Part 1 - Tour of my DIY home cockpit for MSFS 2020. I modeled this cockpit (loosely) off the Cessna Citation Longitude with the Garmin G5000 avionics, but really it could be used with a lot of different aircrafts in the game.
Below are most of the pieces and parts used to build this cockpit with affiliate links to the items on Amazon. I linked the exact parts I used, but some things I did procure from local stores so you may not see those listed (building materials, fabric, etc).

I didn’t even finish the video, i had to pause it and tell you that this setup is AAAMAAAZINGGGGGGG. If I had THIS setup, my wife wouldn’t ever see me lol
Thanks dude!🤣🤘
Man, imagine a fridge full of beer and all the time you need .. last time I was flying a sim was back when I did it on a Commodore 64 (early 80s) haha :-)
NICE😂🤘
For me, the toughest part is programming all the functionality of the various systems. If you decide to produce further videos please consider a complete How-To on the electronic side of the kit. We’ll done!
Will do!
Love to see this. I was a software engineer for garmin aviation, including this airframe. Looking really great
No way, sick!!! Well then you'll appreciate the refresh I'm doing with it to make it fully scale to the real thing!@@TinyThinkerz
To be honest with chat gpt it became easy
Nice video
This is the only substitute i'd be happy with over vr. You can flip it to a space ship , a car ,a boat , or submarine
Submarine 😂😂🤘
The amount of customization and expandabilty people put into their custom cockpits absolutely amazes me.
Yeah, it’s a sickness 😩😂
This is by far the coolest home cockpit I've ever seen. So sick . Love the lighting , the layout is just so cool
Thanks! Hope to have some live stream flights coming from it real soon.... stay tuned!!!🤘
This is one of the coolest. There's some crazy stuff around like the guy who has a real boeing cockpit on his garage.
@@joca1378 yes! I’ve seen that dude! That’s a pretty hardcore setup.
Have you ever seen a real cockpit?
@@AlphaWolf198 Yes, I've seen a few real cockpits. I even travelled inside the cockpit of a small 12 seater in Africa when I was a kid.
One thing i did with a similar build I had done was get slightly larger screens and left a gap between the frame and the screens while adding a plastic window between me and screens. This , since the screens were larger than the frame window not only allowed a natural viewing change for minor head movements creating the illusion that there was more below the windows but also created alot more depth in perception .
Yep, considered this, but decided to go with them pushed up against. In my refresh of the cockpit, though, I will be doing a projector wrap around screen so it will allow for what you’re talking about👍🏻
Those side windows and the view you get from them - wow 🙌🏼
🙂🤘
Perspective on them is off though. Needs some adjustment.
@@darthmelbius Yep, check out some of the latest flight streams, it has been dialed in 🤘
As someone who hasn't played around with Flight Simulator since the late 80's/early 90's, this is mind boggling. What am I even looking at? And I thought some of the driving cockpits that people make are impressive. Just wow!
Thanks dude!🤘🏻
SKYTATION LONGITUDE COCKPIT v2.0: Coming soon (Fall/Winter 2023) I will be updating this cockpit into something a little more realistic, but also with some of my own creative liberties factored in 🙂 I will document the build via videos and live streams here on the Skytation channel. Stay tuned!
Sounds cool,
good luck
🤘🏻
The outside looks like a pillow fort I would make as a kid. The inside is a $400 million plane cockpit. Nice job bro
I have a Samsung neo g9 and a liquid cooled NZXT prebuilt with a 3080ti. You have similar hardware 👍 same monitor and tower.
That toggle clamp to hold the seat is just ingenious!
Yep, struggled for weeks trying to over-engineer some sort of genius design.... then went to my garage and said oh, that'll work! 😂
This is possibly, THE MOST DETAILED youtube video I have ever watched. Now i have goals for my home setup thanks to you
Right on dude!! 🤘🏻
YESSS, BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG, IM SO HAPPY YOU FINISHED THIS!!! GOOD JOB MAN!
Thanks bro👊
if you think about it, it's kind of like a set on a filming stage. The outside looks like this , then inside is better clean and streamlined.
At first I was like "what is this junk?" - as soon as you opened the curtain, my jaw HIT THE GROUND - WOW
🤣🤘
Step 1: Don't be a brokie like me
😂😂
We’ll just buy used stuff like me
This has to be one of the best home sims I have ever seen. Beaten only by people that have built near replicas of commercial airliners. I love the sinplicity and modern looks of your sim. Well done. I am still in the process of designing / making mine. But mine will be converting between work desk and flight sim. No room for a dedicated simulator space.
