I don't know who you are, or where you are from, but you are AWESOME!! Forget the negative people! You did way better than I could, and you built your own fricking simulator!!!!!! Most of the people commenting can barely drive, let alone operate tools and machinery! You sir, have my respect , and keep living your dream ! Thumbs up to you...
I have a pilot friend, he works at Cathay pacific for Boeing 777s, this kind of thing was part of the training, the one he used he said it was about 700 thousand dollars
Very impressive! What some people fail to realise is that this is your hobby, it's your set up, it's your way of doing things. Each to their own! I imagine you have hours of fun using this and i say good luck with it all. Great video, great set up!
Wow here's a man dedicated to his hobby, fair play mate i hope it makes you very happy. The equivalent for me would be to build the entire font end of a McLaren F1 car or cockpit of a porsche 911 in the corner of my room, i can ony imagine what the landlord would say.... Keep doin what you do mate its nice to see someone enjoying their hobby and to hell with all the haters here.
I am pretty sure some people buy actual retired airplane cockpits and convert them, seen people do it with old car interiors for racing games so it's understandable that the people who have the means do this
Cockpit it self is quite nice, but: 1. Unarmed speedbrakes 2. Autobrake was in OFF position 3. In MCP SPD you should set V2+20 kts 4. Initial climb speed, was over the altitude speed limit 5. N1 was also on red, you should abort the T/O then 6. Thrust deceleration, below DECEL ALT 7. Flaps 5 for tanks full of fuel? You forgot about your seatbelts captain ;) Grets
Polski Symulator Actually, this should be checked individualy for every single take off bafore it. You can find it in airplane's FCOM or FCTM, can't remember now. It is defined for various plane and rwy/airport conditions. Fly with the wind!
Dude, I have to tell you, as a pilot and an avid flight simmer, you're my damn hero! I love the 737, and if you and I were friends I would totally co-pilot for you in this thing! How much fun would that be? So how did you set this thing up? What kind of computer, electronics, etc.? Just amazing!
I can't believe the amount of negative comments on here about your procedures. We are all learning and whatever they say, they can't take away from you that you have created a thing of beauty there - I am green with envy. Brilliant job mate.
I have a B737 800 Homecockpit now with "Prepar3d V2" Its a update from Lockeed Martin made. Now P3d with a fast Computer it runs very smooth. Check out a Video of my Selfmade B737-800NG which almost looks real
Barncules you need to build a add on to the man cave and make one of these ! You could pick up the parts from boeing which is just down the road from you !
Seriously impressive, you've done a superb job! Only one question though, any reason why you kept adjusting the throttles during the climb? Couldn't you just engage the autothrottle? Anyway good job, congratulations :)
cnsmooth Not sure if youre being a smart ass or serious... SO ILL JUST ANSWER TO BOTH! :D you can use something like Fraps to show your fps level as an overlay. And i am joking when i say 20 fps, because it looks laggy.
Seriously? That's what you get from this video? That he took off to late? I smell jealousy... This is awesome, I wish I had a plane like that at home... ANy donators?
Its cool he has that setup but if you gonna have that setup you best be good at the game lol. Ive been playing flight simulators games for more than 15 years and I cringed hard when I saw that late take off. One time in real life I was in a plane that barely took off before the runway ended as well, it was so weird.
Dude you got a really nice set up but there's also a lot of errors your making as the comments below stated. Your very through with your checklist and your set up but your take off was pretty poor. You needed to increase your lift and set your flaps properly for take off and set your altitude before you started taking off. Your moving way to quickly for your own good. Keep the pace slower and and make sure you set everything before you just blast the engines off. I just noticed your impulsively reacting in unsafe ways to be a pilot. Also you almost ran off the runway. You needed to pull up more aggressively and not so late. You don't want to have that happen in real life and crash your commercial airliner into a bunch of trees.
Guyss thank's for your comments but that checklist I found it in internet and y print it out every body criticize the checklist but nobody tell me hey these is a link where you can find the right checklist .yes I'm flying the default 737 because pmdg take a lot of FPS and I have only one computer .about the flaps I do set flaps 5 for TAKE OFF but the flaps gauge is fake doesn't work every body tell me the same with the flaps I always set flaps 5 for TAKE OFF ,what happened with the runways I did not know that wass so short .I have a little baby and the time is short to start all over again . Believe me I read all the comments and I get the best of it and I try to fix my mistakes but overall remember guys this is a simulator this is a Hobby not real life I'm not a pilot I'm a driver on the ground but I love the airplanes and I love to fly and little by litter you learn how to do things but it never going to be perfect I never went any school to learn how to fly I haven't got more time to make another video and sometime I think why are going to do another video if everybody what they see are the mistakes and sometimes the comments are really stupid and nasty well I guess this be long enough and thank you for the nice and constructive comments . HAPPY NEW YEAR every one
