When I got out of the Navy I went to work for DOD on the base I got out at a division called Manned Flight Simulator. We had flight simulators of many different kinds of aircraft that were built from planes like this one. We built and operated them for the Navy. I can't remember all the planes but I know they had an F-14 and several attack aircraft. There was multiple platforms they operated in. One was a 40' sphere with hidden cameras that projected full visuals in the inside of the dome. Others were platforms where they could roll different "aircraft" into the environment on rails. They also had a full motion simulator for the V-22 Osprey that was a full cockpit with the visuals projected on screens outside the cockpit so it looked realistic. I worked on the AH-1 Cobra program. We took Cobra helicopters and cut everything away but the cockpit and then built a base for it that housed all the computers and such. They weren't motion but every circuit breaker/device could be faulted and their aircraft responded accordingly. It had head tracking for the gunner, seat shakers, etc. Everything worked. It was a very cool place to work with the smartest people I ever worked with. Often they'd have a system set up and the pilots would be done so you could get some seat time in the different simulators. Since I was on the Cobra team we had plenty of opportunities to fly them. My claim to fame was that I was the first employee (non-pilot) who successfully auto rotated the Cobra in. It wasn't a pretty landing but the computer said I walked away from it.

[@benramirez6564]

jesus christ... I dont even have words to describe how cool this is

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

I love those goggles. You get to see the instruments etc but then shown the outside world.

[@CaptVirtual]

This is awesome, great job.. I do find it strange that a full working cockpit exists, but then you mask it all out with VR. May as well just had the basic seat & controls on the motion platform.

[@cymro8902]

you dont mask it out hence the 'mixed reality'. you can see yourself I the cockpit in the headset by the looks of the video.

[@jeremymcgowan3721]

It's call mixed reality, that vr headset allows you to see both the vr visuals and the real cockpit.

[@CaptVirtual]

@@jeremymcgowan3721 oh, I didn't realise it was augmented reality headset. Now I am even more impressed.

[@donaldshannon3764]

In my early days as an AF guy I was a flight sim instructor. I had 6,000 hours of cockpit time and only wished for full cockpit motion and visuals like this. I'd live to give this rig a try.

[@ericrodano7951]

Bravo super travail !

[@joneken89]

what happens when you do a full roll or if you stay inverted? Does the cockpit roll to like 20-30 degrees when you do the first stick input and then smoothly goes back to "neutral" until you do another roll back to straight and level? Or if you roll to 90 degrees and stay in that attitude, will the motion system go back to neutral position in a smooth fashion?

[@georges.patton4241]

I need a p47D bubble top of this

[@daveg5857]

I don't think motion sim is really worth it for fighter sims because you're in all sorts of orientations. You're frequently inverted and sometimes pulling toward the ground, in a split s for example. There's no way to simulate that. I think it might be great for helicopter sims, though.

[@stevengoodwin6421]

Whether or not it is worth it depends on the person. Never will it be 100% realism. But it's just a simulation anyway. I have a motion simulator I use on a racing sim set up. It adds to the fun, but it's not the same and never will be as good as a track day. I've never had anyone try it out and ask to turn the seat off though.

[@pitpao]

You can add a motor to the back of your seat that squishes your harness to simulate g effects.

[@daveg5857]

@@pitpao Now you're talking. I think that could be pretty effective. I have the "Jet Pad" by Sim Shaker, basically a massage pad, but configurable software makes it respond to events in the game, like buffeting, which is huge. Then I added a bass shaker, and just hooked it up in the simplest way possible. I shot down a fighter with a missile at close range. It was on fire, and then hundreds of feet below me, it exploded. I felt the shockwave in my seat. That was unreal!

[@tsgambill]

I like that. I'm still trying to figure out how to do that make the canopy. I don't have the measurements.

[@bobbybates2614]

[@billpandos7962]

I really like the whole project but without the VR headset. I prefer either to have a large 180 screen or a holodome

[@evandrolima1724]

I would rather have that cockpit in a carnival ride to make it spin for G-force. A screen under those conditions probably wouldn't work. You would have to add a heavy frame just to hold the screen. Best think is to improve VR sets, with more periferal view and better pixelized.
