I have the Thrustmeter TPR pedals, and if they're within your budget, wouldn't recommend anything else! The pivot point is at the _top,_ so they more closely mimic the operation of most real-world aircraft, and they just plain feel better than the sliding pedals or pantograph style pedals. Beyond that, the spring tension is easily adjustable as is the brake pedal angle. There's also a mod available which adds hydraulic damping if you're so inclined. The downside? 1) Obviously the price. 2) I use the TPR on a carpeted floor and found that they slide around all over the place. I _totally_ solved it though by attaching a couple of carpet spikes to the bottom of the mounting plate and now they don't slide _anywhere!_ If you want to move or reposition them, you _literally_ have to pick them up and then put them back down in the new location! 3) If you have a nice hardwood floor, you're on your own I guess... 🙂
I’m with you on the upcoming Beyond ATC, looks like it will revolutionize the sim. Can’t wait! Love your setup. I went the VR direction, but I definitely see the advantages of a triple screen.
Beautiful set-up. When I was married, I needed a room like this. Now, I feel guilty when I am not being productive. If I ever had an extra room, it might be fun to build something. But, maybe my time would be equally rewarding on a business.
@@g-locmediaI have the Crosswind, absolutely love these pedals, and added the optional damper. Beautifully fitted into the design and works very well to improve the feel to be more realistic against cammed springs alone, and very tunable for feel. Definitely worth the small added expense and well made. Also just swapped in the new optional "combat" pedals from the big stock ones (Messerschmidt?) and find them better for me. Love MFG products, also have his extension tube for the Warthog joystick for longer throw, more precision and reduced effort. Even got Milan's little dust cover for the stick pivot point, clever idea. Crosswind gets hearty recommendations from me, FWIW.
@@g-locmedia They are great! Definitely worth the money and a huge upgrade from the Logitech Saitek Pro pedals I had before. The added damper is great too.
Just bought a pair of MFG Cross winds with the optional damper - as a real life private pilot, it’s the closest feeling I’ve had to using real pedals. This is especially true when flying as the force to move the pedals require quite a bit of force to get the full range - but will smoothly return to center instead of snapping back to center like other spring peddles which causes instability with fine rudder inputs. The silky movements are second to none and you won’t find a better set of pedals at its price point.
I have been flying a while in DCS world and this taught me a lot thanks for posting. I have a buttkicker and the jet seat hooked up together - I think I like the jets seat better but the buttkicker gets the job done as well. Both compliment each other.
Nice rig! I, too, have the Brunner yoke and would not fly without it. Best ever flight sim yoke. I also have the Brunner Peddles and strongly recommend them for your rig. There’s nothing like feeling the wheels of your plane on take offs and landings. Ground handling is second to none.
Stream decks also work great for DCS. I've got the XL and with that you can fit the whole f-16 UFC and DED panels on it. Makes adding steerpoints and programming GPS weapons a breeze without having to click all the buttons.
@@g-locmedia No I haven't. I've got the big XL one and the smaller regular one. The plus looks very enticing. You can always use more rotary knobs! I want to pick up the virpil button box panel to go with my Mongoose cm3, it's a bit pricey but I love the look and aesthetic of it along with it's metal construction.
Looks epic! You could mount some air tubes with twist nozzles above for room cooling. Maybe add a call button light for beverage service on those 4+ hour flights! I use the VKB T-Rudder MKIV pedals and love them. All steel construction so they're super robust and don't slide around. They're the best piece of hardware in my rig. Half the price of the TPR pedals, only downside is you can't do toe braking.
Well so far I have only seen one video just a couple days ago that tops your Flight SIM Rig and hardware. The guy has a home Rig that simulates a Boeing 737 airliner. At first I thought it was a real cockpit or something that Boeing would have to train their pilots, had numerous switches above him, and all over - it looked like an Airliner. Your flight SIM Rig is also awesome what you have put into the hardware and actual layout of what a cockpit should look like. It is amazing how far you guys can go to make a 50 dollar Flight SIM game and turn it into a living, breathing, flight experience. Again, great job with your flight SIM Rig and enjoy many hours flying. You guys make my simple Thrustmaster flight controls hardware and one display look too unrealistic. LOL!!!!! Thanks for the video and take care.
I have a similar(Flight Stand Pro) setup but found that That the NLR seat is so uncomfortable so I ditched it. Also I highly recommend the Rudoo pedals from VF as the best out there. I have also use Black curtains around and above my sim which really pull you in without seeing walls and such.
I was also skeptical too! I tried them and never looked back I came from Crosswinds which is good but these are in a different class. I think it is the cost that scares everyone away.
Great setup. Also kind of interesting how the HOTAS part of it is the weakest link: the Warthog joystick base is by now highly surpassed by so many alternatives, it really is kind of in the same league as your rudder pedals by this point. Those are the weak links. But if you really like the feel of the Warthog grip in your hands, just plonk it onto a Virpil base, or VKB with an adapter, or RealSim if you want to specialise it for DCS.
I fully agree to this. Honestly, I think the Warthog is a disappoint. Only the metal grip makes it okay. It is so clunky and inaccurate in my opinion. I would also recommend the VKB base. Virpil probably as well, but no personal opinion. On such a great set, I'd almost say you deserve a better stick solution.
hi, I love your setup. I'm thinking about getting myself the Flight Sim Seat & Stand combo. Could you please tell me how much space the combo need? Thanks!
I recommend the TPR pedals. I’ve seen quite a few RUclipsrs change from the crosswinds which is why I went for them in the end. Expensive for what they actually do but I decided to just get them instead of regretting a cheaper option. They were in a sale for something like £375, from scan I think.
