The Ultimate Budget Home Flight Simulator ?

[@rockerdad2]

I like what you have going here. The monitor with the guages, that system would be great for beginners ot just try out.. I see the guys who build an actual plane in there garage . lol whatever works for ya I guess. I would like to try to do this , for fun. great vid!

[@larrysouthern5098]

Great build K.I.S.S...keep it simple simple>

[@federicoruiz8197]

Great rig! What size monitor is that? Looks big!

[@leocadiamifumu6083]

What device did you use to install xplane? Mine doesn’t download on my macbook

[@reeferreborn3245]

Just a gaming PC with a I5 and a descent video card that can handle 3-4 monitors. I have an Xforce PC the guy has a channel and conducts all kinds of simulator test.

[@pykekubic1385]

Neat

[@leocadiamifumu6083]

also is the X force necessary? if it is, what else can I use instead of that

[@reeferreborn3245]

Any PC that can run 2 -3 monitors. so a good graphics card and I think a i5 processor or greater.

Can an older 2006 sony tv work for simulator

[@reeferreborn3245]

I am not sure what the difference would be between a Monitor and a Television. I would google it. probrabably the refresh rate. I would google it.

Do the have Garmin 650

[@reeferreborn3245]

not sure, I think by the time of this video a lot has changed in home sim.

[@leocadiamifumu6083]

I have so many questions that I don't know where to start. I am planning to set exactly this same flight sim but I'm kinda lost. did u use a specific app on the small monitor for the flight instruments?

[@reeferreborn3245]

that is Foreflight a separate ap that xplane can connect to and that is an iPad that my forflight is loaded onto. It is not connected as part of my PC, Xplane sends the data over as GPS flight data to it as if I am in the real aircraft. That yoke mount and iPad with forflight is what I use in the actual airplane, I can fly wherever before I actually ever do it for real.

[@leocadiamifumu6083]

Yeah I know about ForeFlight. I’m currently working on my instrument rating. I mean the little monitor that has the flight instrument. I didn’t exactly get how you did that on the video so, I wanted more information

[@reeferreborn3245]

The monitor is touchscreen from amazon and the program that it is running on it with Xplane is called Air Manager. When you touch an item on screen such as the Kollsman window or the knobs on the Garmin 430 you can then turn and push the inner outer ring knob called the knobster that you mount close by, that works with air manager, Also there is a great KZbinr named RussBartow a retired airline captain that really enjoys different styles of home Simms. you can get all your info from him. Goodluck on your instrument @@leocadiamifumu6083