karelgb1 Yes i know and is indead not a plessure to get this command, but the goal of a simulator is to make it real as gets, that is why you get this commands, and i realy like your cockpit but with a Default plane you not going anywhere, already tried Prosim737 that is only for simulators like yours. then you can fly it like a boss haha
karelgb1 To be honest mate I understand what you're doing.. You do it for the enjoyment. You don't strive to make your equipment 100% accurate with the ambition to be a pilot. You simply enjoy the moment of the Flight simulator game and enjoy having that for one moment of your life, just like we all do when we play Rally games etc... We all play them at arcades. Sadly you have been a Victim of the RUclips masses who do not understand that writing is always miss-read. Some people write bluntly; especially the people who know the knowledge and notice mistakes within others work straight away. Listen to everything that someone has to say, Yes 90% of it might be bull crap to you for many diverse reasons... but listen! Somewhere within that crap there will be a piece of knowledge that you will benefit from knowing. Know all them times when you speak to a mate and bounce idea's or knowledge and you both learn?? That's how we learn as adult people. TAKING OFFENCE IS A CHOICE JUST LIKE BEING HAPPY OR SAD DON'T BE OFFENDED AND THE YOUR LIFE WILL BE A LOT SMOOTHER.. Continue your video's of this I would like to see how it is now? All them comments that put you off making more was said to you to for a reason. Learn from what was said don't allow them to stop you. The meaning of life is to create meaning. Everyday you do so, everyone does so because of this we all ask questions and share knowledge creating meaning and in turn we EVOLVE. Don't be offended and put off what you enjoy doing. Have a great day mate... I hope to see an update of your cockpit soon. :)
To build a realistic simulator can i use a real aircraft with real engines and take off from a real airport? Or am I not allowed that level of realism?
***** What if I was watching 'Airplane' and I pretended I was Captain Ovuer, and imagined myself landing the airplane with the help of Lloyd Bridges...... Would that be a simulator?
+Cameron Putt He makes some very valid points.....Disturbing, but valid. If I was pretending to be a Nordic farmer from times gone past, but dressed myself in a purple, kinda blue-ish dining gown and began calling myself, The Druid from hell....Would that infact be me simulating a derranged psycho-path or would that be just me being me? I mean in one sense it's virtual because I am 'simulating' this reality, but at the same time, IT IS reality..... I mean, I need an answer fast because I'm heading out to town soon amongst the general population, and I don't think they are aware that I pose a significant threat.
+Sadik Meah That's a real sod of a riddle you have just posed. While I am no mathematician or theoretical physicist, I do have a pretty large Penis. So I can be pretty confident of my assertions on matters of a highly non trivial nature like this one. My assertion is that yes....I do infact....Have an enormously large Penis. I hope this settles the matter and we both are now able to endure the night ahead.
madzangels Well done YOU! My penis on the other hand is rather less imposing, but my girlfriend pretends it is much larger. Plus she turns off the lights and pretends I'm Harry Styles out of One Direction. After all as this video suggests, imagination is a fine thing.
Questions? Flaps: Set to 0 Takeoff: Right hand of throttles on climb? Flying off runway then taking off. Nice simulator. I would suggest instead of spending the money on that, I would get a Private Pilot's license and fly in real life. Have fun and a great day!
The most common flap settings for takeoff on a 737-800 are 1 and 5 and if you'll notice, he sets the flaps to 5 in his pre-takeoff checklist at around 5:28 in the video. And as far as the hand not being on the throttle during takeoff. It's probably because he doesn't have a co pilot present to have hands on them or the yoke. And it appeared that he had the plane off the ground before the runway ended, although it was close.
dhutchinson86 Yes, flaps are anywhere from 1 all the way to 15 on takeoff (depending on weight and weather). Still, there is no excuse to not have your hand on throttle at all times, especially when there is no co-pilot. Learned that my second hour of flying in a Piper Warrior II. If you need that for a plane so small, then for a huge plane, of course you need it. It's the same as throttling up to full (which burn out your engines, another failure. The max ever should be 90%N1. Above that, you are using emergency power, reserved for only....yep... emergencies. Above 95%N1 for 120 seconds would break your engine. ) You comment contradicts itself. "And as far as the hand not being on the throttle during takeoff. It's probably because he doesn't have a co pilot present to have hands on them or the yoke." What? You keep one hand on the yoke, the other on throttle. Otherwise, you have chaos in the cockpit. I just read an article in the monthly AOPA column, with a small airplane accident, because the 25 year veteran ATP was trying to fly, while the CFI was controlling the throttle. On landing, the plane impacted the ground and tore the wheels off. An old saying, " To many chefs spoil the broth" :) Have a wonderful day dhutchinson86! Take care and best regards, Igor