@@doifeelluckyHi, I just finished adding a damper to mine, the parts can be found on amazon and at a good hardware store. Love my TPR but it’s the only one I have had😁
so a powered usb hub can handle all the Virpil gear, ? it says they should be plugged in directly. I am looking at a serious upgrade on my PC so any help is appreciated. Love the information you have already supplied.
Ok, so how do you add more peripherals. I can only use 4. As soon as I use vjoy, I lose my rudder pedals. Is there a work around for this.I spent too much on Virgil not to use them.
Does MSFS have a way to only show the exterior view now? I'm an old school cockpit builder from the FS2004,FSX,Prepar3D era and am looking at building one again and while I like the idea of a simple glorified virtual cockpit like this, I want a more realistic tactile experience with 2D gauges and more hands on knobs and buttons. So I plan to build a full instrument panel and likely go with the Garmin G1000 rather than just see them on the big screens. Really nice though, I bet the fighters are fun.
I agree. I've had a set since they came out and they haven't skipped a beat. The pendular motion is also as close to the real thing that you will experience.
very nice miicrosoft fs 2000 pro on windows 96 was the last sim i used. current approach plates, vectors, atf channels all worked. could fly gps, vector in greater LA, and catch the ils and land in LA from nm...all in auto pilot
Awesome setup! For the rudder pedals, the only and BEST option is the Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder. It's robust and precise, all metal made and it even has the pressure adjust. Consider it, and you will not regred.
@@g-locmedia I have the thrustmaster pendular ruder pedals and they are of good quality and work well. But they have the same issue as every other set of rudder pedals I have used which is that they just don't represent what a real plane is like. For the exact same price I have found that the redbird flight pedals are actually a lot better. Better build quality and they are designed for FAA certified simulators. And they are the exact same price. Now if you want to go more for the budget set. By far the best bang for your buck is the vkb rudder pedals. They do not have toe breaks, but to be honest I didn't really miss them that much. I did think it would be an issue, but it wasn't as big as I would have throught. Though that being said, I would consider that to be the budget option for those looking for a good set. The logitec and the cheaper thrustmaster pedals are just not good at all. Especially when considering the price of the VKB. But obviously the redbird pedals and the brunner are the 2 kings when it comes to the best of the best.
Id recommend the VIRPIL ACE INTERCEPTOR petals X-wind landings are a dream and they work with GA and DCS perfectly. The distance between the patals makes it way way easyer to keep those small turns coordinated.
Hey do you use track IR with this set up to try and look behind you all the way in DCS? I just purchased the screens you mentioned but a couple steps up. How is the dog fighting with the three screens with or without track IR
I recently picked up the Brunner FFB pedals and they are absolutely insane. Highly reccommend if theyre within budget! Also - have you thought about upgrading to a full motion rig?
the buttkicker is awesome I have one on my home cinema setup and it really does pull you into the movie. great setup buddy you must get lost in there for hours..
Are you running the screens at 4k? How do you get consistent framerates at 3x4k? I have been thinking about getting maybe 1 4k screen in the middle and two 1080p for the sides or maybe 3 1080 and be done with it
Your setup is inspiring. I love how it uses affordable items and looks absolutely amazing! Ive got the controls and computer ready to go, just need to pull the trigger on the Next level racing flight sim pro, tv's and tv stand. Are you still liking the stand? I like your custom platform to make the throttle fit to the side. What monitor stand are you using for the triple 55" setup?
Yea the flight Sim pro is good. If your in the US you can use my code GLOCMEDIA to get 5% off. This is an affiliate link. However I'd always suggest checking out Amazon first as sometimes you can save even more. I have two floor stands and the middle one on a wall mount bracket for the three 55s
Such an amazing Setup. As you know probably already, the Milan Flight Gear Paddels are on top. MFG Crosswinds V3 Highly erconomic adjustable, very Accurat with High resolution HAL Sensors, made by a Simflighter who runs a Furniture company, and who wanted to build some better Quality Paddels then are out there for himself at the beginning. Made out of composit Material and aluminium, with 17 Barrel Rings. I can recommend those a lot. They are even better then the TM Pentalons or Virpils, also they are fair priced. Thank you for showing us your amazing Rig Kudos and Abo
@@g-locmedia i like them a lot. used Pentalons before, but MFG are much more adjustable and fits my setup better. the Foodrest adujstability is great. Have a very nice Day o7
Hi Nice videos you have done for the Brunner CLS-E NG and CLS-E MK II Rudder Pedals :) First I wondering if there are some improvements of the yoke accept the force if you are comparing the CLS-E NG vs CLS-E MK II? No matter where I am looking I can only see reviews in Nono jet aircraft. When coming for Jets like B737. There is none. It should be since the units is a great piece of equipment for FS. Anyway I am using PRosim737NG and I am looking for FFB units for my cockpit :) What is your opinion of the Bruner Units for Prosim or the inbult 737/ PMDG737? Best regards Fredrik
I had dreams of turning our spare room into my man-cave, gaming suite. The wife decided it will be the babies room. 😢 I now have steering wheel and kit can't use, was so close to getting the flight kit. Keep doing your thing brother, love your set-up and living the dream.
How far away are your eyes from the tv screens? I’m looking at 48” and 55” size and want to try to get it close to me right behind my sim racing wheel and flight sim controls.
