HOME FLIGHT SIMULATOR TOUR | HOME SIM PILOT

[@brenttaylordotus]

Man, I’m in complete awe of your diligence and commitment to the point of even mapping out the power outlets in your place. Very cool and well done.

[@HomeSimPilot]

I appreciate that!

[@max-jz5lf]

You're a generous guy, showing your home cockpit. Thank you!

[@Matthew-hi5ud]

Love your system! Not now but I think you should fly around North America for hire helping people with their advanced home sim setups. 7k is worth it! People spend all kinds of cash and often more on their passion! Keep it going...I'll be following! Thanks for sharing what you do!

[@foodtrucksaopaulonogueir3881]

The most clever and effective cockpit I've seen ! Congrats !!!

[@HomeSimPilot]

Thanks a lot!

[@nimbapilot6925]

@@HomeSimPilothi man... thanks for the video. One question. The button on your penal for the obs etc.... did you make it yourself or it came with the front panel? Thanks.

[@applejacks971]

That's nuckin futs! Mind blown when you panned out revealing the overall size. I need this!! Well done!!

[@moukafaslouka4796]

Holy crap! Your setup could be used for training future pilots. This saves money in the long run. Even if you are the only one using it, flying countless hours would have easily cost you $40 k or $50 k. I would understand it if you spent hours and hours simulating flights. If you ever go for your private pilot license, you would be extremely comfortable with every aspect of flying.

[@HomeSimPilot]

You're absolutely right im saving a lot. Thanks for checking it out

[@enquire422]

Sam Chui would be proud of you!!

[@theohappyjoystick]

That’s crazy awesome! I’m a private pilot and I would have definitely paid to spend some time in this sort of setup during my training. Cheaper and safer to explore the limits of flight. Great job.

[@stewiepid4385]

So inspiring sir. I am borrowing so many ideas from you in a good way. The sheet to keep your treasures hidden says everything about you and how you approach problems. Effective, minimalistic and beautiful.

[@robertl1208]

You sir are a Jedi Master of flight sim setups

[@HomeSimPilot]

I appreciate it! That means a lot. Cheers

[@jTone40]

great video, I like how you figured out all this on your own and didn't just buy/ pay someone to do it.

[@watermouse9296]

Damn dude - that power electrical map, wow. Also so glad you showed this setup vid. With 55" 4K TVs as low as 200-250 recently,. this is definitely not a pipe-dream setup anymore. This has really inspired me!

[@Charm-313]

I was thinking that same thing. Just bought a 55" for a computer screen replacement. Really cheap.

[@applejacks971]

The main instrument panel is a board placed over a screen that makes it appear as individual gauges? That's an awesome set up :)

[@18000rpm]

Dammmmmnnnnn that's one sweet setup and what a labor of love. Kudos man.

[@HomeSimPilot]

I appreciate that!

[@johnpanik7511]

Get a knobster for the knobs. Game changer.

[@PilotSavvy]

This is very nice and helpful. I am in the process of re-building and upgrading my simulator. Rest assured that I am going to implement some of your ideas. I also think that you are doing the pilot and sim community a big favor by sharing your sim secrets. Thank you for sharing and being yourself.

[@TinyMaths]

Wow, a man who knows what he wants and has found a way to get it done. Very impressive.

[@HomeSimPilot]

Thank you very much!

[@nploates]

A most impressive and inspirational sim. I like the way that you really think, plan and build your sim. I also like the way you checked out and manage your mains power supply. You probably have the skill and patience to build an experimental real aircraft one day!

[@keithrogers5832]

You are one clever man, I like your setup

I can only imagine what the vibrations feel like when you power it up, lol. Very impressive and a lot of time well spent on your part. It is obvious that you love flying. Thanks for sharing.

[@RealSimGear]

Awsome! We love seeing what people build around our hardware.

[@roddraym]

Truly admire what you've accomplished. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@HomeSimPilot]

Thanks for watching!

[@SottileSky]

Awesome setup! Not just the sim, but as someone who lives in a 1 bedroom, this gave me some great ideas. Thank you!

[@HomeSimPilot]

Thanks a lot. Glad it was helpful!

[@manwinkler]

Brilliant .... and delivered so modestly .... thank you.

[@watashibr]

Is completely amazing your work!! That sheet wich gives you more privacy and better cooling systems also provides a nice way to look your cockpit, the effects for us to watch your flight is look like a real cockpit, i mean, i never thought how it is in the backstage. Nice man, wonderful work! Thank you for sharing this video!

