World's Most Expensive DIY Flight Simulator - Commentary

[@tedvanmatje]

Mother of the Gods...this is good! Thanks for posting Dave! The technical aspect of how this is done certainly triggered my 'Spider' senses. Development of the whole system must've been geek-yoga for those involved in the Sim's creation. A behind the scenes of all the electronics involved would be very cool.

Will expect another video when the new one’s done! :)

[@captaincanuck7110]

any landing that you can reuse the plane is a good landing ... LOL So true!

[@zeroaviation]

Did anyone else watch that landing and think... Centerline centerline centerline?

[@ioannisioannou7518]

the camera angle might be off a little but yes that was waaaay left of center for a second or two. Flare also looked a bit awkward

Heh, the question "Is the 747 very easy to fly?" I would have answered thusly: It is easy to **fly**, it is not easy to **operate**.

[@mercster]

I thought I was doing pretty good with my Honeycomb Alpha yoke, TWCS throttle and Logitech Multi-Panel. 😅

[@Stoney3K]

I think the diversity of simulated aircraft will increase as things like 3D printers and laser cutters are pretty inexpensive today and people can build their own panels in an affordable way.

28:55 cant just power out of a stall have to really push down to break it (stall that is) and unload the wings :)

[@-dazz-]

I believe the 737 MAX stall recovery procedure calls for pitching down before you crank the throttles, as throttling up will bring the nose up significantly, because of the way the new engines are mounted to the wings, and make matters even worse

[@elmin2323]

@@-dazz- lol this is a 747

[@elmin2323]

Further to that uprt training now we don't train for minimum height loss you at 38000ft no rush take your time identify confirm breath then correct

[@-dazz-]

@@elmin2323 I know.

[@lfox02]

The standard stall recovery procedure on all 737 aircraft is to cut the throttle and push down (in all aircraft, really). The runaway trim procedure (for which the MAX has become infamous for) is for one of the pilots to hold back pressure on the control column and for the other to cut out the electric trim control then crank it by hand (again, on all 737) into a nose up position (it is mechanicaly linked, as are all flight controls) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rprbfpKZrLh_mbM

It's got printed paper in lieu of some of the panels....so, whilst a great simulator I'm sure, it probably isn't the most expensive. Don't get all sensitive and claim I'm trolling or being horrible; I'm not. I'm just reacting to the words used in the title.

[@davidpalmer9780]

Considering the cost of the hydraulic motion platform and auxiliary equipment supporting it, I'd say the title is accurate.

[@epictetus9766]

David Palmer and I wouldn’t, what’s your point? Check out the New York City banker’s simulator...

[@davidpalmer9780]

@@epictetus9766 I could not find what you were recommending to 'check out'. KZbin and Google searches yield nothing to support your point. Can you provide a link?

[@epictetus9766]

David Palmer yes, I was a bit tired and so lacked detail in my reply. The KZbin channel is Nico Lumermann. He has the Boeing data packs and all sorts installed. Also, check out Melbourne 737 project. Two brilliant examples of perfect sims.

[@davidpalmer9780]

@@epictetus9766 I agree with you that both sims are very good. I sub'ed to both. Yesterdays EEVBlog video, and the ones to follow, provide greater description on the new 744 sim than the current 20 year old sim and I'd be interested to read your comments once complete and up on the motion platform. You can't beat the real, genuine aircraft parts for the look and feel of the real thing.
