    Hi Bob, i have a 40″ screen. If i could do it again, i would buy a bigger screen. I changed the camera position, is this better? It’s a short flight over my hometown Maastricht. You can actually see Andre Rieu’s home. Its a castle located at the river Maas 🙂

    I am very happy! I fixed the Cessna Yoke! I replaced the broken pot with a new one and also removed the default springs and replaced them with rubber bands and zip ties. Now it feels much better. I prefer the Cessna yoke over the default saitek yoke because it not only looks better, but also gives you more control because it has a larger movements ( it turns 90 degrees to both sides and it has a longer shaft).

    I also cleaned up a lot of the cables and placed the Saitek radiopanel back on the panel. It is on the right bottom side, you cant see it in the video.

    If you have watched my previous movies, you noticed that there’s no sound. My old action cam is broken so I am thinking of getting a new one. Any advice is appreciated.

    also, my flying in the videos is horrible. Thats not only because i am still learning, but also because i am just testing out the simpit.

    The cockpit starts looking better but it is still far from finished. The to do list is still very long:

    • new roof for the pit
    • adding screws and other details to the panel
    • fix sound or other camera
    • seat position is not correct, needs to be a bit higher
    • aligning monitors
    • adjust rudder pedals for better control
    • add second yoke
    • add side door panel
    • add additional ipad for displaying engine and fuel instruments
    • adding saitek fip
    • etc

    once again, thanks for watching, i hope you like it!

    Hi,

    in the above video you can see a part of the new chair and also a sidepanel for the door which I got from an old saab. Now the door looks like a door and even has an armrest. I also added the Led lights for the panel. Unfortunately my cessna yoke is broken so i had to replace it with a pro flight yoke, which is less accurate.

    Thanks! I realy love watching those videos and i am looking forward to new ones!

    Today I added an important part to the simpit: A used carseat which can be folded as well. It is a 7th seat from a Peugeot sw307.

    I also added the new bessels. I removed the paint and used black tape and a marker to make them black. It is still not perfect but for now its ok.

    Hi,

    Today I added a WIP glareshield, the missing engine RPM-gauge and also the gps-display. I also repaired the Cessna Saitek yoke, one pot was bad. I cleaned the pot and now the problem seems to be solved. I am testing bessels for the gauges. I found some cups which have the exact dimensions, only drawback is they are red instead of black. I painted the black but unfortunately the paint doesnt hold.

    as allways a video to show what i did

    Thanks! Without your great site this wouldn’t have been possible for me.

    I like your videos a lot. Would it be possible to create some kind of flight school lessons? With X-plane I think it is possible to connect as an instructor. By creating your own “on the glideslope virtual flight school” you could even earn some money for the real thing 😉

    just an idea…..

    And a movie:

    Still lots to do: adding glareshield, leds, aligning, add details like stickers, screws, mounting FIP, add gps display etc

    Btw, i also changed the side Windows once again😀

    Hi,

    I wrote in the openingspost that I am not very happy with my panel. I dont like the small instruments, the big gap between the instruments (caused by the besels of the iPads), the position of the yoke under the instruments in stead of in between them, the big saitek panels etc.

    so time for improving😀

    What do you think so far?

    Looks great Jeff! I am also trying to build a new panel. Your video gives me a lot of inspiration, many thanks!

    Looks great! I wish I had the space you have. Mine is way to narrow to fit a desk chair in it.

    Very nice build!

    Today I found out that it’s possible to adjust the vertical FOV for the side screen. This makes alignment easier. See the movie. Still some tweaking to do….

    Looks better, doesnt it?

    Looks better! Did you also had to change the object settings in plane maker?

    I tried deleting some interior parts (seats etc) but it doesn’t work. Only the textures disappear but the 3D model is still visible…. So it is unusable.

    Still not very happy, I placed the left part back but now i did some magic to it 😉

    i think it’s an improvement, I still have to do a lot of fine tuning

    Hi,

    I’m still not 100% happy with the results. I think The new window looks better because it’s more to the front, the unrealistic thing is that I now have two side windows….

    so, once again I did some testing. First I removed the left front cockpit part so I got one window again. Drawback is that you now can see the  edges of the screens. Which obviously isn’t very realistic.

    what do you think?
