Finally, you and other pilots recognize that SIMS and especially when coupled with a good VR headset is an excellent learning tool! When I am flying into unfamiliar non towered airports, I practice the approach and flight plan on my X-Plane 11 sim with Occulus Rift VR system. This is a real safety feature. I learn the geography and the correct approach then I go fly it.. Flying to the new location then feels like I have done this before!! I import Foreflight directly into the SIM environment so I see my location in real time along with the real control zones and frequencies.. Can't beat this kind of practice!!

Absolutely. Manipulating the radio and the GPS is a cumbersome task with the mouse. I picked up a dedicated GPS unit a little while ago (not quite as good as the RealSimGear, this one doesn't have a working dispay, it's just the GPS head unit) and was really glad I did. It's the only additional peripheral I've added in 20+ years of continuous simming. It's helped quite a bit.

Steven, the PilotEdge web site has a section called "Pilot Center" and under that, Supplemental Programs. Two programs that could be hlpeful for you are "Getting Started with Simluation" and "VFR Communications Manual." ATC communications are typically not well taught in most training programs. It's almost as though students are somehow expected just pick it up through osmosis...it really is an afterthought in most flight training environments. Those two resources might help you out quite a bit. Full disclosure, I was involved in the creation of both of them, but I wouldn't recommend them if I didn't think they were 100% relevant to your situation.

Having access to a good sim (and a ham radio license) sped up my training immensely, but it wasn't 100% positive. I learned some bad habits in the sim because it just doesn't work exactly like a real plane. Cost me a couple hours of avgas and instructor to correct what I thought I knew.

Awesome jump into simming! It's super addictive.... CPU is spot on since it looks like your doing XPlane, the combat sims (IL2 and DCS) are much more multi-core / AMD friendly and better optimized. IL2:BoX especially. I honestly though think you should have splurged on the yoke/pedals & throttle quadrant though, 2080ti is absolute overkill for most applications, and you can turn down the resolution / options to get the FPS you need. Yoke and pedals especially as the cheap throttle quads can work for the interim while you work up to something more. Really the controls are absolutely 100% the most important components of a flight simulator rig hands down. Headtracking / VR second (and yes you can use a 1070ti or equivalent and have a great experience). Not to mention with the number of subscribers you have I would almost guarantee some of the companies would send you stuff to use for visibility.

Good job! I built a flight simulator myself last year with almost the same specs, except I have the older 1080 ti instead of 2080 ti. I'm currently running Xplane VR with an oculus rift, and while it's an flight simulator experience on a completely different level (being to have 360 degree vision is unbelievably helpful for looking for ground references), there are some shortcomings for VR flight simming. A couple of biggest downfall for me is you can't see where your physical controls are, so sometimes you'll bump a control or your table with the VR googles on, and once in a while I"ll encounter microstutter and that will reset the default viewing angle. Let me know if you have any questions about VR.

VR is fantastic for pattern work and formation flying. I believe it's a poor candidate in its current form, though, for end to end IFR flying because of how challenging it is to review approach plates, copy clearances, and to manipulate the radios that are needeed when flying online with ATC. One of FlightChops' goals is to become more comfortable with the Garmin 430. Short of having haptic gloves and really high resolution headsets, VR is probably the single worst environment to practice that task. His current hardware is ideal for it.

Here's a parts list: pcpartpicker.com/list/QjGwRJ You can swap some cheaper components if you like. This has good storage, plus the same chip & GPU from the video, plus a good airflow/cooling case, powersupply. Note, this usses the same GPU/video card, and the one they used is VERY expensive. ($1,200 of the $2,500 total)

Great flight Chops. The key to the simulation though is not the technology as much as the human ware. Instruction is the answer. Not just any instructor, but someone who can translate real world from simulated.

I can't wait to see you try a flight sim in VR for the first time. Make sure you capture that experience on camera, lol. Also, Flyinside is an up and coming VR focused sim that will take advantage of your multi-core setup.
