    This forum is very slow moving.  Too bad, as building a simulator is fun!

    Here is the newest video of my sim.

    Yes, it is a mini 2.4ghz keyboard with track pad.  Useful when I don’t want the full size keyboard and mouse in the cockpit.  Mounted it with velcro tape.

    As promised, I finally had a chance to get some new pictures of my simulator. Still a little work to do, but mostly finishing stuff.

    Let me know your thoughts!

    Just an update on my sim. I have done a lot with it lately, and have it nearly where I want it. I upgraded the main monitor to a 58″ 4k TV.  I also have installed a Diagma panel using PanelBuilder for the gauges.  The Diagma panel has a real hood on it, so I put an LED strip on the underside, so that it is easier to see the switches and such.  I am now working on small details to make the interior look more real.

    I will get some pictures and videos soon for you all to see.  I am really happy with the way it is coming out.

    Sorry for the late reply as well.  🙂

    I am using an older 47″ Visio TV for the front screen.  The width is about 46″, so it is tight for 2 people, but possible.

    Since I am using the virtual panel right now, I kind of lined up the yoke with the yoke on the panel.  Might be a way to get the left/right position.

    VR is great, but the resolution is not there yet.  I have a Rift, and it is good, but it is hard to see things in the distance.  The new Pimax 5K+ looks like it may improve things a lot.

    Here are a couple of pictures of my setup, maybe it will help, maybe not.  🙂

    Not sure that I can answer your question, but I have one for you.  Right now I am using the virtual panel on my setup, mostly because of the cost of instruments.  Are you using the iPad for all your instruments, and radios?

    Looking at options for the future.  🙂

    About 90% done at this point.

    Here are some pictures and a video.  I decided, for now, to use the simulated panel.  I had a IR touch screen add on for the 40″ monitor, but it will not fit on the 47″.  I will need to get another one.  It actually worked quite well for push buttons.

    Thank you!  Unfortunately my father passed away suddenly on August 17th.  I have not been able to work on it too much since.  I have been busy dealing with things, plus he was a huge encouragement on this.  He loved all simulator stuff, so it has been hard to continue on with it.  I have been working on it a little here and there.  I will get pictures when I get a chance.