Yeah, that was definitely the first big decision I had to make.... do I go for ultra real, making every single button, switch, and lever perfect scale replicas? While that would have been cool, I thought it more wise to build something that I could always adapt with. As much as I'd like to say I only want to ever fly the Longitude until the end of time, I know realistically that won't be the case. I'll want to try out other planes and the stream deck button setup allows me to do that. It works best for my use case, and honestly that would be my number one tip for anyone wanting to build a home cockpit.... do what makes the most sense for YOU, not what everyone else thinks you should do.
@skytation I agree. I am going a similar route. I have two main touchscreens with, a knobster and two streamdecks between them. I should be able to immersively, though not realistically, control most planes. I am not studying to be a real pilot so it doesn't matter to me if the controls are of the right type or are in the right position compared to the real aircraft. All that matters is that they are there somewhere and intuitive to use.
@@flightsimdeskuk 100% Keep me updated on the progress, can't wait to see it!
You failed to mention the crab eye effect. Every home cockpit uploads on youtube show the camera in a fixed centered position which doesn't show it. The crab eye effect is when you're sitting in either the pilot or co-pilot seat and the lines don't line up with your seating position. A perfect example is taxing, taking off and landing. At 24:24 you can see it in your video during the taxi test, but for the majority of it your camera was filming from the center. Once in the air you don't notice it, but on the ground it feels like you're moving sideways thus the crab eye effect.
Yep, definitely a pain for sure, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I just set my view to the center and leave it for the entire flight. Like you said, really only notice it on the ground.
Incredible job here sir! Life is good on evenings and weekends for you! I just flew the Longitude for the first time a few minutes ago after upgrading to the Premium Deluxe version, what a beautiful cockpit (IRL and yours). I will be keeping an eye out for your upgrades to the cockpit!
Thanks for watching man! Yes, definitely stay tuned for more, also swing in for a livestream flight if you ever get a chance… Wednesday evenings around 9pm CST and Saturday and Sunday’s around 2pm CST every week!
For those wondering the monitor alone in the uk that main front window monitor is £2'000 without a single switch cable tie or curtain hook included.
Thats a serious dedication to go to all that effort and expense, Bravo on your commitment to flight sim.
🤘🤘🤘
What a lovely cockpit! The work gone behind the scenes can easily tell us with a quality cockpit you have. Cheers!
Thank you!👍 Yeah it was definitely a lot more than just building a structure, throwing a few seats in, and pushing some monitors up against the sides 🤣 Once I started down the rabbit hole, there was no turning back!
amazing! the side monitors are quite stretched because MSFS doesnt do multi-monitor support properly.
It’s the angle you’re seeing them from. The view is not stretched at all when sitting in the cockpit. The multi monitor support MSFS currently offers does ok, just wish each window’s view could be controlled independently.
Best thing sbout this type of setup is it could be easily adapted into other genres such as space sims. Great design
Thanks! Yeah my goal was to only ever fly the Longitude in the cockpit, but on the rare chance I'd ever want to fly something else it def can be set up fairly easy to accommodate other planes....or even other games like you say!
This guy is the Bob Villa of aircraft sim building
I prefer Tim the Tool Man Taylor, but thanks 🤣
Wow! My sim room is set up to move 3 sim rigs in front of a 65 inch monitor rigs: Playseat Formula Pro with T300 base and SF1000 wheel and TLCM pedals
Next level Racing F-GT with castors
castors combat flight pack with Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo and Logitech Pro flight rudder pedals and a playseat evolution with T300 base and Ferrari Evo Intrgrale and T3PA pedals for my truck simming and GT racing 😊
SICK!!!!🤘🏻
OP should REALLY let us know what kind of scene he met his spouse at--clearly ALOT of patience and love in this video, behind the scenes!! LOL Congrats!!
This is best setup I’ve seen in terms of both functionality and aesthetics. It looks amazing.
The part I can’t figure out is how you got your wife to pick up materials for the project while she was out. You need to write a book on that aspect alone.
😂
Very good , a clean modular look. I’ve been attempting to do the same to be able to switch between a GA Aircraft and a Heavy (Boeing 777/787). With your design I’ve been inspired to keep it clean and simple. Again, Great Job!!