Igor B Its a simulator ffs, he probably doesn't have 100's of hours behind him., maybe he cant (color blind etc). Having fun and embracing aviation in a different way. The guy is showing off his toy (an awesome one at that) and enjoying himself, its not an instructors video on how to fly a real 737 to within an inch of its life. The internet is full of "Mavericks/Topguns/channel-trolls" and I have a pain in my balls with it to be honest
Your definetly right! I just got technical and started doing my pilot things :D Thanks for the reality check :) BTW: I love FSX too and have build something similar to this, being my geeky computer nerd self. Frankly, I overlooked what you said and it's perfectly right. Some people aren't as fortunate as others. I am grateful everyday for what I have. Have a wonderful week! Kind Regards, Igor
Slight precisions about 737 basic settings cockpit looks great but when you do a checklist you gotta crosscheck every item you've set FLAPS 5 but FLAPS Indicator is showing flaps UP. Your speed should be set initially to V2+15 not 250 kts on the MCP speed bug on PFD shows set to 0kts and last thing Autobrakes should be set on R/TO Innsbruck RWY is quite short better have it in case on engine failure below V1. I don't know how you've set the FMS and you take-off weight but engine indication should not get into the red zone. When using Medium or Heavy jets on short runways better use the full runway length you left the ground almost at the end of the runway (which is not that safe) your height over opposite threshold should be at least 50 ft 300 m of backtrack is not long. Thrust reduction is made too early keep T/O thrust until 1500ft or the height indicated by the FMS for THR RED. Those are just advises even if it's a sim try to make it as close to reality. Otherwise you've got something very interesting for simulations. :)
tunisianenergy do you have a a cockpit for flight in your house? are you a real pilot ? I'm pretty sure not,if I move it's because I have blood in my body that means I am Alive and instead to be criticizing people I spend my time flying the way I wanna fly in my own sim have a good night mister pilot
+karelgb1 Real airline pilots don't waste the first 1500 feet of a runway. That's why he was in the grass on the end. If I did that 70 people would be dead.
what do u mean? if the pc can run this it is good. he doesnt need to spend money, but just a few tweaks! what a shibal. if u want to not make any constructive critisism, dont watch!
well, omsi and ets2 players have the wheels and pedals, elite dangerous players have their joysticks, minecraft kids have their windowx xp laptops, fsx players have fucking simulators built into their home and i have a keyboard and mouse
I don't understand people who dislike things for no reason, I don't know what they are looking for to like things? I appreciate everyone's work no matter how they did it. I appreciate you cared sharing your work with us, well done man thanks for sharing ☺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☝👍👍👍👍👍☝👍👍👍
Yes men I don't know, I guess they are jealous because they can't make it, and the only thing they do is criticize a lot of haters in RUclips,good things is still are people like you that overwrite those haters with positive comments thanks
could anyone please explain to me why people prefer to spend a lot of money for a "home made" cockpit instead of spending the money for a private pilot license and fly real airplanes?
Do you think a private pilot license is easy to become? It's not cause u paid that kind of money that u sure will have that license, if u not past the test there goes your money. If u invest it in a flightsim u have lot's of fun for the rest of your life.
Vosje76 a privat pilot license isn't that hard to get. I agree that the theoretical exams can be challenging but once you've past them the world is open. After that (and even before), flight lessons can start and although you have a flight instructor next to you, you will have lots of fun. I simply can't imagine that a simulator can give you the same satisfaction than flying on a real plane. No matter how big the effort is to get a license, it is absolutely worth it. I can only recommend it ;)
Luca Privatpilot I believe that :), it's my dream to achieve such a license, and I still have lot's of time to do that, but in the meanwhile, one can prepare himself for the challenge by investments like these, let us say the next best thing to real life flying. I guess u have that license already?
you don't have to worry about the fuel, the parking / warehouse or anything really. sure, it's a considerable investment to do it like this, but when its done like you want it, you get to hop to your sim-cave every time you wish, and not have to worry about details. i mean, can you park and then fly the real plane from your driveway?
That's exactely the point. Flying is a lot about details, such as fuel calculation, mass and balance, aircraft performance and density altitude, just to name a few parts of the flight prepararion. They are as intresting as the flight itself. The more details you take into consideration, the better and safer will your flight get. If you do not care about details, please keep flying your simulator. 😉
you are a bit of a dick sir. guy never claims to be a real commercial pilot. a lot of hard thought and work went into the project resulting in a pretty good simulator and all you got is that wise ass answer?
HI, I really like your home built cockpit mt friend. I watched it many times. It gave me inpiration. I'm also in the process of building my own. Blue Skies!
This is pretty awesome
Do It With Dan holy shit its dan

