      @@captaintango I have a buttkicker for my floor which vibrates up through my controls and 4 smaller transducers attached directly to my seat. But you can also use a insert for your seat if you don't want to modify too much. See review link ruclips.net/video/z6yPwjJ-MJk/видео.html .

    Appreciate if you help this way, best to you CK

    • @captaintango
      @captaintango  10 месяцев назад

      The cockpit uses a total of three computers: one for the visuals (3 TVs) and two for the cockpit instruments (split between Captain and First Officer). You can find more information about the setup at www.flightpathsimulation.club/blog/a320-cockpit/
      All three TV screens run out of a single RTX 3090. That was a little bit of a gamble but I am able to run everything in 4K at 30-60 fps. It does require a little bit of tradeoff, especially on the anti-aliasing side, but overall I am happy with the result.

    • @captaintango
      @captaintango  6 месяцев назад

      Two different screens (with no bezel) are used for the instruments, one for the PFD and ND, and one for both ECAM, the ISIS, and the DDRMI. Both types seem to me like some sort of general-purpose OEM screens but they are not easy to find and, in my case, were directly supplied by Vier-Im-Pott (supplier of the cockpit). They also provide the matching custom brackets that allows full adjustment (horizontal, vertical, and vertical angle). They tightly fit in the space available.

    • @captaintango
      @captaintango  7 месяцев назад

      Vier-Im-Pott can provide the flood lights but I bought mine directly from Amazon as that was more cost effective. The knob to control the intensity of the flood lights is on the pedestal (on the Captain side) and works once you connect the appropriate output from the Skalarki board (they have a centralized board to control power and backlighting distribution for the pedestal). The two flat black knobs you see on the video are provided with the FCU and control the intensity of the FCU backlighting and of the FCU displays. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any additional questions.

      I did use some products from Opencockpits in the past (737 MCP and EFIS) and liked them. Still I feel like the Skalarki products are more detailed (higher fidelity). Note that the A320 seats I used are from Opencockpits. Also I am not sure if Sismo Solutions offers any products for the A320. In any case selecting a specific supplier is a complex balance between quality, fidelity, price, support, etc.

    Got to say AWESOME!!! How much did this cost to build

    • @captaintango
      @captaintango  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks. The cost can vary quite a bit based on level of details, options, vendors, shipment, taxes, etc. But unless you build a lot of it from scratch it's easily around the price of a high-end car.

      The first aspect I would suggest looking at is a rough budget and what plane you'd like to model. I have a video regarding the cost of my cockpit: ruclips.net/video/ZeIV5dp3UBo/видео.html

    I'am still in doubt for building my own cockpit. 737 or A320. both has pro and con's. (no not the sidestick vs yoke) Space requirments, costs, things you can make by yourself. Does someone have advise?

    • @captaintango
      @captaintango  Месяц назад

      Here are a few things I would suggest considering, in no particular order:
      - What sim would you like to use for the visuals and what aircraft model is available for that sim. Ideally you want a high-fidelity model (flight model, systems, failures, etc.) designed for cockpit builders so that it can run across multiple computers.
      - Level of complexity: having motorized throttles and mechanically linked yokes add complexity (and the later requires additional space below the platform supporting the sim).
      - How much automation do you want the airplane to have.
      - It might sound like a minor detail, but the type of seats and how they operate (electrical or mechanical on rails) might be important to you.
      - Any particular operator you want to "fly for".
      These are on top of things such as price, vendor reputation, parts availability or "build-ability", and personal preference of course, just to name a few.

      The wiring for the overhead is mostly flat ribbon cables for the data and wires for the power and backlighting.

    I keep trying to build a cockpit but sadly they don’t look good because the brands are mixed so we’ll have blue, black and grey controls. With different colour lights and it doesn’t looks realistic this year I am looking into a single aircraft to do it but I’m not sure which one either the Boeing 737, 757 or 777 possibly even 787

    • @captaintango
      @captaintango  7 месяцев назад

      Most of the USB devices are connected to (industrial grade) powered USB hubs. A few, such as the sidesticks or rudder pedals, are connected directly to the main PC (that's just my preference). In addition to that, power supplies (plugged into the wall) are required for powering the electronics, the backlighting, and the stepper motor for the trim wheels. The electric seats have their own dedicated 12V (10A for each seat) power supply.

      Sorry for asking so many questions.
      I don't know what country you live in but do you use a transformer or frequency converter?
      I live in Japan and am concerned if it will work.
      The voltage and frequency in Japan is 100v, 60hz.

    • @captaintango
      @captaintango  7 месяцев назад

      I live in the US and didn't have to use any transformer. Some of the LCD screens for the instrument displays came with transformers equipped with a typical European plug but they accept a wide range of voltage and frequency so I was able to use them with a simple plug adapter. The industrial power supplies require their own power cords so I found on Amazon a power cord with a switch, a US plug on one end, and bare wires on the other end.
      It would be best to check with the suppliers but I suspect that most modern electronics using DC power and thus requiring a transformer ships with one that can be used pretty much worldwide (the plug type is the only thing that you would have to worry about then).