Right on, can’t wait to see it!🤘🏻
This looks great, man! I just finished my type ride in the Longitude a few weeks ago and I’m really excited to be flying it. I’ll definitely be watching your channel to see all the cool stuff to come!
SICK! Yeah stop by the streams sometime, I need someone who flies these in real life to tell me what I’m doing wrong 😂🤘🏻
Love the setup!!!
I also started with the Thrustmaster pedals when I was a student pilot. After a while, one of the pedals just broke off... Then I ordered the SLAW Device Viper RX pedals, and never looked back. 😊 Tweaking/upgrading the setup comes with the territory; Virpil and VKB also make some awesome components for the sim... beware the rabbit hole goes very deep. 😂
Nice! Yeah I’m gonna design and built my own here in the v2.0 cockpit refresh 🤘
Labor of love.. great setup
why all that expense? why?
because.... why not.
this setup is Industrial grade and professional level. its not lagging behind the flight simulators of big corporations that I have seen on youtube.
please share a video if you get a visit by a former or serving commercial pilot and he/ she gives it a go and the review of this awesome work..
🤘🤘🤘
I was in the Royal Airforce at RAF Valley in Wales and spent hours in the Hawk sim that they use to train pilots .Eventually i got a few chances to actually get flights in the real thing . I was very lucky that i got to actually fly the Hawk with an instructor on what they call the morning weather flight .This was and is done every day to check out the weather before young trainee pilots fly for that day . So i now want to build my own home sim but simply don't have the IT skills to set up all of the screens and the controls . I know that there are some control mapping channels out there but they are far and few between . I love your set up great stuff.
Very cool! Yeah I had zero experience with any of this stuff when I started. Just took a lot of googling, a lot of researching videos, and a lot of reading. Eventually you just sort of "figure it out" hahaha. My best piece of advice, don't latch on to any one method or design. Take inspiration from all the ones you research and come upon, but make something that works for YOU. I got plenty of flack for not modeling every single switch, button, and lever after the real Citation Longitude, but that wasn't my goal. First off, I didn't know how to make/program all those individual buttons and knobs, but also I wanted something I could eventually switch between different types of planes if I wanted. And stream decks gave me that ability while still looking very cool in the process. So yeah, figure out what your end goal is first, and then just go from there! It's definitely a fun process....labor intensive and stressful....but fun🤣
@@skytation Hi Please could you tell me what USB hub that you are using . I have tried to find the official Honeycomb USB hum on Amazon buy they all say Xbox compatible no mention of the PC version . I live in Ireland and its impossible to get anything over here. Thanks
This is crazy. My homemade cockpit just involves a random sock.
😂😂😂
Beast Mode ! This is so awesome, and I love it, great job ! The taxi view is on point !!!!!
Thanks! Yeah I think all the fields of view are lining up pretty well! Now if they'd just optimize the multi-view feature so it didn't take such a toll on resources 😉
so nice lol and its DIY no way its so clean, modern, sleek and is just overall so so nice. I could not think of enough words to fully compliment this cockpit
Thanks man! Got an entirely new one coming soon!🤘🤘🤘
I just found your video. You are a godsend!!! You have links for everything!! Thank you!! I know you spend a lot of time putting up these links. Most RUclipsrs don't understand that putting up links for the items helps their videos. I hope you have a sponsor !!!
Cool thanks man!🤘 plenty more to come, refreshing the entire cockpit as we speak!
This video is almost a year old, but still neat. We definitely need some links to setting up the stream decks and screens to make everything work (like the 7" to the 3 11" monitos). Great job!
Thanks!
Awesome, enjoy it. Thanks for sharing!
THANKS!
This turned out amazing! So realistic.
Thanks!
I just discovered your channel today.
That cockpit design is premo man.
Really, great job 👏🏻 ❤
Thanks man!🤘It's actually in pieces right now, it's getting a full redesign.... stay tuned!
This was a fascinating video! Thank you for showing your setup in such great detail. Lots to take away and implement. I would love to see a video on how you set up your stream decks, especially the SD plus. Thank you!!
You bet, thanks for watching! Yes, I am currently working on a part 2 of the video that goes over a few of the details a bit more in depth, including the stream decks setup. Stay tuned!
Hi there. My wife and I have just watched this video. She said that your cockpit is the best home cockpit she has seen. Our son is A320 type rated and his son, our grandson, is an air traffic controller. We are very much an aviation family. I'm the poor relation, being a humble simmer...LOL.
