MSFS2020 FDS 737-800 Fully enclosed Home Cockpit Simulator Tour

After many upgrades over the last 6 months or more we are exited to share a brief tour of our sim.
This sim will be featured in our World Flight stream this coming November.
We do ask that you please keep in mind there is still plenty of work that still needs to be done in the sim. We just wanted to share our excitement and progress with you.
Reminder, this video along with others are simply test videos until advised otherwise.
There are still some issues we are trying to sort out such as the soft edge blending of our visual screen amongst a bunch of other things.
I ask that you please don’t ask questions pertaining to why things aren’t working or why does the screen look strange etc. Please take this moment to enjoy the sim tour.
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks.
For more information on the sim about software, hardware etc… head over to my website:
flywithrookie....
For your very own sim like ours or even better please head over to my good friend at Flight Deck Solutions and let them know FlyWithRookie sent you.

Yea. There is nothing short of looking at the environment telling you its not a real cockpit. I wounder how much of that stuff that is genuine and how much is replica

and when I see a video of custom setup like this and say there cant be anything better then someone says hold my bear. so far as this moment. this got to be most realistic setup I have seen so far well done sir. the love and attention to detail given to make this happen deserves praise.

[@Blu3Cruiz3r]

OMG. Unbelievable. I'm speechless. I'm 100% sure if you show this video to someone without mentioning it's a simulator - they'll have zero doubt that this is the real thing. Crazy.

[@picksellpaint]

I would practically live in it. Bravo! Keep up the amazing work. That there is a dream most of us flight simmers and pilots alike would enjoy!

[@OmnipotentEnt]

Totally agree! VR gets you pretty close to flying the real thing, but I'd love the physical cockpit even more because of the IRL 737 muscle memory. With how much this likely costs, you can train to fly the real thing :) Such a cool home cockpit. One of the best I've seen.

[@majoraviatior1611]

@@OmnipotentEnt this costs about 250k lol

[@BharatheeyaHindu]

@@majoraviatior1611😮 bro for that cost we’ll get an Rolls Royce

[@leonidasg0039]

The thing that makes a sim like this so realistic is the amount of light that enters the cockpit, and its outstanding. What screens did you use? They must be 1000+ nits!!

[@gregson99]

think he was shooting in low light settings as everything looks a little hazy and slow shutter speed

[@flaps4038]

The light is what makes a difference. My sim was so dark before and now it’s incredible when I added lighting to it!

[@hepphepps8356]

How could you tell if your screen is less than 1000 nits. This is fallacy, like the ones that think they can compare how loud different aircraft are on youtube.

[@keelanmccarthy5291]

My guess would be a Samsung Odyssey G95T Monitor or similar, those have 1000+ and HDR. They’re 49 inch curved monitors.

[@csebal]

I think he is using a projector there, possibly more than one. Either that, or HUGE screens and frankly, those would be prohibitively expensive even for a project like this, plus you should be seeing the seams where the screens meet. Even with debezelled displays, there is always a noticeable stripe where screens meet. Anyway, I think 2-3 projectors could easily yield the required brightness. Let's not forget, that this is a snowy scene, lots of white light to scatter from the canvas he is projecting onto. As I was looking for seams, there is a brighter area on the left and right of the front canvas, that is I believe where the projected pictures overlap a bit. A projector would also explain the somewhat "hazy", low detail look. Even a pretty high resolution projector picture can appear blurry when blown up to wall size and looked up from up close, which I think is happening here to give you the immersion of fully engulfing the view from the windows. Nonetheless, despite its potential shortcomings, I am sure that everything put together allows for a pretty awesome, immersive experience. As I said in my earlier comment: Time + Money + Obsession can make for great nerd-caves :P Would I have a bigger home, I would probably have something similar built for myself too :P Alas I live in the city where you simply do not have the real estate space for projects like this.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Best Sim ive ever seen on the internet. Level of detail is outstanding.

[@joemac5363]

I’m a captain of a major, undisclosed, secret, not telling, get off my back, really get off my back, ok ok, not really a captain, never flew a plane on my own, air line for 20+ years. And this is the most bad ass flight sim I have ever seen. Just wow, amazing.

[@Thomas1980]

Super nice Video 👍Thumbs Up 👍

[@lukasbauer586]

This is a dream place for every pilots to have one at home !

[@scottmcdonaldAAL211]

for about 100K USD you too can live the dream! The projection views are the only 'downer', 4K display QLEDs run rings around projectors IMHO, but as yet MSFS does not natively support multiple views. Sim burnout is a real thing though, eventually, even with something on this level you may be subject to 'burning out', that is, you get tired of flying sims. Even real world pilots get tired of 'driving the bus'. Resale is an issue with these monstrous sims. They are NOT simple to deconstruct and move, the wiring and hardware connections 'hidden behind the panels' is NO can of corn. The 'wow factor' of hardware sim at this level is very high though. It blows away the 'average' home sim cockpit, and it should, for what it costs. Setting one up, even if money is no object, is a challenge.

[@thehunterstruck]

This is amazing. The time and effort that went into this is insane. Def wanna see more videos like this

[@chadhowell417]

I thought this was just the actual cockpit. This is like 100/10

[@OldGregg00]

That is an amazing setup that I can only dream to attain! Now all you need is a passenger sim with a little first class area for the family to enjoy simming as well! :D

[@flare242]

Wow. This basically looks like you cut off 737 cabin and somehow crammed it into your living room, lol. Looks amazing. I won't even ask how much did it cost to set that up or how many computers are needed to run this. I'm amazed even more by the fact that it runs with MSFS, which is still a fairly new sim, with not exactly established DIY pipelines. Must have been a lot of work. Amazing. Really fascinating.

[@oblitafier]

It's bought from a supplier. check the description.

[@HonkeyKong54]

Someone did do that though. An older model was going to be scrapped so this guy cut the cabin off and put it in his garage. He even kept original panels and did some soldering wizardry to make them work with the simulator he uses. It's insane.