[@rmm9676]

Terrific work. Well done!! I am helping with a new home sim installation. Can you give some impression of the DA Trim Wheel? Specifically, does it match closely two basic maneuvers learned by every student pilot. -1- Engine Out emergency Best Glide at 65 knots practice. Power to idle / Spin trim wheel down to full nose up limit / Then with three bottom to top nose down rotations the C172 should fly at 65 knots. -2- Steep turns. Lay in 45 degrees with back pressure and add about 100 rpm power followed by three nose up top to bottom rotations on the trim wheel. Fly 360 degree circle with minimum inputs to maintain altitude. Hope you could test this and advise. My Saitek Cessna Trim Wheel works very accurately in X-Plane once I got a special LUA script in place. But that device is out of stock every where. I use my sim to support real world training so accuracy and realism are very important. Thanks in advance. Stay safe and be well.

[@joshuaespinoza5082]

48 to 55 in seems to be the perfect tv sizes for simulation. I'm still gonna try my 82in. :) Great video and thanks for sharing. Best home setup I've seen.

[@DrTom1946]

Nice job. It was very, very, VERY helpful and the most detailed I have seen. I especially appreciate your detailed links and explanations. You are one class act. Thanks. Now, I haven’t yet looked at your links below however, I hope you share how you built the instrument t panel. Again, thank you for your wonderful explanation. I’m looking to build one just like yours for my two 11 & 12 year old grandsons.

[@thetonyroberts]

Congats man. Nicely done:)

[@VonSpud]

Your Sim is very cool ! Great watching you explain how it all goes together. Thx. I like how you figured out your power requirements. And the fact that you even bothered to. Attention to detail, great attribute.

[@HomeSimPilot]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate that

[@duanewilliams7353]

I was hoping that we were going to go for a ride!!! was looking forward to it!! I love your set up!! and am jealous!! But never thought of the power requirements!!! I used to fly 3-4 hours a day!!, pretended deliveries all over the globe, a bunch in middle east, UK Norway, Switzerland and even Asia, where ever I could make some routes!!! Loved flying them, and flying with guys from England and surrounding countries...great bunch of guys...comp finally froze up got my left wing locked down! could land ILS and shut it off when it touched ground!! and hold R rudder!

[@scottcegielski8237]

Very cool setup man! I just saw one of the other videos for the first time and couldn't even tell what I was looking at until you pull the camera back. Really convincing from inside the cockpit view! I play X-Plane in VR casually. It doesn't have the tactile quality of real world hardware of course and needs to run at least 45fps to be tolerable but still it's pretty good. Wondering if you have tried VR X-Plane and your take on the difference. Also cool power diagram. I also did this when moving into new place.

[@PhilGeissler]

It's deceptively simple! Now all I need is $6,000, my wife's blessings and I am in business! The hardest being my wife's blessings, lol!

@@R-BURQUENO Maaan.Just fuck off with your get rich quick schemes.

[@imfacebookpaul]

Such a great setup. Thank you! I'm building the exact same one in my apartment. Have a Realsim panel almost complete and exact copy of my Cherokee 6 cockpit with Avidyne screens, Garmin Gps, etc. Quick Question on the TV's. How did you connect them together so there is no crack of light between screens? I saw another video you did of using aluminium foil tape in between to get rid of black bevel (I'll do that as well) but for behind the screens are they just placed right next to each other? or did you secure them behind in some other way? Black duct tape? velcro? Thanks. I'll send you some pics of my finished product when it's done. Thanks again. Love your videos!

[@Texas1FlyBoy]

Nice setup! I was impressed that you considered power distribution on your breakers. Not many people think of that. Good work!

[@sonnyburnett8725]

That is such great work and thinking ahead to map out your circuit breakers amperage on each outlet was incredible. Your like a Mr Scott of the Enterprise. As a renter myself I would suggest renters insurance. Fairly inexpensive for all that you have there. Thanks again for sharing.

[@garrettthorn5048]

Very nice! you give me inspiration to build my own, but starting out seems like a daunting task.. i already feel overwhelmed!

[@HomeSimPilot]

Garrett Thorn I know exactly how you feel. I did a few months of research before actually starting. Hopefully the info im sharing can help you out even just a little 👌🏾

[@GreyGhost-r4z]

What an amazing job... wow. So which airplanes are your favorite to fly ?

[@okcpicker]

How did you incorporate dials into your primary instrument displays? I'm referring to your Air Manger instruments on the monitor built into your panel. I have a 4th monitor for Air Mgr. but it is a touchscreen. I really like your set-up!

Best explanation of the computer side. I am waiting until xplane 12 comes out to start building my system. I may use a raspberry pi 4 to run air manager with two 15.6 touch screens. Thanks for the computer run down. It is great to know what others are running before I build my computer.

[@HomeSimPilot]

jimmyred Thanks a lot im glad it helped! I almost used a raspberry pi too but ended up just using the second pc I already had. Xplane 11.51 beta was released yesterday. Ill be updating my system today and testing it out. Good luck with your build!