After going VR there's just no way I could switch to flat screens even in a setup like this! The depth perception is just such a big of a deal for me. I'd need collimated displays to give up VR!
i owned the tFlight rudders years back, and they are ok for the price, bet not very smooth and very narrow. So pretty soon i upgraded to the Logitech or saitek G rudder pedals (which ever you can find) . They are so much better, and round 150€ new so not expensive. If i had maybe 1 thing i could improve on them is that they are still a bit to narrow for me. i would like em even wider. More premium options you could look at are, the Turtle beach Volocity, or the Vipril Ace rudders. both of them being around 300€ The TPR pedals are indeed pretty solid, but also 500€. no problem for you maybe, but for anyone who likes to save a buck.. remember , they only move your rudder and/or nosewheel.
Thanks for taking the time to go through your thoughts in this. Turtle beach had been mention med a few times as a good value option that’s still pretty good quality.
Get the ThrustMaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals- best and most realistic I've tried (I'm a IRL pilot)...Also if you want to smooth out your stick, get the Virpil VPC WarBRD base. It was a huge upgrade for me!!!
You're right about keeping cables short and uncoiled! When you coil a wire it changes the impedance (or resistance) of the wire and degrades it's performance.
Also I can highly recommend a subwoofer. I have one (for other reasons), and the immersion when taking off and feeling all that rumble makes it insanely nice. Even on a single 27" screen.
If you haven't got the new pedals yet, TPR: Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder pedals. They are expensive but at your level in the hobby, your setup warrants it.
@@g-locmedia I always tell people to only buy them if they are truly "ate up" with the hobby. They make a fine self Christmas gift. IMO, the true test of rudder pedals is how well they help you facilitate the execution of crosswind landings and how they feel in the process. Are they smooth without any stickiness or jerking? If you haven't considered it, I recommend bolting or screwing the base down to a larger surface. I have mine bolted to piece of plywood on a 2x4 frame with a sheet of plastic with teeth screwed to the bottom of the frame to prevent movement on carpet.
Honestly, the only thing that looks "crazy" at first glance are those 3x55" screens. And 3 of them are in the ball park of a slightly expensive VR headset. 80% of pilots in my virtual wing run much more expensive setups - imagine all-Virpil cockpits, Touch screens for interaction with the sim, F14 RIO cockpits fully laid out in self-built button boxes... The Brunner Yoke, that's something special that you don't see every day! My recommendation would be a Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder. They're on the expensive side, but sturdy and pendular instead of sliding unlike most other rudders. Gives a special more realistic feel, and their exceptional with helos. I run them with no springs at all for that, some ppl add oil dampeners for an even better feel.
Do these panels have display port input? I'm trying to find a nice 55/65 inch set up, but need thrm to have display port, as my 4090 has one hdmi and two display port outs.
@@g-locmedia I'm ever so sorry for bugging you again, but what converters did you use? I want them to support 4k 120. Was it an all in one cable or just a converter to go from display port to hdmi?
Looks fantastic,thanks for sharing. I’ve built a home made g pad with air bladders that I think you would like ,I’ll send a wee link . I bought the pad with only electric motors inside,which were ok but adding the air bladders gives a whole new feeling in the sim . There is no air supply and you could fit the pad to your seat . By the way the pendulum thrustmaster pedals are Fantastic,I’ve been in aviation for 43 years as an engineer and pilot and can say they are the best 👍 Cheers Dave from Cupar
@@g-locmedia Thanks I was the flight sim manager for Tayside Aviation and featured my home made g seat at the SECC in Glasgow last April (although I used it for a vr setup it would work for a sim like yours )I can show you the finished setup and a photo taken at the event can I send you an email ? Cheers Dave from Cupar in Fife
@@g-locmedia When I was in the Airforce at Raf Lossiemouth,I had a go in the real Jaguar simulator. On take off the ejection seat inflated into my back giving the sensation that I was getting pushed into the seat . I thought it was fantastic . Using air bladders is not my idea although I think I’ve made it easier to make and condense . When you take off you get the rumble from the runway in the g pad with the electric motors but when you pull back the airbladders under each upper leg inflates giving the sensation your being pushed into the seat pan in the climb ,then when you level off the pressure is realised ,same idea with the bladders behind your back all getting the cues from the sim for surge and heave etc
Mate witch Hub powered you recoment to me i have all warthog setup rudders PDF'S 2 A8Pro samsumg and track 5 but im running out on USB 3.2 ports i need help 😢
No I wasn't. I was treating them as 3 screens in DCS and trying to mod the FOV. Are you using NVIDIA Surround and treating them as a single screen within DCS?@@g-locmedia
You should really try to get a 6 Axis DOF Reality Motion chair. And then a high end VR headset on top of that, if you can. That will bring on all the immersiveness, i tried this setup and it felt like I was in an actual F18. Although the chair can get pricy, (£8000), it was worth every penny.
hi ,, your set up is incredible,, I have a set up similar to yours but with 3x 32 inch and 4 bst1 bass shaker,,, do you use simshaker sound module? If so, is the feeling impressive? I tried the demo version of this one and I wasn't totally sure, thank you
Imagine your partner not liking this???? Women are built differently. I would love to see that and try it out. My girlfriend is similar as she is not really into gaming and gadgets but I am trying my best to get her to convert to a tech nerd.
Great video, thank you. Just one question - I am planning to upgrade to 3 55" TVs. Most of installations I've seen is not in 90 degrees setup which would suit my room conditions the best - is there any reason for the angles of TVs in your setup?
