[@jaysonsimpson3820]

the added lights look great, seems to work really well

[@Blandy086]

Have followed this project since its beginning and am absolutely amazed at the quality you have produced. How many emails have you had from people requesting you to build one for commission?

[@DoRC]

Been following this project for years. I'm not into simulators myself but definitely love seeing the updates!

[@thegreenchicken8220]

whenever I watch your videos the cockpit just keeps on getting cooler, keep up the amazing work mate

[@casoblantly]

I love the dynamic ambient lighting filling the cockpit! Such a simple effect but incredible results for immersion and realism!

[@dushanthap674]

Im just blown away by your work and Sim. Really outstanding. You should consider installing movements to it.

[@Datttsnake]

Motion unless it was only seat motion would wreck the screen calibration

[@dushanthap674]

@@Datttsnake Understand. But awesome setup still Sir. Really awesome!

[@Ratty_RO]

Another great year ahead

[@hobbytechgear4574]

Admired your consistency working on the project for many years😊

[@RainmanHST]

Great idea on the dzus replicas and furniture nuts. Also nice details on the ACES. I’d say the only thing left for you to do is add your seat rails.

[@thesimnet]

This project is always so inspiring, thank you for sharing and Happy New Year!

[@richkidd1263]

This is hands down the coldest thing I’ve ever seen!!! Dude you could charge admission for this

[@keithmitchell6240]

Great video as always. The BASIC SERIES got me into making my own pit, so eagerly awaiting part 4.

[@99AudiMan09]

This is my ultimate goal, just with an F/A-18C cockpit. Currently have a Sim racing rig with triple monitors that doubles as my DCS flight sim rig. But ONE DAY, when I can have a room dedicated to sims...I will build a full fidelity DCS cockpit like this. Great stuff man!

[@steher1610]

same its soo cool its a life time goal for me

[@d3us3xmach1na5]

You going to go Openhornet?

[@99AudiMan09]

@@d3us3xmach1na5 not sure. I'll probably start expanding by going the WinWing MIP route first. Maybe get a 3D printer at some point and learn how to do Arduino stuff and build the side panels. Ideally I want a Sim Racing Rig and a separate Flight Sim cockpit. But for now it'll have to be one modular unit

[@badialilp]

Complements of the season to you, Warthog Project been watching your vids for a long time and your A10 project is absolutely awesome May 2024 be the year to bring many more Dcs World A10C-II content from you.

[@bigav8r]

Thanks for expanding our general knowledge of so many instruments.

[@baconbooger4256]

I involuntarily took about a year off from playing and building. Between rewiring the consoles to get away from arduinos and over to Leo bodnars (right console 100%, left console 60%, mip 0%) and then moving houses it’s been tough to find the motivation. But I recently got one of the meta quest 3s and discovered the joys of vr. I got the mixed reality to work but the software doesn’t play nice so it doesn’t work well enough yet but I decided to move forward in preparation for the varjo xr4 being released to consumers or other MR developments. It’s reinvigorated me. I think I’m going to change the cdu and arc210 screens to hdmi since I’m not going to go the projector route anymore. I’m also ordering an Aces 2 chair from neoengress since I just don’t have the skills to do the chair right like you did. As always, thank you for being a trail blazer, an inspiration, and a huge help on discord and your own site. It means more than you know

[@JohnSmith-xq1pz]

Best cold start ever 👍👍

[@dishdoggiegaming7254]

Another Great Video I grade it an A with a rating of 10 so the final score is A-10

[@thejetfighter]

Awesome setup! 😲

[@Nico_83]

I can't grasp the fact that Alexa really understands Aussie english.

[@goatinahole8998]

All you need now is a centrifuge!

[@Mr_Ender_84]

Can you do a tutorial on the Alexa startup? Love you work dude, so cool.

[@greg4367]

Greetings from San Francisco. Happy New year

[@PeterKNoone]

Nice job getting my Echo to start talking to me :)

[@PeterKNoone]

Also, it's just amazing work that you've done on this thing. Thanks for the videos.

[@rhys.ladouceur4107]

Live leak logo is crazy lmao

[@WhiskeyDale]

that buddy fox ufc is a nice piece. I have one.

