Fantastic and thanks for sharing . I know the time and effort in building a home cockpit . I spent 7 years building a 737 sim . But ….having a flat screen for the outside view is not total immersion. I fly in vr with a motion sim at home and I’m a real world pilot if you used this with mixed reality in vr in would be spectacular. Cheers Dave from Scotland

Can you do a video on the breaker boxes?

Fair enough but you have it rotated for side stick configuration, ie as it is on the F16 when a side stick. You should rotate to fit your hand, left 15 degrees as it is in the A10 that uses the same grip.

[@PedroMcCloud]

What the hell? The guy builds a cockpit and you are moaning about the merits of how the stick is placed? Someone has OCD.

I have to ask.., I have Teks warning panel and Lock Shoot! They tend to delay the longer I fly. Another words if I get a lock, and I’ve been flying for a while, the lock shoot may not go on for a long time afterwards. How do you get yours response so quickly? Is there a firmware or something you do that I don’t see?

When I first received Tek's parts also had same issue. After trying several firmware updates finally ended up using 2 brain controllers and that help with the delay. I'd suggest to email Kieron and he will help you, good luck!