Nice setup, i was considering triple screens but went down the VR root and even with my 3080 havent looked back, granted getting MSFS to look as good in VR isn't possible but still takes my breath away. I then started upgrading my kit to WarBRD-D with HC yoke and TPR rudders and a bespoke collective so can now fly helis, jets and GA and superbhappy with the joke/stick and rudders. To top it off I mounted everything to a Dof H3 motion rig with an HF8 haptic pad and thought that was aviation heaven, till i seen your brunner yoke, maybe one next year😂
Definatley adds a major level of immersion and along with a haptic pad, makes the airframe feel alive. All thats missing is the controller feedback, but not sure the DoF rigs would take a FFB yoke/stick and rudders as they need to be well balanced to get full motion\feedback, but aside from that for the price of a mid range PC Id say worth it@@g-locmedia
Great setup! How does it compare to VR when playing DCS in fighting scenarios etc...checking your 6 seems more immersive with VR but also more uncomfortable?
Dont' you feel a 4th monitor in the vertical axis would be a logical next step for combat ? You know, since for most fights you need to see 30-60 degree up in a turn fight if you do not want to use VR/TrackIR to break your pit immersion.
@@g-locmediaOk, I thought the point of having a physical simpit was to keep stable reference views with controls to not break immersion. But what do I know, I ended up in VR just because I failed to build a projector based half-dome. The cheap single projector to a mirror ball reflecting to a white dome. The math-software-precision of what can be done home in a garage was just too much.
@@g-locmedia I know, I have moved my controls last year from desk-mounted to completelly chair-mounted (hotas + keyboard + mouse) so I can look behind me in VR by rotating on my office chair and not destroy my neck. Back in my TrackIR days I found it hard with the real vs translated angles to keep track of your planes orientation for brief moments when you are looking at the bogey and you have nothing in your view just bogey and cockpit glass. VR's one to one angles actually helps tremendously here if your neck is up to it or you are willing to mount everyhing on a chair :D Anyway, don't want to be here just to brag and advertise VR for you. I was just thinking out loudly how much a 4th display or something else that would give view along vertial axis would help you avoid trackir. Without going nuts with a second layer of 3 more monitors as "2nd row". and half-dome still being hard to achieve stunt for entusiasts without getting professional help.
Thrustmaster TPR for the pedals definitely. It feels like real rudder pedals (stepping instead of those sliding up and down pedals) and it doesnt slide on the floor when u are using the pedals (heavy enough with rubber grips at the bottom).
I’d recommend still using the eye tracker. For DCS have it on vertical axis only and MSFS have track your head height so you can look over the dash for landings.
Can't find them on amazon anymore but they look very similar to the amzn.to/3RLwGgy now that's an affiliate link so if you don't want to use that search for "BolAAzuL 8K HDMI 2.1 to DisplayPort 1.4 Adapter Cable"

Plus if you crash it's only your ego that suffers, not your life.
Also, some people have medical issues that preclude them from getting a pilot certificate. Plus, you never need to buy fuel.
It would be even more economically sensible (and more immersive) to use a VR headset and a Yaw3 lol

Half the price of the TPR pedals, only downside is you can't do toe braking.
thanks for the recommendation.
I love the call button idea. Wife might not agree though.
Well so far I have only seen one video just a couple days ago that tops your Flight SIM Rig and hardware. The guy has a home Rig that simulates a Boeing 737 airliner. At first I thought it was a real cockpit or something that Boeing would have to train their pilots, had numerous switches above him, and all over - it looked like an Airliner.
Your flight SIM Rig is also awesome what you have put into the hardware and actual layout of what a cockpit should look like. It is amazing how far you guys can go to make a 50 dollar Flight SIM game and turn it into a living, breathing, flight experience.
Again, great job with your flight SIM Rig and enjoy many hours flying. You guys make my simple Thrustmaster flight controls hardware and one display look too unrealistic. LOL!!!!!
Thanks for the video and take care.
Thanks for such kind comments mate. Really appreciated 👍
I have a similar(Flight Stand Pro) setup but found that That the NLR seat is so uncomfortable so I ditched it. Also I highly recommend the Rudoo pedals from VF as the best out there. I have also use Black curtains around and above my sim which really pull you in without seeing walls and such.
Your the first person to mention the virtual fly pedals. I’ve used their yoke before and it’s superb.
I was also skeptical too! I tried them and never looked back I came from Crosswinds which is good but these are in a different class. I think it is the cost that scares everyone away.
Landing the plane in that storm looked so bloody amazing.
Totally addictive
Great setup. Also kind of interesting how the HOTAS part of it is the weakest link: the Warthog joystick base is by now highly surpassed by so many alternatives, it really is kind of in the same league as your rudder pedals by this point. Those are the weak links. But if you really like the feel of the Warthog grip in your hands, just plonk it onto a Virpil base, or VKB with an adapter, or RealSim if you want to specialise it for DCS.
I don’t think it’s in the same league as the rudder pedals as they are very entry level but yea there are now some very good options out there.
I fully agree to this. Honestly, I think the Warthog is a disappoint. Only the metal grip makes it okay. It is so clunky and inaccurate in my opinion. I would also recommend the VKB base. Virpil probably as well, but no personal opinion. On such a great set, I'd almost say you deserve a better stick solution.
hi, I love your setup. I'm thinking about getting myself the Flight Sim Seat & Stand combo. Could you please tell me how much space the combo need? Thanks!
@@rrydlo sure mate.youre gonna need 145x80cm
I recommend the TPR pedals. I’ve seen quite a few RUclipsrs change from the crosswinds which is why I went for them in the end. Expensive for what they actually do but I decided to just get them instead of regretting a cheaper option. They were in a sale for something like £375, from scan I think.
Yea they are expensive but your not the first to recommend them. They seem to be the go-to.
I use the TPR as well and it's the best set I've ever owned. For me it was well worth the price.
I am considering a diy dampener mod at the moment. Just need to source and/or make my own parts.
I have to agree, I've been really happy with my TPRs. Not cheap, but good.