They are given flight training to operate planes. I'am a 16 and I can fly a Cessna alone. Btw I appreciate his work.
He took off without flaps.

i'm just like where tf is this guy going w this , he needs to shut the ... oh lmfao
Whats up your air plane
Haha I know right??
Oh my goodness, this is incredible. You should be extraordinarily proud of what you have built, it's stunning. Happy flying! : )
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Nice comments about a nice job :)

Looks like My Dream very nice Home Simulator :) see you Pilot
Very impressive! What some people fail to realise is that this is your hobby, it's your set up, it's your way of doing things. Each to their own! I imagine you have hours of fun using this and i say good luck with it all. Great video, great set up!
The fact that you made the co-pilot yoke move with the main pilot yoke is AMAZING work.
Wow here's a man dedicated to his hobby, fair play mate i hope it makes you very happy. The equivalent for me would be to build the entire font end of a McLaren F1 car or cockpit of a porsche 911 in the corner of my room, i can ony imagine what the landlord would say....
Keep doin what you do mate its nice to see someone enjoying their hobby and to hell with all the haters here.
preach!
+l34052 Youv'e given me an idea thanks
Good Lord, amazing! I had no idea how realistic home cockpits have become over the decades. Splendid job. Now, all you need is an inflatable co-pilot.
I am pretty sure some people buy actual retired airplane cockpits and convert them, seen people do it with old car interiors for racing games so it's understandable that the people who have the means do this
Very beautiful simulator! Keep it going and happy flying!
Very good demonstration.....lots of folks interested because of recent missing 777.
Thanks for posting.
Cockpit it self is quite nice, but:
1. Unarmed speedbrakes
2. Autobrake was in OFF position
3. In MCP SPD you should set V2+20 kts
4. Initial climb speed, was over the altitude speed limit
5. N1 was also on red, you should abort the T/O then
6. Thrust deceleration, below DECEL ALT
7. Flaps 5 for tanks full of fuel?
You forgot about your seatbelts captain ;)

In 737 V2 + 10.
in 777 vs + 15.
Im not sure, but i think 747, have VS + 20. But im not sure!
Polski Symulator Actually, this should be checked individualy for every single take off bafore it. You can find it in airplane's FCOM or FCTM, can't remember now. It is defined for various plane and rwy/airport conditions.

Why is the frame rate so bad?
It's an old game, and it does not know how to take advantage of the hardware.
I have a B737 800 Homecockpit now with "Prepar3d V2" Its a update from Lockeed Martin made. Now P3d with a fast Computer it runs very smooth. Check out a Video of my Selfmade B737-800NG which almost looks real

Yup just watched your video and your video is way smoother.
because of the cinematic effects, didn't you know about that?

I just watched a video of a real dash 8 take off from innesbruck and this looked so close. Great job!
Pretty good home cockpit. Good work.
Makes me want to take up flight sim again!
looks awesome, I would take this over VR honestly.
Getting a whole 20 FPS! Wow! Totally worth $20000+
Try getting anything more in FSX.... It just doesn't work
Hey, I'd trade 60fps for a home cockpit anyday.
Just curious how czan you tell the fps
cnsmooth Not sure if youre being a smart ass or serious... SO ILL JUST ANSWER TO BOTH! :D
you can use something like Fraps to show your fps level as an overlay. And i am joking when i say 20 fps, because it looks laggy.