Awesome, very cool! Thank you, and thanks for watching!
My favourite cockpit yet. Well done!
Thanks dude!🤘
I am blown away and subbed to your channel. I love the cockpit, it is great. Thank you for sharing it with us. My favorite plane is the Cockspur C510 Mustang small jet, and I could see myself flying it with a setup like yours.
That’s a fun little jet, the mustang. Thanks for watching, make sure to stick around… project transformer is about to get underway!🤘🏻
I bet this video is way better with voice over rather than live commentary. Great sim build too! Gives some inspiration about whats possible with DIY stuff. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed!
This is incredible! I’d really like to build something like this based on the RV-14. My kids and I have been enjoying some flights together so this would be a project we could work on together. Keep up the great work!
Excellent! Yes, projects like this are definitely memory makers and great time to spend with the kids.
What an excellent setup. The air vents are great.
🤘
Very nice! I'm building a cockpit myself, this is great inspiration! I am using xplane though, computer isnt strong enough for msfs. I love the lighting and extra gimmicks, makes the whole thing look absolutely beautiful.❤
Thanks, can't wait to see to what you come up with!
Looks better than any Flight Deck! Airbus and Boeing scratching their heads in the Office:)
😂 Boeing and AB about to invest in a LOT of stream decks!
Looks great. Really like the clean layout.
Thanks!🤘
Very nice, very practical lay out, aesthetically pleasing and i would imagine a joy to use. Many of these DIY contraptions are just weird and creepy, yet this marvel ticks all the boxes.
Thanks dude 🤘
Woah chill bro, it's not that serious, it's just a game. Just kidding, I love that setup man! Good job! I bet it feels so real when you are sitting in there.
Ah yeah man, it’s awesome, I love it 🤘
That is one incredible home setup! Kudos to you! Great to have a 3D printer for custom parts! All the best from Canada!
Thanks! Make sure to stick around, it’s going to get MUCH better here in the next couple months. Stay tuned!
Floored by this! Thank you for the video and outstanding simpit
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is one of the best-looking home simulators. Hopefully you never have to move.
You're telling me! 😧 Hahahaha
just bought a thrustmaster HOTAS for my flight sim, i'm good for now but damn!
That's one impressive setup you have there
Nice, you’ll enjoy it🤘
Incredible :) have fun with it, it's a really great job mate, cheer from France
Thanks!!!
Mate this is such a nice setup. Love the aircon too. It’s tempting me to make one
Go for it!!!🤘🏻
Fantastic cockpit!! Beutiful work!!! 😃👍💯
Thanks! Inspired by your home cockpit 100%, been following you for several years! Really liking the recent vids you've been putting out. Have you upgraded you visuals, or are you just using a single front screen/tv?
1 front view only still. Djort throw projector. Thinking about using a fisheye lens and building a curved screen. We had a curved screen years ago but it was pointless. Theres not enough space for more projectors but s projector eith fisheye lens might work. Or we try a similar setup as your setup. Do you have a how to video about your outside view setup??
Yeah, I considered projectors as well, but I had heard some people say the lackluster resolution isn't worth having the bevel free views. My monitors weren't anything special, the 49" curved front I had running at 5120x1440, and the two side views were 34" ultra wides running at 2560x1080. I chose them specifically because I wanted them to fit the window cutouts and essentially act as the actual "windows" and not just monitors. Worked ok, I enjoyed it, but in the rebuild here I think I'm going to go for TVs, that way I can get a little bit more screen real estate, but then also have them set back from the window openings a little more to allow me to look out and around. Also going to shoot for 4K. Doubt my PC is going to be able to handle three 4K outputs, but I have some ideas for that, we'll see!@@per-davidalm1434
GREAT LOOKING SIM!! VERY CLEAN LOOKING!! Thanks for showing your baby!!
Any time!
Cool flight Cockpit mate 😀
Thanks bud🤘
Just found your channel, talk about the WOW factor, impressive.....
Thanks bro🤘
That's a cool build! Good job!
Thanks 🤘
Beautiful. This could get me out of VR for sure.
Nice, thanks!
You deserve a million views man. Great job!
Thanks for watching man!🤟
Brilliant setup, inspiring stuff. Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is incredible!!
Thanks man🤘🤘🤘
this is awesome man!