@@doifeelluckyHi, I just finished adding a damper to mine, the parts can be found on amazon and at a good hardware store.
Love my TPR but it’s the only one I have had😁
so a powered usb hub can handle all the Virpil gear, ? it says they should be plugged in directly. I am looking at a serious upgrade on my PC so any help is appreciated. Love the information you have already supplied.
@@kodiakk1765 my experience is is pretty crap with no powered hubs. Ive always used the virpil gear through a powered hub.
Ok, so how do you add more peripherals. I can only use 4. As soon as I use vjoy, I lose my rudder pedals. Is there a work around for this.I spent too much on Virgil not to use them.
At this point, just buy a plane.
A bit too costly for me. Maybe one day
The entire idea behind high fidelity flight sims like dcs is that you can actually do combat scenarios
Right!????
You have no idea how much a plane costs, let alone maintaining one, don't you?
😂
Does MSFS have a way to only show the exterior view now? I'm an old school cockpit builder from the FS2004,FSX,Prepar3D era and am looking at building one again and while I like the idea of a simple glorified virtual cockpit like this, I want a more realistic tactile experience with 2D gauges and more hands on knobs and buttons. So I plan to build a full instrument panel and likely go with the Garmin G1000 rather than just see them on the big screens. Really nice though, I bet the fighters are fun.
@@oldowl4290 it doesn't. You would need to look to X-Plane for that
For rudder pedals you could upgrade to the MFG crosswinds. Very good pedals for only $300
From what everyone has said either these of the TM pedals are looking like the ones.
yeah the 600 dollar full metal TM pedals are the way to go!@@g-locmedia
@@g-locmedia The MFG pedals have a damper add-on. I am super pleased with mine. Quality and Affordable. Great design.
VKB rudder pedals are incredible, no toe brake is the only let down on them but the build quality is fantastic.
What's the downside with the toe brakes?
They have none :)
@@RANDYLIZARD ahhh. I didn’t realise that
Nice work! Go for the TPR pedals, you won't regret it. Keep the TM handle and upgrade the base into Virpils WarBRD-D. Best of the both worlds.
Thanks for the recommendation. Someone else recommended the TPR’s too.
Yes...TPR pedals is recommended. 👍
Got ‘em , love ‘em! Haven’t installed damper mod yet.
I agree. I've had a set since they came out and they haven't skipped a beat. The pendular motion is also as close to the real thing that you will experience.
very nice
miicrosoft fs 2000 pro on windows 96 was the last sim i used.
current approach plates, vectors, atf channels all worked.
could fly gps, vector in greater LA, and catch the ils and land in LA from nm...all in auto pilot
wow. It's been a long time?
Awesome setup! For the rudder pedals, the only and BEST option is the Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder. It's robust and precise, all metal made and it even has the pressure adjust. Consider it, and you will not regred.
Yea, that's one that gets mentioned quite a lot. They look pretty high quality
im using my g29 racing wheel as rudder pedals and they work!!!!@@g-locmedia
@@g-locmedia I have the thrustmaster pendular ruder pedals and they are of good quality and work well. But they have the same issue as every other set of rudder pedals I have used which is that they just don't represent what a real plane is like. For the exact same price I have found that the redbird flight pedals are actually a lot better. Better build quality and they are designed for FAA certified simulators. And they are the exact same price.
Now if you want to go more for the budget set. By far the best bang for your buck is the vkb rudder pedals. They do not have toe breaks, but to be honest I didn't really miss them that much. I did think it would be an issue, but it wasn't as big as I would have throught. Though that being said, I would consider that to be the budget option for those looking for a good set. The logitec and the cheaper thrustmaster pedals are just not good at all. Especially when considering the price of the VKB. But obviously the redbird pedals and the brunner are the 2 kings when it comes to the best of the best.
You are living the dream my friend.
Id recommend the VIRPIL ACE INTERCEPTOR petals X-wind landings are a dream and they work with GA and DCS perfectly. The distance between the patals makes it way way easyer to keep those small turns coordinated.
Had quite a few recommendation on those. Thanks for the recommendation
Wondering if your chair comes with seatbelts and a parachute ?
Lol. Actually comes with seatbelts
How you make this video without mentioning cost and setup time is beyond me
That's a fair point. Next time I'll include some pricing info
Hey do you use track IR with this set up to try and look behind you all the way in DCS? I just purchased the screens you mentioned but a couple steps up. How is the dog fighting with the three screens with or without track IR
I would recommend using track ir but I only have it working on the vertical axis. I then have a shortcut for looking behind.
I recently picked up the Brunner FFB pedals and they are absolutely insane. Highly reccommend if theyre within budget! Also - have you thought about upgrading to a full motion rig?
Motion is a bit out or reach for me at the moment but maybe one day.
Not too far, it’s simply amazing!
Can you please add a line item for which stand(s) you are using to support the tv's? thanks!
No worries mate. I'll do it in the next hr.
Congratulations on staying married
Only just
I absolutely love your setup, this looks really good
Thanks mate
the buttkicker is awesome I have one on my home cinema setup and it really does pull you into the movie.
great setup buddy you must get lost in there for hours..
Never thought that about setting one up with a movie. That sounds cool
@@g-locmedia lol it is especially when you have a big sub that rumbles at the same time as your seat. 🤣🤣🤣
Are you running the screens at 4k? How do you get consistent framerates at 3x4k?
I have been thinking about getting maybe 1 4k screen in the middle and two 1080p for the sides or maybe 3 1080 and be done with it
DLSS and frame generation on the 4080 works wonders.
Incredible setup! Thanks for sharing this. Suggest Ruddo pedals. Very realistic feel but not cheap.