[@troymelnick2683]

That's a awesome eye for detail, I have been working on my private for years, and due to unforseen circumstances..(life) have been unable to finish at this time,....I have been considering the Virtual Reality as a alternative way,...but your option seems to be a viable option too....curious as to your thoughts on VR?

[@flynic3]

Extremely well done and impressive setup... the thought that went into this setup was extensive and well planned. I would be interested in knowing what this setup cost, if you wouldn’t mind explaining that aspect. I would assume it would be much cheaper than some of the commercially available options on the market, and I think it would be beneficial to show what results you have achieved on a certain budget.

[@watermouse9296]

His description shows how much it cost. ;)

[@flynic3]

[@Boeing767DriverAA]

Hey Man beautiful setup got a question I hope you or someone reading this might know.... But on the gauges/ Inst panel you showed how its actually a monitor behind connected to a computer managed by Air Manager....But the gauges have knobs ie: to adjust compass or HSI. How do they function if its a monitor????

[@ricksoutdooradventures5250]

You are a GENIUS !!! Really well done.....THANKS for sharing !!

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

Very cool, love your setup. How does the front panel computer talk to the Sim ? Is it built in through a network interface ?? I assume all the USB devices are known by FS2020 too ? How easy is it to get all these things configured ?

[@samel-amad7548]

Excellent set up. Very impressive and shows how passionate you are about flight sim. Thank you for sharing.

[@BobbyChastain]

This looks more like what I’ve been planning. This will help me a lot in my own build. Very nice! By the way, I live in San Francisco, so I appreciate that neighbor blinder. Plus we don’t have ac, so keeping doors open is important.

[@Robocline]

Man that's a great way to enjoy this quarantine time. I was thinking of doing something similar but I have a bunch of tablets laying around that I planned to use for most of the panels. Have you tried Xavion? I have watched the writer show it off and it looks really awesome for $10 a month. Just wanted to get your take. Great set up I'm envious.

[@HomeSimPilot]

I havent tried Xavion but ive seen some good reviews about it. For my first build, I used 2 ipads for all of the avionics which got the job done. If you got them laying around, you should definitely use those. Good luck with your build.

[@jascharl]

Damn my dude. I’m thoroughly impressed with this home setup. I’m kinda jealous. Great job.

[@KnowledgeNuggets-Togo]

Proud of you fam, that map circuit was genius

[@richardcollins3825]

Super sweet set up. Thanks for sharing

[@thegood9]

have you seen the "Knobster" to use with AM? It will make the knob turning easier! I have one, and it works just as advertised, with an outer and an inner dial... or are you already using them with AM on the 22" monitor with the glass guages?

[@HomeSimPilot]

I have seen the knobster but haven't done much research. The panel mask im using has encoders but they're very slow when turning. Is the knobster slow? And can you use more than one at a time or does 1 knobster control every gauge?

[@thegood9]

@@HomeSimPilot Well, it's pretty quick. You can use more than one, but, if you get a touch screen (and a 22" one is less than $200 on amazon), you can "tap" any knob and have the "Knobster" work those knobs. It's pretty accurate, and feels pretty well built. It comes with 4 screws or you can velcro it anywhere you want if you don't want to mess up anything. It's just another USB connection, and Air Manager recognizes it.

[@rpcraighead]

@@HomeSimPilot I use the knobster on a 23" HP touch screen. It's great! The only thing is that BUTTON sensitivity goes down if each instrument is too small... It would be ideal for me to have two touch screens. I've got a physical panel setup (all PropWash) but this one's great, because I can change the panel config to any airplane. I'm transitioning to CAP G1000 182s in the RW when this quarantine thing ends, so that's handy.

[@HomeSimPilot]

Jason Lee that sounds really nice. I need to get one. Thanks for the info!

[@HomeSimPilot]

Ron Craighead Thanks for the info. I want to make some changes and it sounds like the knobster is what i need!

[@mikebenton3462]

Hello. Love your videos keep them coming please. I just have one question. I am planning to build a similar setup. But I need to ask. What purpose does the circuit breaker panel serve? I've been flight simming for a little while now and have never needed to use it in game. (though I have yet to buy any add on aircraft) I like the realism and want to add one. But do you ever actually use it? Or is it more for looks and authenticity. I just wanted to get an expanded description from you. thanks again. Sorry if this is a long question.

Seeing how you have the 3 screens have you had a guess sit beside you during a flight a watch them react when you're banking turns?

[@mhoffman9546]

I love the simple yet effectiveness of your build. Since the monitors/TVs are large enough, did you consider putting the instruments up on them and not having a panel? I plan on making something like this as well, as my current setup takes up way too much space and I would like to make it easier to move. Great work!

[@HomeSimPilot]

Thanks! My very first sim I had the instruments on the screen. It was functional but I didn't like having to use the mouse and keyboard all the time.
