I'm sorry for the late replies, I don't come to TH-cam quite often. Please check www.may-cad.com and download their software if you want to build your own DIY racks. For the chair, I will try to contact the supplier to see if they have a Alibaba link.
I custom made one from Alibaba, check this link. www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Simulated-aircraft-operation-seat--Space_1600703129838.html?spm=a2747.manage.0.0.51d571d2d15LL0
Dizzy, thank you for the link. How were you able to purchase only one chair. It seems they only sell a minimum of 8 at a time. Is it possible for you to make a video about your seat? ;)
First off.. your English is great my friend... never apologize for that. If your heritage comes out here and there... let it come out with pride lol! Second... THAT SETUP!!! HOLY COW MAN THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!! I LOVE how you made the throttle assembly. Slick idea!
Nice setup!! I fly DCS, IL-2, MSFS, Star Citizen and X-Plane and of course I am constantly switching between civilian and military, GA and airline, props and jets, so being able to change out the controls is extremely important. You've done a very nice job at making a quick and easy changeover possible. Well Done! 👍
@user-wh7qw6jt9c I like to have hardware that approximates what I would have under my hands in the real aircraft. An F-16's single throttle is very different from the throttles of a 727. Not to mention that, dependiing on the aircraft, your throttle might be in your left or right hand.
Thanks for posting this. Really innovative way to get multiple aircraft configurations into a single space.. I'm one of the hosts of the Air Combat Sim podcast. We're doing segments specifically on hardware. Would you be open to coming on the show for a chat about your setup?
Your rig is absolute fire! I use a virpil rig with a throttle and collective, for both aircraft and helicopter, but I sure as hell wouldn't be sad with all of your hardware! Fly safe mate!
Very cool. Hinges are much the same as I have using shifter/joystick. Most important, happy wife then happy life. Thank you. I am from Belfast northern Ireland, I am not apologising for my accent or English.
That's a pretty cool setup. And there is nothing wrong with your English. There are native speakers that are much harder to understand. I have no problem understanding you.
Wow that is the coolest rig I have ever seen.... not sure what it cost you, but you have done a fantastic job at engineering it and designing it. you should build a web site and sell off your plans and material list as special access. Even do a deal with the suppliers so that you can place all the links in your site and get affiliate kickbacks for the boost in the sales ! :)
My gaming room is set up to convert. I needed to be able to switch out controllers to civilian, and also helicopter. I also needed to be able to fold everything up, and use the room for VR.
People for whom English is a second language often apologize for misusing or mispronouncing words. I assure you my friend, the people who would complain about such things are not likely to know a 2nd language. More often than not, they barely have a grasp of their 1st.... But yeah that's an impressive set-up!
Looks very cool!!! And gives me some ideas of what I can use myself as I am in the process of putting a new set up together. I am interested in learning more of the structure you used for all that. Can you add some info of which one is it and where to get it? Also if you could tell us where to find the seat in Alibaba it would be great. Thanks a lot.
sorry for the late reply. You can find software and parts name from may-cad.com , and for the seat I will check the supplier if they have an Alibaba link.
@@Legobirds thanks. Yes, I am using maycad, it is really helpful. Regarding the seat it would be great, thanks a lot. It is very difficult to find one and those I found are quite expensive.
Looks like the clearance from the 18 and 16 throttles is really tight. Seems it would be easy to clean some switches if you forget to move everything forward...nice setup, tho. I'm looking at getting an extrusion setup here soon as well.
Bro your English is great! Also you should charge money to try your setup! I would pay to try it it looks incredible Question: how do you see the buttons in VR? Question 2: Where can I find those SN-2 rudder pedals? Are they only available in China?
Woah I'm so jealous! It would be so cool to have even just the throttle and stick from the F18 but I don't really have the room for a whole rig like this
That's amazing. I'm a long way from that but will get there eventually. I love the hinge idea for the displays. The Winwing MIP is my next purchase. You appeared to move the entire rig around quite easily. Are there wheels on the bottom of the frame? It would appear that getting in and out of that setup is not unlike getting in and out of the real thing. I was in the US Navy for 12 years and worked on some high end aircraft on several different carriers (a bit before the FA-18 showed up, unfortunately). Are those Virpil pedals or Turtle Beach? I have a set of Saitek pedals which I absolutely hate. I thought about the Turtle Beach set but they aren't all metal like the Virpil set, and the Winwing stuff kind of has me wanting everything to be all metal.
Winwing need to make panels specifically for the F-16 - I don't like this having to use F-18 stuff and then cobble together a few extra bits to make it sorta kinda be an F-16.
Wow, nice rig! I have a question, though: how and why do you operate the buttons in front of you in VR if you can't see them? Isn't it more convenient to use the clickable cockpit? Or can you set everything up that using them feels natural?
This looks super cool and I bet it was a lot of work! But it´s very creativ and really well designed. Great!! (...the most surprising thing for me however is that you have a wife....just joking 😀)
Great rig! What do you think of the FSSB stick? Easy to set up? Convenient in the sim? Does it feel as a good quality product? I am curious because I think of getting one.
I haven't try any other FSSB sticks, so for me I think this Winwing FSSB stick is OK. A little bit tricky to adjust by the screws. And the moving range is not so much, just about 5mm I think. Winwing quality is just OK, not so good. As far as I have used, they are OK. Due to its price, I think it's worthy to buy.
@@Legobirds curious... you say WinWing quality is just okay. Why do you have all WinWing setup if you're not enthusiastic about their quality? Serious question since I've just ordered an Orion 2 Max HOTAS, but I can still cancel and go with another vendor.
Hello, sorry if you already answered. I was just wondering what that button panel is called? It's a cluster of buttons (Left side just above throttle) and I don't think it's winwing
I have all the same equipment as you setup on a custom profile rig. Can you explain a little more on how you have both throttles mounted? I want to be able to swap between 16/18 on the fly without having to move much around
You're too High Speed and low drag for me 😁 but a excellent setup and space saver aspects too. Would of loved to know what type of foot petals? Good video 🇺🇲
What is the point of the hardware if you're in VR? Can't you not see the stuff with the headset on? Or is there a way to calibrate the VR cockpit such that the hardware is seamless to select with the helmet on?
Use hardware is faster than mouse click, just need some practice to build the muscle memory. And if you set it right, the position could be the same in the VR.
How do you line up the virtual hands with the real rig?? For me it’s a lot of feeling around now. With 2.9 we got to line up the digital hands and turn off the action which helps a LOT but unfortunately the extra axis only work for the left digital hand.