I've heard the Ruddos are great with the load cell brakes.
Your setup is inspiring. I love how it uses affordable items and looks absolutely amazing! Ive got the controls and computer ready to go, just need to pull the trigger on the Next level racing flight sim pro, tv's and tv stand. Are you still liking the stand? I like your custom platform to make the throttle fit to the side. What monitor stand are you using for the triple 55" setup?
Yea the flight Sim pro is good. If your in the US you can use my code GLOCMEDIA to get 5% off. This is an affiliate link. However I'd always suggest checking out Amazon first as sometimes you can save even more. I have two floor stands and the middle one on a wall mount bracket for the three 55s
Such an amazing Setup.
As you know probably already, the Milan Flight Gear Paddels are on top. MFG Crosswinds V3
Highly erconomic adjustable, very Accurat with High resolution HAL Sensors, made by a Simflighter who runs a Furniture company, and who wanted to build some better Quality Paddels then are out there for himself at the beginning.
Made out of composit Material and aluminium, with 17 Barrel Rings.
I can recommend those a lot.
They are even better then the TM Pentalons or Virpils, also they are fair priced.
Thank you for showing us your amazing Rig
Kudos and Abo
No worries and thanks for the recommendation. I’ve heard a few people mention the crosswinds.
@@g-locmedia i like them a lot. used Pentalons before, but MFG are much more adjustable and fits my setup better. the Foodrest adujstability is great.
Have a very nice Day o7
Hi nice setup! How have you mounted the Virpil Control Panel to hang off the desk?
It's actually mounted to the NLR Flight Sim Pro.
What a beautiful sim the best I’ve seen and a great video. Thank you 😊
@@zedearl5181 thanks so much this is an old video and I have some crazy updates coming in a new video
Do you have some sort of structure behind the boards where you're mounting the TV's?
I do and I’m planning on having it in a video this weekend.
@@g-locmedia Thanks!
I want it. Super well Done. Enjoy life and fly anywhere you want, when ever you want
That looks fantastic, please send a list of all the equipment I need to replicate it !!!
Thanks. It’s at the bottom in f the description. Check it out.
Hi
Nice videos you have done for the Brunner CLS-E NG and CLS-E MK II Rudder Pedals :)
First I wondering if there are some improvements of the yoke accept the force if you are comparing the CLS-E NG vs CLS-E MK II?
No matter where I am looking I can only see reviews in Nono jet aircraft. When coming for Jets like B737. There is none. It should be since the units is a great piece of equipment for FS. Anyway I am using PRosim737NG and I am looking for FFB units for my cockpit :)
What is your opinion of the Bruner Units for Prosim or the inbult 737/ PMDG737?
Best regards Fredrik
Thank you
Not sure I fully understand your question. Also most of my testing is with GA aircraft as that’s what I tend to fly.
@@g-locmedia Do you know someone who has tested the units in a B737?
I had dreams of turning our spare room into my man-cave, gaming suite. The wife decided it will be the babies room. 😢 I now have steering wheel and kit can't use, was so close to getting the flight kit. Keep doing your thing brother, love your set-up and living the dream.
Thanks mate. It's definitely an addiction
Awesome setup! I've started saving up to clone your setup ;-) Wondering if you could tell us, or do a video and show us how the screens are mounted?
Yea I plan to do that as I’ve had quite a few people ask. Basically both side TVs are on floor stands and the centre tv is on a wall bracket.
How far away are your eyes from the tv screens? I’m looking at 48” and 55” size and want to try to get it close to me right behind my sim racing wheel and flight sim controls.
I’ll give it a measure
After going VR there's just no way I could switch to flat screens even in a setup like this! The depth perception is just such a big of a deal for me. I'd need collimated displays to give up VR!
Depth perception is mind-blowing in VR. I can’t argue with, as soon as someone creates a mixed reality with good pass through I’ll be on board.
@@g-locmediaCheck out the Somnium VR1 if you haven't heard of it. That's basically what they're going for.
Just wait for holography. By the time technology is revealed to the public, it is already 50 years old.@@g-locmedia
i owned the tFlight rudders years back, and they are ok for the price, bet not very smooth and very narrow. So pretty soon i upgraded to the Logitech or saitek G rudder pedals (which ever you can find) . They are so much better, and round 150€ new so not expensive. If i had maybe 1 thing i could improve on them is that they are still a bit to narrow for me. i would like em even wider.
More premium options you could look at are, the Turtle beach Volocity, or the Vipril Ace rudders. both of them being around 300€
The TPR pedals are indeed pretty solid, but also 500€. no problem for you maybe, but for anyone who likes to save a buck.. remember , they only move your rudder and/or nosewheel.
Thanks for taking the time to go through your thoughts in this. Turtle beach had been mention med a few times as a good value option that’s still pretty good quality.
For HDMI 2.1 cable, try the Active Fiber Optic ones, they're not cheap but they are amazing
Great idea. I’ll have a look at them. Can you recommend a brand?
Get the ThrustMaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals- best and most realistic I've tried (I'm a IRL pilot)...Also if you want to smooth out your stick, get the Virpil VPC WarBRD base. It was a huge upgrade for me!!!
Thanks for the recommendation. I know VIRPIL products are top notch.
@@g-locmedia Yep...and the base works great with my warthog stick
You're right about keeping cables short and uncoiled! When you coil a wire it changes the impedance (or resistance) of the wire and degrades it's performance.
Every day is a school day. Thanks for the insight. Love it!
Also I can highly recommend a subwoofer. I have one (for other reasons), and the immersion when taking off and feeling all that rumble makes it insanely nice. Even on a single 27" screen.
