With fs2020 and 2024 you can’t polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter 😂 I just can’t believe I fell for their lies again.

A half shell? I’m shocked (and as always a wee bit impressed). Nicely done! When I started thinking about flying other planes I just started building another cockpit…I guess that’s a perk of divorce 😂…nobody to stop me

Comedy gold 😅 and I've added this to my list of re-watches

Honestly, I am shocked that you did this. I thought the immersion of having the full physical cockpit was what you wanted. But I fully understand how the practicalities of that can be an issue. Anyway, I hope you are happy once you start using it. Another advantage of this setup is you could now, if you wanted, switch to other GA aircraft, and the virtual cockpit around you will change with it.

nice. big difference. I like what you did there.

If you’d like to have even more immersion, you could sell these monitores and buy a vr headset.

Looks like an office cubicle simulator

If you weren't worried about cameras do you feel like the full enclosure gives you more realism? I'm thinking about an enclosure build and I have been following your progress for a while. I was thinking about trying to knock off your design but now you're throwing me a curve ball :)!

Amazing job! Is the panel to actual scale/size for C172? Im currently building a PA28 series. Also how'd you undock those views is it zoomed in? I cant get rid of the virtual cockpit

Excellent video as always Cess. Nice and clear to me and I'm sure everyone else😂😉 It looks great! 👍👍Have a Happy New Year buddy. 🥳🎉

I have it a like even though I have no clue what the heck the darn thing is or how good it looks compared to what it’s supposed to be replicating or copying.

I have not seen it before. You don’t know what I think and shouldn’t assume. An “I think you’ll think” sentence is too presumptuous. I’m the first to comment and it’s still unknown what that thing is. Please treat every video as if you’re talking to someone new. That’s the best decision. Unless I think you’ll think it’s a bad idea. See what I did there?

i have a actual 1966 172 fusalge, and i had 3 monitors in there and I finnally just cut the whole roof and pillars off and did what you did about a year ago. I kept whacking my head on the roof in VR and to hard crawling in and out of the cockpit and like you I could not see my screens for apps and buttons.. Now i have full view of the screens , way better!

Nice and it opens up possibly flying other aircraft. Have a similar setup and can recommend the COWS DA42. Flys great and the wrap around glass cockpit looks brilliant.

What about a lightweight sim roof which would fold or side away?

Love the new half shell upgrade mate! Good work

Hi Cess. Nicely explained and makes total sense for comfort and usability. The 172 is a small space and having a 1 to 1 enclosure is certainly not conducive to running a live stream. So the compromise makes perfect sense. I do wonder if you will miss the 'feeling' of enclosure/immersion in the future. I guess you only know when you are back flying😉 It has made me pause with my build. I wonder if doing a full enclosure will be right for me. Food for thought indeed. Like you say there are plenty of other Cessna aircraft to play with! 😊Good luck for the channel in 2025 and hope to see you flying soon. Cheers!

Interesting take mate. Most simmers, when they build a shell, they want it as accurate as possible to the real thing. I liked the way you did yours with the 3D printed windows bezels and all, but I know it can hinder finding your icons and stuff. I suffered through the same when I set up my 60" displays for my Lear45 build. The Lear has a bigger windscreen so it's not as bad as a 172, but I understand the limitations. I honestly really liked how realistic your sim looked in your past videos. So looking forward to see how it looks in your future vids. Cheers!

Very nice

Fantastic work!! I mean it when I say your sim pit is an inspiration.

Keep up the great work mate!

You mentioned half shell. Will that make you a hero in a half shell?

Thank you so much for posting this video. This was such a useful tip that actually made my trim responsive for my Honeycomb Bravo. I found the actual sweet spot to be at 8. 10 is still a tad slow. Again, I appreciate this video. Cheers to you and have a Happy New Year.

Very cool.... I wonder if there is a way to simple add a camera view to create this effect. That would allow those like myself who need to pop out the screens first for the G1000s to then change camera views similar to how P3D worked. Defiantly gives us something to work with since MS has never done anything with the HomeCockpit view option in the menus.

Merry Christmas MATE!!!!

Merry Christmas Cess! See you in the New Year!

Merry Christmas back at ya!!!

Uncoordinated karaoke flight😂

Last one and he stuffs it! 😂😂😂 Hope you're well.

Love your vids! How do you never get copyrighted?! Keep up the laughs!

How come when I say thank you the female Controller says your welcome, have a nice flight. But when I ask if she wants to go out for coffee sometime, she ignores me ?

Well I would like to thank you for allowing me to be apart of such an iconic event in the sim community. And although I didn’t get to fly it all the way through, it has put a stamp in my heart. I really enjoyed the journey with you and all the other simmers. I know next year will be greater. PS….the singing at the end was Fantastic 😂😂😂

OH my god the song...sounded like a bunch of cats on heat....

As someone who’s faced that little nightmare I thoroughly agree. Particularly because mine’s not neat and tidy like yours. Mine’s more like a birds nest that has crashed at high speed into another birds nest!

It worked bro thx <3

as an australian this is certified laughter

pilot-less

Hahaha!

The view when the road opens up is just gorgeous!!!

Awwwoooo! 😁

BUILDING LANDING WAS AMAZING!!!! LOL

My Cessna is possessed! Nothing to do with me!

Always that one thats goofin’ off

NOW THATS SOME FUNNY SHIT!!!😂😂😂😂

Authorities have recovered the in flight recorder and hope it will shed light on how the accident happened😉

😂😂😂…Mary had some hot cross buns..😂😂😂