Maybe the URL is wrong?
@@Legobirds thanks for this info.
Best quote ever "sometimes you need to use your computer for other things like...playing other games!!!"
Bro dropped some serious money at the winwing shop. Looks like true passion. Awesome man
I'm ashamed at the community that this insane setup gets only 9000 views, it deserves way more than that!
thank you for surpporing.
haha~
I blame it all on You Tube itself. they don't really know what's going on.
This didn't age well lol
It's not the community. It's the TH-cam algorithm.

I really like how your setup has a “Happy wife, happy life” setting which also reduces the overall size of the rig! Lol 😊
Nothing wrong with the English and nothing wrong with the setup. Great stuff man. Really impressive.
Thank you!
You have a great setup! Also, your English is some of the best I have ever heard!
This setup is amazing! I dream about having a setup like this one day.

Thank you!
Absolutely baller setup, man. Very nice, very clearly something that you've tailored to yourself. I appreciate the Razer Tartarus for extra bindings.
Thank you.
That's a nice set up man! I like the folding MFD's! Smart..

Thank you for you advice. This is an easy design and seat rack. I don't think it's worth a sale. You can find anything on may-cad.org.
Great setup and attention to detail, would love to experience the DCS in such an environment. Your english is very good tho. Keep it up
Thank you.
Perfect. The issue with a one to one home cockpit is that it's so restrictive. I love the idea of a super modular setup
Thank you!
English is great! Love the set up!!
I have a 4040 rig too... this is amazing, very creative. Great job!
Thank you!
Wow now that's an awesome set up, and your English is absolutely excellent by the way!
Thank you!

dude this is my ultimate dream setup
Cool set up man. Making me dcs jealous. I have the winwing f/a 18 set up and love it.
Thank you!

Really nice job there 👍

yes, 18 and 16 throttles is tight. the base of the 16's will touch the switches on 18's. But I can also make the 16 throttle not moving.
My setup folds down to so I can use the computer for other things. It does help.
Good to know that helps.
Very nice, great work!
Thank you!
Bro your English is great! Also you should charge money to try your setup! I would pay to try it it looks incredible
Question: how do you see the buttons in VR?
Question 2: Where can I find those SN-2 rudder pedals? Are they only available in China?
Can not see the button, only by touching and muscle memory.
I think the SN-2 only available in China.
You can try VPC (virpil controls) rudders.
@@Legobirds thank you. How much do the SN-2 cost in China? And where do you buy them?
Nice set up
Thank you!
Nice rig!
Thank you.
My wife would leave me if I ever spent the money on a toy like this LOL.
Awesome, you have cool setup 🤙
Thank you!
Really awesome looking setup and well explained! Would've loved some in game footage of you in that rig though.
Thank you!
Actually I made one video, check my channel.
Damn thats a big investment xD
That's a really nice designed sim pit!
Thank you!
Woah I'm so jealous! It would be so cool to have even just the throttle and stick from the F18 but I don't really have the room for a whole rig like this
Actually it takes a space not bigger than a desk and chair.
Wow! just wow! 😲
Really nice. Enjoy!
Thank you for watch!

1. Yes, there are 6 wheels under the rig; 2. The pedal is custom made. You've got really fantastic job before!! Salute!
Very cool.
I want to play DCS just because of this. Just worried I won’t have the patience..
Just think yourself as a real pilot.
Beautiful setup!
Thank you!

Smart transformer function
this is exactly what i have in mind.
Thank you!

I pre ordered the mfssb. Any idea on how long it takes for it to come out? Are they usually back in stock soon?
Can you make plans or put together a material list for the frame/pit. your folding solution seems like it would work for my purpose as well.
Sorry for the late reply. I will try to make a video and file upload if time is ok for me. Thank you for watching!
its...sooo....beauutifullll....our eyes arent worthy 😆🥰😍🥹
Is there any way you could send your MayCad file (maybe upload it to a google drive or something) ? this rig is really amazing
I will upload to google docs.
@@Legobirds Hey, anything yet ? Again really good setup

How do you install it I recentely brought the PTO2 items i don't table mounts just the stand clip but have similar structure like you
What chair are you using? I have been looking for one with, the cutout for the flight stick, for awhile now.

@@Legobirds can you share the link with us?