I actually use a buttkicker for this but guess they do similar things
If you haven't got the new pedals yet, TPR: Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder pedals.
They are expensive but at your level in the hobby, your setup warrants it.
I'm actually just about to review those exact pedals
@@g-locmedia I always tell people to only buy them if they are truly "ate up" with the hobby. They make a fine self Christmas gift.
IMO, the true test of rudder pedals is how well they help you facilitate the execution of crosswind landings and how they feel in the process. Are they smooth without any stickiness or jerking?
If you haven't considered it, I recommend bolting or screwing the base down to a larger surface.
I have mine bolted to piece of plywood on a 2x4 frame with a sheet of plastic with teeth screwed to the bottom of the frame to prevent movement on carpet.
@@fess_ter_geek Yea I just did a Ruddo review last week and one of my points was that I would not recommend them unless you are hard mounting.
Hi. May you share your hardware configuration? In particular, wich kind of grafic card are you using with N.3 4K monitor? Thanks in advance
I’m running a 4089 with an AMD 7800x3D
Honestly, the only thing that looks "crazy" at first glance are those 3x55" screens. And 3 of them are in the ball park of a slightly expensive VR headset. 80% of pilots in my virtual wing run much more expensive setups - imagine all-Virpil cockpits, Touch screens for interaction with the sim, F14 RIO cockpits fully laid out in self-built button boxes...
The Brunner Yoke, that's something special that you don't see every day!
My recommendation would be a Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder. They're on the expensive side, but sturdy and pendular instead of sliding unlike most other rudders. Gives a special more realistic feel, and their exceptional with helos. I run them with no springs at all for that, some ppl add oil dampeners for an even better feel.
That’s a common thread here with the TM rudder pedals. Everyone seems to love them.
Do these panels have display port input? I'm trying to find a nice 55/65 inch set up, but need thrm to have display port, as my 4090 has one hdmi and two display port outs.
@@skippychurch2965 nahbthey ae all HDMI. I use HDMI convertors. Maybe look at the 48inch Acer oldest and I think LG makes one too
@g-locmedia but you convert display port to hdmi and that works well for you? Like a cable that has one on one side and one on the other?
@@skippychurch2965 yea that's it.
@@g-locmedia I'm ever so sorry for bugging you again, but what converters did you use? I want them to support 4k 120. Was it an all in one cable or just a converter to go from display port to hdmi?
@@skippychurch2965 check out my linktree you'll see them on there on Amazon
Very cool. I went with VR instead, but wish I had the room and money to do both.
Looks fantastic,thanks for sharing.
I’ve built a home made g pad with air bladders that I think you would like ,I’ll send a wee link .
I bought the pad with only electric motors inside,which were ok but adding the air bladders gives a whole new feeling in the sim .
There is no air supply and you could fit the pad to your seat .
By the way the pendulum thrustmaster pedals are Fantastic,I’ve been in aviation for 43 years as an engineer and pilot and can say they are the best 👍

That sound super interesting. Would love to see that. Yea the TM rudder come highly recommended.

Thanks
I was the flight sim manager for Tayside Aviation and featured my home made g seat at the SECC in Glasgow last April (although I used it for a vr setup it would work for a sim like yours )I can show you the finished setup and a photo taken at the event can I send you an email ?

When I was in the Airforce at Raf Lossiemouth,I had a go in the real Jaguar simulator.
On take off the ejection seat inflated into my back giving the sensation that I was getting pushed into the seat .
I thought it was fantastic .
Using air bladders is not my idea although I think I’ve made it easier to make and condense .
When you take off you get the rumble from the runway in the g pad with the electric motors but when you pull back the airbladders under each upper leg inflates giving the sensation your being pushed into the seat pan in the climb ,then when you level off the pressure is realised ,same idea with the bladders behind your back all getting the cues from the sim for surge and heave etc

How did you get the side screens to look aligned in DCS? Mine always look "bent" and immersion breaking.
Are you using NVIDIA surround?
No I wasn't. I was treating them as 3 screens in DCS and trying to mod the FOV.

For rudder pedals....MFG Crosswinds....best made and performing rudder pedals available anywhere and not crazy expensive
Thanks for the recommendation
Is there a company that can come to your home and do this entire setup?
Hello mate. I'm not aware of any? What country do you live in?
@@g-locmedia I’m in the states
You should really try to get a 6 Axis DOF Reality Motion chair. And then a high end VR headset on top of that, if you can. That will bring on all the immersiveness, i tried this setup and it felt like I was in an actual F18. Although the chair can get pricy, (£8000), it was worth every penny.
I have a 2dof motion platform on there now and it's pretty cool.
Bro I feel you …. I too have setup but not as majestic as yours… this is like a dream for me
Thanks. It's like a never ending money pit of happiness.
Two 15” touch screens (13” will do) for pop out instrument windows, garmin screens, maps, sky vector, etc. indispensable.
I have a pilot mate who has exactly that.
very nice, I've always had one 55" curved screen monitor, two more for the side views would be nice
Makes a massive difference
Rudder pedals.
Tried a few, still have not found any that beats Thrustmaster TPR.
Mostly fly combat planes and helicopters.
Thanks for the recommendation
hi ,, your set up is incredible,, I have a set up similar to yours but with 3x 32 inch and 4 bst1 bass shaker,,, do you use simshaker sound module? If so, is the feeling impressive? I tried the demo version of this one and I wasn't totally sure, thank you
Thanks.I’d use simhaptic over sim shaker. It’s way more configurable and I think it’s just better across the board.
Imagine your partner not liking this???? Women are built differently. I would love to see that and try it out. My girlfriend is similar as she is not really into gaming and gadgets but I am trying my best to get her to convert to a tech nerd.
