Hi Louis, great video! I like your panel a lot! My seat is also about 40 cm. I bought an old car seat which I put on a “hondje”, so now it is easy to move. The seat was very cheap, I couldnt have build one myself for that money.

I am still redesigning my panel. I did a lot of work on it. One of the changes was extending the shaft of the saitek Cessna yoke. I have the yokes housing completely behind the panel, you can only see the shaft. It looks better, but the drawback is that the default shaft was to short, so I extended it 🙂

This is a very early wip picture of the panel

Hi, great job! I really love the design of your roof! I think I am going to use your idea for my new ceiling;)

Hi,

great progress, I really like your panel. I didn’t paint my panel, I use plastic folio which gives a great grey metal look. You can of course choose any color you like. I ordered my folio here:

At the moment I am also working on a new panel. I will be using airmanager on two monitors, I hope I can show some pictures next week.

How are you going to display the instruments? I use airmanager on three iPads. Works great. Although I am not 100% satisfied with the result of my panel. I want it to be more accurate and more interactive, that’s why I bought a second hand leo bodnar and some buttons and rotary encoders so I can not only see the instruments but also control them.

Because these buttons and encoders obviously take up some space, I have to redesign the panel again. So when you start building your panel, I would suggest to use two layers off mdf so it’s easier to add buttons or other items later on.

Hi Louis, great work on your cockpit. I like how you put the frame on the wheels. Great idea! What material  are you going to use for the sides? Wood?

Hi BFG, for me the windows+g key works, although the menu doesn’t show on the main monitor but on my small gps monitor which is connected to the vga output of my motherboard and not to my graphic card. Hope this helps….

I thought it would be nice to fly to the nearest F1 circuit, which is the famous Spa Francorchamps circuit. I didn’t know exactly where it was located, so i had to follow the highway. And during the flight i talk a little bit about the surroundings. I didn’t talk in my previous videos because the mic of my camera is broken (it still is), so the sound is horrible. Anyway, I enjoyed the flight, hope you like the movie

Thanks for the great idea Ivo! I love it!

btw, I have some problems with my YouTube channel. I had to change to a new account. I will have to move the movies over to this new account. This will take some time because you’re only allowed to move 5 movies per day.

this is one of the first movies I did on the new account, it’s the flight back from Spa to Maastricht. Just before I did this movie, I upgraded to the latest windows version. I now run xplane in gamers mode which gave me more fps. As a result of this I was able to increase the graphics settings a bit.

Hi Brian,

My front screen is mounted on the wall. The cockpit is located in a very small room on the attic of my house. The back top side of the the sidescreens hangs on the wooden beams of the roof of the house. The front bottom side of the sidescreen are just standing on a small wooden desk I made. On top off this desk, and behind the panel, my frontscreen is mounted on the wall. It is difficult to explain, I will try to make a sketch of it.

An 60 inch screen is a great option! First i had a 40″ which broke, now i got a 58″. Any bigger wouldnt fit in my room. I got the 58″ for less than €600.

Good luck with your project!

Hi louis,

thanks for watching and your reply. The space between the panel and the front screen is about 10 inches. I will take a picture when the simpit is setup once again. It is completely dissambled right now. It consists of three main parts. The panel which is a small desk on wheels so I can easily move it away, and the two side panels including the screen which are hanging at the roof of the attic. Also these are easy to move. Because of other, non flight sim activities, I dissambled the pit.

Thanks again for your reply!

This is what I am trying to achieve:

And this is how my simpit looks after a few days of modifying

I changed once again the front window. I think it’s a lot better than it used to be.

I still have to align the side monitors. Also the roof isn’t finished and the air vents are missing. I added a second yoke (hard to see…) and also replaced my rudders for cesna rudders. The throttle has been replaced and I installed a trimwheel.