This is great, Having a cockpit at home really helps you wanted to fly in real life!
that looks so realistic! Nice!
Very nice man just remember next time to set your flaps to 5 on takeoff so you wont get so much haters :)
HE DID SET THE FLAPS
You clearly hear him set flaps to 5. Maybe all the haters need to open their ears.
Holy shit this is cool
Wow! That is just freaking AWESOME! Amazing job man wish i could do that.
Looks wonderful very nice job

Not only incorrect, but he missed a lot of the pre-flight checks.
Yep. One would think that having spent so much money on such a realistic cockpit, he could at least learn to use it correctly lol.

Flaps: Set to 0

I just read an article in the monthly AOPA column, with a small airplane accident, because the 25 year veteran ATP was trying to fly, while the CFI was controlling the throttle. On landing, the plane impacted the ground and tore the wheels off. An old saying, " To many chefs spoil the broth" :)
Have a wonderful day dhutchinson86! Take care and best regards,

Igor B Its a simulator ffs, he probably doesn't have 100's of hours behind him., maybe he cant (color blind etc). Having fun and embracing aviation in a different way. The guy is showing off his toy (an awesome one at that) and enjoying himself, its not an instructors video on how to fly a real 737 to within an inch of its life. The internet is full of "Mavericks/Topguns/channel-trolls" and I have a pain in my balls with it to be honest
Your definetly right! I just got technical and started doing my pilot things :D Thanks for the reality check :) BTW: I love FSX too and have build something similar to this, being my geeky computer nerd self. Frankly, I overlooked what you said and it's perfectly right. Some people aren't as fortunate as others. I am grateful everyday for what I have.
Have a wonderful week!
Kind Regards,
Igor
Give me a break. I HAVE my private/commercial license, and I'd LOVE THIS in my garage!
Awesome. Don't stop now. Think "higher". The space station is yours for the taking. Great upload, thanks for sharing.
The space station is a hoax
Numpty
WHAT AM I LOOKIN AT THRU MY TELE?
Awesome!! "Good Luck...we're all counting on you"! :)
Slight precisions about 737 basic settings cockpit looks great but when you do a checklist you gotta crosscheck every item you've set FLAPS 5 but FLAPS Indicator is showing flaps UP. Your speed should be set initially to V2+15 not 250 kts on the MCP speed bug on PFD shows set to 0kts and last thing Autobrakes should be set on R/TO Innsbruck RWY is quite short better have it in case on engine failure below V1. I don't know how you've set the FMS and you take-off weight but engine indication should not get into the red zone. When using Medium or Heavy jets on short runways better use the full runway length you left the ground almost at the end of the runway (which is not that safe) your height over opposite threshold should be at least 50 ft 300 m of backtrack is not long. Thrust reduction is made too early keep T/O thrust until 1500ft or the height indicated by the FMS for THR RED. Those are just advises even if it's a sim try to make it as close to reality. Otherwise you've got something very interesting for simulations. :)
I think the flaps gauge is just a dummy
Lucky man, wish i had the money to have one of these! i would never leave home
Holy cow,amazing.Could be used as a film set.
That is an awesome cockpit
50 knots taxi... Fast and furious pilot...lol
Bro, if u build it up in 60fps, that would be fuckin sick
C'est dingue. Beau bouleau. Unbelievable nice job.
awesome setup.
tunisianenergy do you have a a cockpit for flight in your house? are you a real pilot ? I'm pretty sure not,if I move it's because I have blood in my body that means I am Alive and instead to be criticizing people I spend my time flying the way I wanna fly in my own sim have a good night mister pilot
+karelgb1 ignore the troll my friend. jealousy is never nice!
+karelgb1 Real airline pilots don't waste the first 1500 feet of a runway. That's why he was in the grass on the end. If I did that 70 people would be dead.
+karelgb1 pretty cool sim though.
+Tom KD6SBR good comment!
+karelgb1 why bro. christian type folk can fly too.
with so many screens you need a lot of gpu power. A LOT! O_O
the gpu is bored, it´s more a cpu problem
its 2... thats nothing lol
Very nice cockpit! It is like a real plane. Very realistic!
As for enjoyment at home... awesome set up and nice job...
Where is your uniform, captain?
It's a home simulator and you don't need a uniform.
He's just sitting talking to himself
Ryan Kelly it's called role-playing
Brian Mcclane but still is, though...
Josh Smith yeah true
Ryan Kelly his not talking to himself his talking to the officer in tower to ask that he can take off now....
You are just sitting and WRITING to yourself. Stop hating!
Man, I wish I had the skills to build my own sim. Well done sir.
Super Fantastic - Just Loving it :)
Has money to build flight simulator, but doesn't have money to buy good pc for this. What the hell?
Or a decent mic for recording the video!
