- Tim and Monty demonstrate how easy it is to build the Saitek Pro Flight Simulator Cockpit Shell. This custom-built shell is the perfect hangar for all your flight sim gear. See how easy it is to create the ultimate SimPit.
Saitek's cockpit shell is an ideal solution for the flight simulation enthusiast and the PPL student who prefers to configure their own cockpit. It's professional-grade, heavy-duty construction and specifically designed to house Saitek Pro Flight components. The neutral design allows you to replicate popular aircraft trainers like the Cessna Skyhawk and the Piper Archer. When used with an appropriate PC, screen, and either Microsoft Flight Sim X, X-Plane, or Prepar3D, the cockpit can help you become fully familiar with the controls, processes and navigation systems of the world's most popular light aircraft.

I bought a panel and just wanted to get an idea on how to install the components. This just showed me 2 guys running around and the equipment is in place. I couldn't see what they were doing or how they connected things. This is not a good idea if you are interested in selling more products. Take your time and show people how it is done we don't make mistakes, waste time or destroy things.
I downloaded the manuals but they just showed how to install on a table! Nothing about the cockpit.
Thanks
Saitek, get your mind straight. Nobody will buy an empty cockpit she'll for $2500. I think if you offered this for $500-$700 then you'd have many more buyers. This is something I would buy, but for $2000 less.
FSLifeproHD THANK YOU!!!! THAT BROKE MY HEART!
I would buy for 2000 with all panels yoke lcd screens etc
there are ones on ebay for only 150 lol

Its easier to make it by yourself :|
Saitek fucked up by game locking these. If they worked on games like War Thunder, IL2 DCS, Falcon 4.0, Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen more people would buy them! Right now the complete set is like $3k total and locked to a single game or two.
These are intended for serious flight simulators, not games like War Thunder or Elite Dangerous which have some degree of flight simulation, but not to the point of having adjustable trim, radio frequencies, etc. That's why. You can't necessarily say they did something bad by not supporting those games for this type of hardware because this type of hardware REALLY isn't intended for those types of games, and using this type of hardware for those games would be pointless! For games like that, you would be fine with just a joystick or HOTAS of some sort because those games don't have complex flight simulation mechanics like FSX or X-Plane do.
if saitek really wanted to make a huge impression on the pro simulation side of things, they should have made replica a320/747/737/777 throttles yokes and sidesticks. they are usually very expensive so many simmers would love a plastic cheaper alternative
afro willson That would actually be really cool. I mean, Saitek made a licensed Cessna yoke already.
This is nice for an overview. BUT - it would be nice to go over this in real time and show how to set this all up. This is a great setup but a good video of how it goes together and how it all works would be great.
$2,500 for a cockpit shell is ridiculous! Call me when your having a %65 off sale. Especially, once you consider the additional Saitek products that people would buy once they had this to work with.
+Mike N Not only the shell but all the LCD screens, the yoke, the rudder and the other flight controls is included in that price.
+Ryan rosenberg That's incorrect. For that price, you'd think they would be included. If you want that, it's $4,999!!! check out mypilotstore.com and you'll see for yourself. If it was $2,500 for everything, I probably would've purchased it.
Too bad this cockpit is cost prohibited at current prices.
'Easy to set up' Complete bullshit. My yoke and rudder pedals work perfectly, but with the other 3 Saitek products that i have ever bought, i had nothing but issues. I returned all 3 of them
Man, I wish I could afford my self one of these. I could use the simulation to keep my mind going. I'm going my PPL atm. Right now I got some cheap CH yoke and rudder crap. But wow ain't that a nice piece of equipment.
I don't think it's a fear price ($5000), and if you want it emty, you have an also very redicules price of $2200
indeed, you get it
But starting keys usually on the left of most cockpits kinda weeird being on the tigh
Pricing needs to keep up with the downturn in economy.......... and the software needs to work well with Windows 10 too .......... not impressed with products that I currently own as they don't work ATM
SAITEK, I have exactly the same configuration and also bought two throttle quadrants to make it a twin BUT.... I am unable to turn all components ON at the same time, I have (as I''ve figured) power problems. CAN you please let me know what USB HUB connectors, brands, model you use to put them all ON at the same time.
REGARDS.....
I'd rather save up for a real plane.
CaptainFrejdery Ok you wanna spend 300k instead of 2.5k?
Hello You can get a plane for 50k
@@aw7245 less than that actually but its rare to come across a deal like that
@@aw7245 Maintenance?
More like save up for flight lessons!
GOD DAMMIT! I finally get all the panels together after years of looking (BIP, I am looking at your elusive ass) and now I can't find a single one of these anywhere and the others aren't as tall or have as many bays because they aren't sadists when it comes to having people buy their panels. !!!!!!
What are the width and height of the yoke hole respectively?
Guys, remember to take the crack out of the bag before you smoke it! I love your stuff and have all of it. Unfortunately 2500 for the cockpit she'll is a bit too much. I chose to install all my Saitek gear into the advanced cockpit panel for 300. While I agree that it isn't exactly the level of product you offer, for $2200 less, it is definitely worth considering. I just don't understand why you are charging so much for a similar empty panel shell...