[@AurelTristen]

That rocket cam ^_^ Looking great! The hue thing is exactly what I was thinking. It might be overkill for the additional processing, but I've considered trying to do a really low res monitor export to render a view from above (looking straight up). Maybe 128x128 pixels, and having Hue sample that in order to get light from directly above. But grabbing the top edge of the screen is probably close enough.

[@PolishFatBoy]

WOW just WOW

[@theflyingfool]

I guess the $300 price tag for the box is because it's a niche market. Still stings tho! Nice upgrades!!

[@LEAD-DISPENSER]

very cool

[@Chiberia]

lol I just noticed the LiveLeak logo... nice touch

[@CaptainMac]

Always enjoy seeing the progress on this. Any plans to transition to a motion platform?

[@andytraill]

This is beautifully insane. A10 always the best. Brrrr

[@godlugner5327]

Fun fact: you can change the activation word from 'Alexa' to 'computer' for added coolness

[@delayed_control]

You should consider getting the VPForce Rhino base for the stick at some point (and maybe their DIY kit to add FF to pedals too)

[@Polofour]

Can you do more of your basics and technical build videos this year please 👍🏼

[@imashaman-ei9ie]

in short you can have it better with VR all virtual and really 3D with higher resolution.. not to mention every single cockpit you can load into it

[@212caboose]

If I had the room and money, I'd build one of these and something similar for Battlemech games... FANTASTIC work!

[@deezNutz-sy1pp]

In 2025 he is gonna have a real A-10 in his room

[@GDViperWorks]

I have a question about your ACES II. How did you make the inertial reel rollers? Is there a stl or step somewhere for it?

[@flajflaj]

I was allways woundering if it is possible to add some rolling lamp that could spin 360* on some ring rails and cast sunlight/shadow on the instruments. When you fly upside down then it would dimm and get bright when you fly back to horizon. This would be awesome with adding a mixed reality (Quest3 perhaps).

[@73h73373r357]

I've been wondering lately if it would be possible to use some ar glasses (like hololens or something) to project the HMCD. I feel like that would add alot.

[@_Zaid]

Have you seen the hybrid simpit/VR setups people are doing with Reality Mixer? How do you think it compares to projects with pros and cons?

[@goatinahole8998]

Are you going to try out mixed vr with this thing?

[@FranchDressing]

have you considered making the hud an actual collimator?

[@mrschoko565]

dose this make u better in the game?

[@specter929]

budyfox's site isn't working correctly so not sure if they have gone or not

[@michaelanthony3776]

WOW! What else is there to say?

[@LalaPala-ml2or]

you should get meta quest 3 mixed reality

[@RavenCodex]

I cant think Iv ever had a DCS crash.... At least not one that wasnt instigated by 3 party equipment like VR..

[@GaryGraham66]

Followers may know my wife said NO. 2024 she said yes! (Since we now have a spare room because my son left home). My current employer said go on if you can, and donated the projectors! However my old employers said why?, just use ours. A10's hmm. Fixed wing, why? when AH64 is your forte.

[@n1cad]

what are the footprint dimensions ?

[@childofconvienience]

I really hope you plan to sell these! I bet there are whales out there that would pay big buck for this!

[@kitcho75]

Can i hire your sim for a few hours? 😀

[@TheEaglePilot]

whats up mate?

[@Demka03]

That's very cool. But why A-10 though?

[@MeppyMan]

Bbrrrrrrrrtttt

[@samuraidriver4x4]

Why not?

[@sporehux8344]

I'm guessing he found several buttkicker bass units laying around and thought "what can i build on top of this"?

[@LtShifty]

Have you tried augmented reality in this pit yet?

[@LtShifty]

I'm currently building a full F16 pit, and debating between AR and projectors. I'm leaning to AR given the F16, I can't imagine projectors are a fantastic experience in a dog fight(?)

[@sporehux8344]

i've seen some mixed mode experiments recently with the Quest3. soooo perfect for this pit kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ-rm4KEbtFjorc

[@tacticalbacon9877]

are there plans for a HMCS?? With a setup like this I think you'd have to have an actual helmet to put the display on xD

[@robertmantell1700]

Yo sell me this!!!!!

[@mynameisray]

One of the worst sim home builds I've ever seen

[@CptHarris]

They need to rework those explosion effects. The game looks stunning, but those effects kinda look "outdated".