what do u mean? if the pc can run this it is good. he doesnt need to spend money, but just a few tweaks! what a shibal. if u want to not make any constructive critisism, dont watch!
+VX97 You are clueless.
+VX97 Look at the date of the video, 2012, and flight sims are pretty demanding even still.
he wants to fly an airliner
good very good but the take off is too late
Nice work dude
awesome setup bro...
hold my beer, I can do that.
how much does that thing cost?!?!?!?!?!?!
Vrashabh Doshi 36K €
damn man. thats sick! good job
Haha that is so cool! well done!
where is your co-pilot captain?
lol
well, omsi and ets2 players have the wheels and pedals, elite dangerous players have their joysticks, minecraft kids have their windowx xp laptops, fsx players have fucking simulators built into their home and i have a keyboard and mouse
great video!!
That iS an awesome setup. Bet it took alot of work to get it all together. You should be proud of this accomplishment.
very amazing simulator cockpit, but the procedures he did were just hilarious, come one dude seriously?
Awesome simulator well done, but once you've taken off wouldn't it get a bit boring, and next video please wear a pilots uniform and hat.
+Prawnchowmein Maybe he should make a take off and landing sim! Oh he has.
I don't understand people who dislike things for no reason, I don't know what they are looking for to like things? I appreciate everyone's work no matter how they did it. I appreciate you cared sharing your work with us, well done man thanks for sharing ☺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☝👍👍👍👍👍☝👍👍👍
Yes men I don't know, I guess they are jealous because they can't make it, and the only thing they do is criticize a lot of haters in RUclips,good things is still are people like you that overwrite those haters with positive comments thanks
nice job on your construction!
you are not in pilot uniform
Yash1one xdd
Yash1one
Lol
😁 this is game😭
change gpu or cpu because your frames rate are sucks but your cockpit is very nice ;) nice job!
Very good m8. Impressive
i like your dedication
Why in the world would you back off the throttle 6 seconds after takeoff?? You werent going fast enough to establish a positive climb rate,
Default 737.OP piece of crap ;)
During the take off I totally forgot that this was only a simulation...
I agree with you!!!
Dang that’s so cool. I need this!
Wow man, very good job with the real cockpit, amazing. :) Real gamer. :)
could anyone please explain to me why people prefer to spend a lot of money for a "home made" cockpit instead of spending the money for a private pilot license and fly real airplanes?
Do you think a private pilot license is easy to become? It's not cause u paid that kind of money that u sure will have that license, if u not past the test there goes your money. If u invest it in a flightsim u have lot's of fun for the rest of your life.
Vosje76 a privat pilot license isn't that hard to get. I agree that the theoretical exams can be challenging but once you've past them the world is open. After that (and even before), flight lessons can start and although you have a flight instructor next to you, you will have lots of fun. I simply can't imagine that a simulator can give you the same satisfaction than flying on a real plane. No matter how big the effort is to get a license, it is absolutely worth it. I can only recommend it ;)
Luca Privatpilot I believe that :), it's my dream to achieve such a license, and I still have lot's of time to do that, but in the meanwhile, one can prepare himself for the challenge by investments like these, let us say the next best thing to real life flying. I guess u have that license already?
you don't have to worry about the fuel, the parking / warehouse or anything really. sure, it's a considerable investment to do it like this, but when its done like you want it, you get to hop to your sim-cave every time you wish, and not have to worry about details. i mean, can you park and then fly the real plane from your driveway?
That's exactely the point. Flying is a lot about details, such as fuel calculation, mass and balance, aircraft performance and density altitude, just to name a few parts of the flight prepararion. They are as intresting as the flight itself. The more details you take into consideration, the better and safer will your flight get. If you do not care about details, please keep flying your simulator. 😉
shut up and take my money!!
Very nice video good takeoff👍👍👍
I'm so jealous. How cool.
*And thats how me and your mom got a divorce, son.*
when he take off on very end of run way... i'm thingking ohh ohh... next trip... Ship vacation
This is awesome!
You did Great job
u dont have any clue what to do in this cockpit do u? :D
lol
Taking off an flaps on 0 :D
you are a bit of a dick sir. guy never claims to be a real commercial pilot. a lot of hard thought and work went into the project resulting in a pretty good simulator and all you got is that wise ass answer?
98 jealous people
HI, I really like your home built cockpit mt friend. I watched it many times. It gave me inpiration. I'm also in the process of building my own. Blue Skies!
Amazing cockpit