B Moran shell*
Can you please show how it looks on the rear side to see how did you conect all the components thanks
Lets 5000 dollars for a rig that only looks like a few models or build my own modular unit for 300 dollars materials and then 2800 dollars worth of gauges and controllers which gives me the option to re-configure the home built box to accommodate and replicate the size/layout of about 200 + models. Well I already built the custom so no need to set 5k on fire on this garbage.
Why is every Cockpit like this, Hey were gonna use some shitty ass cessna looking ass shit. Like make something related to a a320, b737, 747 idk, just not that crappy hobby plane looking shit
With every home cockpit I see the same issue again and again... Cockpit being mounted on a regular desk means your computer screen showing outside view is way too high. When flying an airplane you usually don't need to break your neck to see outside!
Is the yoke in the panel included when you buy the panel?
I think you guy can make a cockpit use paper so it very cheap
That's awesome
#saitekistooexpensive
So much hate in the comments yet a fairly highly liked video?
Please
We're can I buy this. Does Saitek still sell this dashboard
Hint hint take that money and pay for actual flight lessons thank me later.
I don't think I can beat your record time in 1:50. You guys move way too fast. LOL
where can I find those thin instrument panels?
like it very much but the cost is .... :(
Do you have a cockpit for Garmin 1000 ?
volairsim do one thats far better and cheaper
Before sell those stupid items, Saitek should reconsider their quality control for their main products. Their flight sticks and throttle levers are junk. Whoever bought this things may have to overhaul before use.
This is so stupid, not even a single video about how to configure them on the flight sim!!!
Bought a yoke system + rudder + switch panel and can't configure the switch panel, contacted logitech and gave me a case number and didn't help, advised that Saitek will contact me but they didn't, now after what I saw that you guys only sell and don't care about after selling service, I'll refund them tomorrow, really hopeless!
thats pretty bad advertising
Its not really the price that worries me. It is just that for those prices, you want semi-unbreakable equipment! Being a huge aviation fan i bought those exact same pedals, yoke and throttles. Within 3 years, all the throttles glitch so insanely much flying with them is impossible, the screen of the yoke does not display anything but green light, and all the left hand buttons do not work anymore. If I were to invest in your stuff, how can i know for sure that it won't fail that easily?
I think i'd rather just buy a big screen for cockpit layout, more flexibility and cheaper! Just need new throttles...
everyone I have bought most of these products and although they are expensive be prepared to spend more money because I have had to buy a pretty beefy power supply for my computer and a couple of sticks of RAM for it too work so everyone take note once you have bought everything it isn't over spending yet
2500 dollars for some plastic, tell me when it is worth like $200 because it cost you $50 to make it.
I need to download software but website don't eork
Mobiflight and Arduino: I'm about to end this man's whole career
(Cuz I built a full cockpit with them)
It's just a shame Saitek use such cheap components. Hopefully now that Logitech are involved the quality will improve
Non riesco a fare funzionare contemporaneamente i due saitek panel radio, l'assistenza saitek mi ha scrito dicendo che non è compatibile... come posso fare? uso FSX con SP1 e SP2, win7 64bit, spad 5.1 e fsuipc 4.1. grazie
Although I liked your video I'm with the rest of them your just to pricey for me. Yes we all want to have a simulator but 2500 then you have to buy all guages bells and whistles it could be about 5/6 grand. Sorry I'd rather pay that down on a deposit on a real cessna 172/180 and pay it up.come down on your prices China can make that for 2/3 hundred.
Why can't they just make it cheap all in one not everybody has a million dollars to spend
Salve, non riesco a fare funzionare contemporaneamente i due radio panel, ne funziona soltanto il primo che collego.... ho win7, fsx, fsuipc, spad 5.0....grazie.
Just đownload the mip and stick ít on the wooden self you have make for a cockpit
As you said it’s very easy.... if you have 3000$, absolute rip off
+Saitek does your multi panel and switch panel work with pmdg aircrafts if i use spad and the free fsuipc version?
thanks
How do you use the website
I went to you website and there was nothing about this
i am find this product in Saitek.com but nothing
Donde puedo comprar ese panel negro donde van todos los complemenos de saitek??
badass but 2500?!?!? NO WAY! CANT EVEN AFFORD IT :(
The thing that cost the most is the little screens they are about 150 EACH but an ipad is a cheeper altenetive there is aps for it!
They move really quick.
How does it cost? Thanks
How to install switch panel?
nice
only thing is.....its too expensive.
Of course it is. It's practically a piece of furniture. Furniture is expensive.
omg it so cheap only 6428$ thats cheper then a plane :)
that is not cheap unless you are one of those rich kids that love to flex but 6k is not cheap for sim pilots because a lot of sim pilots don't have budgets like these
and a brand new shiny Cessna 172 straight of the line will set you back 127k are you mad?
@@MrAlastairwylie he was obviously beeing sarcastic ... "it´s cheap, because it´s cheaper than a plane"...
xplanes 11 is coming out. hurry up and start putting these back in stock!
2000 for just fucking instruments? Jeez wtf saitek
Try to beat our time, does not tell us their time.
