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIa4nqmgo7uIhqc

[@IshaqIbrahim3]

Knock! Knock! Knock! This is the Boeing Company. We want to order 1,000 simulators to replace those expensive ones we had and save a lot of money. 🤣

[@Garygarygary-m5s]

I laughed when you showed a plastic u joint with all the torsional load 😂

[@Nick-xe2hu]

Very Impressive. I've 3D printed all kinds of stuff and almost thought you were joking when you said you 3D printed a joint to handle that load. I'm assuming this was done solid and no infill?

[@LeadNarrator]

The only motion sim I’ve ever seen where there is a potential for catering. 👌🏻

[@alternateuniverse1379]

Pizza oven right behind the cockpit, nice!

[@markwan1844]

You could 3D printing the universal joint in alumimium alloy . It is much more rigid

[@KenoBeatZ]

At this point of customization, I would go a step further and engaged some girls to play stewardess while they wear bunny suits. (don't judge me)

This is B738DIY your captain speaking, were crusing at 400 knots at an altitude of 30000ft and if i look over my left shoulder...theres 10 minutes left on the sausages 😊

Cant fly at 400knts man

Probably the best DIY sim out there. You have amazing fabrication skills.

[@B738DIY]

Thank you! 😊

[@gustavvader2207]

Incredible job! And thank you again for this. I showed my wife your sim and she said “ok, well I guess you aren’t the craziest person in the world”.

[@B738DIY]

Your welcome, my wife does probably agree with yours :)

[@gustavvader2207]

That’s ok. Your sim is glorious.

[@rcca07]

Don't forget too wine and dine your wife or she'll think all you think of is the simulator haha!😅😅 Mine would! Nice rig anyway!

[@xl447]

I'm a lorry mechanic. Why not get an old HGV propshaft from a breakers yard, cut down to length and weld two steel mounting discs on it either side? Something from a DAF CF for example. Simple, readily available and more heavy duty as a base.

[@mattcan69]

AHH your a wise man sir ! I deal with bikes alot and was thinking of using a bunch of steering dampeners to give a bit of push back if that makes sense ..

[@kiwiadventures3773]

Yes. I hate people 3d printing shit that can be bought for $20 at the wreckers

[@11guyinthechair]

I think for this aplication any car ujoint would do.

“Honey why is there a cockpit in our kitchen?!”

[@CruceEntertainment]

Because you were gone for 4 months, I thought you left for good

[@Honlaky1787]

Its like putting together a king size bed inside the garage and come to find out can't fit through the bedroom door... But hell, at least he won't go hungry while flying. Just reach back and grab a frying pan and make some pancakes on the stove... One of the best flight simulator I've seen. Great job!!!

@@aleksandarpantic8450 Thier is a lot that goes into flight testing. Many different planes are tested with different test packages. I understand your joke and even agree with it. The "Max" problems were software problems not Aiirframe or Poweplant ones. Software is loaded, and updated from my position as part of the Test team.

[@andrevdw747]

Boeing pay attention, when you build a 737, you start with the galley. What an awesome job 🙏🏻🛫👍🏻

And nothing falls off during a flight. That's a win.

Very nice build. Impressive that you have realistic instrumentation, switches and controls. This might be the best private simulator I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing this.

[@Tony770jr]

You have a lot of fabrications skills, time and money to pull that project off. Very Cool!

[@kevinreed3236]

Glad you remembered how all that went back together! Definitely probably going to need some seatbelts as well!! The turbulence is going to be fun!! Congrats! Looks great!!!

[@B738DIY]

Thank you, I'm glad I remembered as well. I'm working on seats with seatbelts. There will be a seat build video in the not too distant future.

I need a friend like this in my life

[@geofferyshanen7758]

I am a retired commercial pilot with mostly helo time but about 4000 hrs fixed wing, I have flown Citation Jet, Kingair 200, PC12, B55 Baron and Seneca 3. I think your sim is awesome!! I also have a sim but nothing like yours. Unfortunately I had two heart attacks and had to stop real world flying, but I still fire up my Sim and fly the B737-800 in XPlane. I also have MSFS where I have been flying the B787 Dreamliner, but can’t seem to get it to fly properly the autopilot disconnects randomly so I haven’t been able to complete a flight. After disconnect the AC starts oscillations in pitch and I have to escape. Very frustrating. I really appreciate you sharing your Sim with the aviation community. Thanks Again AWESOME!!!!!

[@Ev1lsp00n]

I was waiting for the chairs to go flying :P Amazing job!

[@tomdtom5407]

I had the same issues 14 years ago, developing a 3dof motion simulator. I have solved it with an arm the is linked to the platform and the base. In the arm there were 2 rotation joints aligned with the universal joint of the base

[@richardlincoln886]

I've not done anything like this - but similar effect to a panhard rod on car rear suspension may work? i.e. long enough that the rotation about a point is negligible - but stops rotation around the vertical axis.

[@stuartthurstan]

@@richardlincoln886 Came to the comments section looking for this. My thoughts are along the same lines. A diagonal bar running across the back of the platform mounted at one end to the platform itself and at the other end to the base. This is the exact same principle as a panhard bar and will eliminate any twist whilst still allowing full pitch and roll freedom of movement.

[@B738DIY]

I'm in the process of making a panhard rod, thank you for the suggestion. I have modelled the motion using a panhard rod, and it will introduce less than +- 1 degree og rotation around the vertical axis which is a significant improvement over the current situation.

[@richardlincoln886]

@@B738DIY Cool If you wanted to get really complex, a glance at steam engine design might be fun. 'Parallel motion' does exactly that & potentially gets you to zero rotation depending on the backlash in the joints. (IMO Stick with Panhard at least initially :) )

[@ioanniskalogeropoulos3927]

The level of detail is insane. Like the oven at the back for heating passengers' meal :)

[@B738DIY]

Tusen takk!

[@Xxecstasy]

I'd fly over right now and try that if I could! That's sick man!!

[@whenlizardsfly]

You should get a bright light that is dimmable and is on a circular track around the ceiling and find a way to get it to follow the in game sun, that would be really cool. The glare and shadows inside during day. Maybe an rgb light so you can make it warmer as the sun sets. You would have to somehow shield the monitors from the light but if you could do it would be amazing.

[@tarikb.2352]

Amazing project! I build my own homecockpit without motion but you motivate me to consider again this point WaoW Amazing!!

[@bertchiu9265]

[@sundar999]

This ia one fantastic project and very well done! Regarding motion there isn't much a feeling of motion in an airliner. It is supposed to be flown gently so the only disturbance you may feel sometimes is turbulence. At the take off you'll feel the acceleration for a few seconds and a slight feeling of the braking after touch down, but that's it! You're never aware of being in a turn except when looking out of the window since it's flown coordinated with not much banking.

[@Bronwyn031]

We need to all pitch in and get this man some authentic aircraft seats! You don't go all this way with your sim rig and settle on some kitchen chairs! I single tear ran down my face after seeing that. 😣

[@B738DIY]

I'm in the process of designing and building my own pilot seats 😄. I have already starten on filming segments for the pilot seat build video, so stay tuned

[@mollyfilms]

And next week he will show you the Airbus 380 in his bedroom. At least with the 737 the galley is close.

you could stabilize the platform even more by adding shock absorbers at an angle from the platform to the frame to dampen side to side motion