She's quite supportive really but just leaves me too it.
@@g-locmedia fair enough mate
beautiful set up but i have no idea how you sit that close,i have the same screen but just one and can't stand being within 5 feet from it
It honestly doesn’t both me. Apart from the heat. Lol.
Great video, thank you. Just one question - I am planning to upgrade to 3 55" TVs. Most of installations I've seen is not in 90 degrees setup which would suit my room conditions the best - is there any reason for the angles of TVs in your setup?
My angle is about 60-65 degrees as it just felt right for me. Nothing other than that.
I can recommend MFG Crosswind pedals, high quality, and they can be modded to your personal taste with different footrests etc.
A common theme with a few others recommending the same. Have you tried the damper kit?
@@g-locmedia No I haven't, I use my MFG for MSFS only so it is not needed, but if you play combat sim it can certainly be a good option.
Nice setup, i was considering triple screens but went down the VR root and even with my 3080 havent looked back, granted getting MSFS to look as good in VR isn't possible but still takes my breath away. I then started upgrading my kit to WarBRD-D with HC yoke and TPR rudders and a bespoke collective so can now fly helis, jets and GA and superbhappy with the joke/stick and rudders. To top it off I mounted everything to a Dof H3 motion rig with an HF8 haptic pad and thought that was aviation heaven, till i seen your brunner yoke, maybe one next year😂
P.s. the TPRs are great but heavy and expensive, I went with them as they have toe brakes as I fly a range of airframes
How’s the Dof?
Definatley adds a major level of immersion and along with a haptic pad, makes the airframe feel alive. All thats missing is the controller feedback, but not sure the DoF rigs would take a FFB yoke/stick and rudders as they need to be well balanced to get full motion\feedback, but aside from that for the price of a mid range PC Id say worth it@@g-locmedia
rudder pedals. look into the SLAW DEVICE. I love mine.
I’ll have a look at that
I wonder how that would looke with a trio of Odyssey ARK 55"? That 1000r curve would make quite the wraparound
Yea that would completely next level.
Une passion ça n’a pas de prix
Ton environnement est génial ❤
Great setup! How does it compare to VR when playing DCS in fighting scenarios etc...checking your 6 seems more immersive with VR but also more uncomfortable?
I use a keyboard shortcut for looking behind
In other videos, you had your gauges on a separate panel above the yoke. Do you have a video detailing that setup? Thanks!
Yea, in mu older videos I had the Logitech Flight panels and autopilot panel attached via the existing bolt holes. Works great!
Virpil rudder pedals. I can tune those where they feel like the planes i fly irl.
Awesome setup brother!
Thanks mate. What kind of planes do you fly?
@@g-locmedia da-42 and Cessna. Have some experience on the 737 but back in 09 there was no work.
Amazing. Vr and motion rig is the way to go for me, but I can see the allure of having everything tangible within arms reach
I’d love to get in to motion but it still feels a bit out of reach for me at the moment price wise.
@@g-locmedia great setup in the meantime!
Dont' you feel a 4th monitor in the vertical axis would be a logical next step for combat ? You know, since for most fights you need to see 30-60 degree up in a turn fight if you do not want to use VR/TrackIR to break your pit immersion.
I actually use track IR on the vertical axis only for that. Works well.
@@g-locmediaOk, I thought the point of having a physical simpit was to keep stable reference views with controls to not break immersion.
But what do I know, I ended up in VR just because I failed to build a projector based half-dome. The cheap single projector to a mirror ball reflecting to a white dome. The math-software-precision of what can be done home in a garage was just too much.
@@networkgeekstuff9090 it certainly is but unfortunately with DCS is kinda essential.
@@g-locmedia I know, I have moved my controls last year from desk-mounted to completelly chair-mounted (hotas + keyboard + mouse) so I can look behind me in VR by rotating on my office chair and not destroy my neck.
Back in my TrackIR days I found it hard with the real vs translated angles to keep track of your planes orientation for brief moments when you are looking at the bogey and you have nothing in your view just bogey and cockpit glass. VR's one to one angles actually helps tremendously here if your neck is up to it or you are willing to mount everyhing on a chair :D
Anyway, don't want to be here just to brag and advertise VR for you. I was just thinking out loudly how much a 4th display or something else that would give view along vertial axis would help you avoid trackir. Without going nuts with a second layer of 3 more monitors as "2nd row". and half-dome still being hard to achieve stunt for entusiasts without getting professional help.
Thrustmaster TPR for the pedals definitely. It feels like real rudder pedals (stepping instead of those sliding up and down pedals) and it doesnt slide on the floor when u are using the pedals (heavy enough with rubber grips at the bottom).
I'll second that. The TPR pedals are amazing.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey mate just a few questions. I'm doing a build pretty similar for DCS and MSFS. Would you use Tobbii eye track? Or the 3 panel's work just fine?
I’d recommend still using the eye tracker. For DCS have it on vertical axis only and MSFS have track your head height so you can look over the dash for landings.
I highly recommend the Milan flight gear crosswind pedals. they are SO good for the money, around 200 bucks
a few people have mentioned them. Thanks for the recommendation
Wow,....just wow!
That's what I dreamed of!
A big blast ! Besides the fortune of such homesim, I wonder how many watts you are burning out ?

Lol. Would be a fair few lol.
video card has one HDMI port, what adapter are you using to convert from DP

If in budget go with the Brunner CLS-E MK II Rudder Pedals. Nice rig.
Got a set of them from Brunner at the moment. Unfortunately they are going back soon but they are on my buy list for 2024.