Thanks dude!🤘 stay tuned for a completely updated build coming here in the future
Dude. You living the dream.
Hell yeah brother 🤘
Simply amazing! Thanks for the tour. This is the only kind of setup that could ever get me out of VR I think. Unlikely to happen any time soon though. 😅
🤘 yeah VR is tough to beat!
I saw the exterior and thought you were crazy.
Then you pulled open the curtains and angels started to sing...
Bahahaha, love it. The next iteration will have a more "finished" exterior to say the least🤘
That’s awesome! ✨👏🏽✨
Thanks dude!
Very cool, man!!
Thanks!👍🤘
Amazing setup
🤘🏻
Wow, this is nicer than my house!!!
I cant thubs up this enough. Love the set up. 👍👍
Thanks man, much appreciated. If you liked this, stay tuned to the channel for "project transformer".... even MORE home cockpit goodness!
Awesome build!!
Thanks!👍
This is impressive. Nice job!
Thanks!🤘
THATS SO COOL! I WISH I HAD ONE!
Thanks man🤘
Super device here! Nicely done!
Thanks!!
This thing is amazing. probably could have bought a real plane for the price of this setup! Well done!
lol not quite 😂
Well now that is just too damn cool.
🤘
Thats awesome man
Thanks man!🤘
beautiful setup! must feel so fun to fly in
Absolutely it is! Plenty of flight videos coming soon!
Ho Lee Fook! That's thee setup right there.
🤘 thanks bud
That's so impressive .Wish that you lived close by . I would have asked you how to put something like this together . You must have a great level of tech knowledge . Super cool.
😀🤘
Gorgeous finish. Wish i had the skills. Good job :)
Thanks!
W.O.W. The best home simulator I've seen
🤘
QUE ENVIDIA!! jajaja Lo felicito! muy buen trabajo, espero lo este dsifrutando!! Saludos desde Argentina
Just ran into this vid and I like solving problems. ..lol.. You could try a curtain track mounted on the ceiling that would nicely shimmy around the periphy. Another easy thought would those stand up room deviders or even office deviders just too have this whole thing be less distracting and clean up for the outside. my 2 cents. Nice vid!
That’s a great idea with the ceiling slider mount. Right now I have it on the outside on a rod but I like your idea much better, gonna look into it.
Yeah the outside I’m actually planning on finishing. Just basically panel it all up with a nice coat of paint so it looks finished. Also get some order to the cables. I mainly wanted to give it a good 6-12 months of break in time so I could use it, see what changes needed to be made, and then once I was happy with it then do a complete “finish” including the exterior. My wife will certainly appreciate that 😂
this is awesome dude!
Thanks man!🤘🏻
Now all you need is a actual; Ator box and some servos for underneath the whole unit 3 footer and a raspberry board for actual movement for pitch and yaw. download and program a patch to the board and bam your have a full sim. very nicely built buddy👍
Haha yeah I wish, but full motion I think is a bit over my head.... would be cool, though!
Use electric jacks for campers. 12v you need 6. Look at videos of airline trainers. It's less complicated than what you've done so far. You could have the movements activate from physical movements in the controls. Power it with 12 volt battery chargers. Run it through your fake fuse box and make it a real fuse box or don't.
Your Cockpit looks so cool. 👍
🤘
WOW just finding your channel it's awesome setup id love to have that setup.
Thanks for watching!
Beyond Impressive. I vow, some day and I mean some day - I will never afford this but I wish !
🤘🏻
As someone who has never played or experienced Microsoft Flight Simulator, my opinion doesn't matter, but dude, I'm gonna be SO mad if you don't have the inflatable Autopilot from Airplane!
Edit - Do flight simulators have a "Distraction training" mode? Where, you'd just be doing... whatever you usually do in the simulator -- I imagine it's not a "video game" that you can "win" but, I digress -- and every four and a half minutes, you just hear Leslie Nielsen, "Just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you."
🤘thanks man
for me..this all makes sence , if i VR didnt exist....:P , i know its better quality...but since i tryed vr its another world., nice rig!
Thanks 🤘
love it, this is super cool!
🤘
@9:09 nobody will laugh at you. This is a fantasticly well made hobby project with tons of cool stuff and thought in it. For me, it hasn't to be a 1:1 replica of the real thing.
Thanks man 🤘
Thanks!
Thank you dude, much appreciated! 🤘🏻
