"The ejection seat… everything works"
*pulls yellow handle
*patches hole in roof
*builds new, cosmetic seat
It's a real motivator to succeed in the missions I'll bet.
😂
DundeeDriver i was going to ask if after he pulls the face curtain does the roof open up to fire the seat...lol
*apologizes to wife for mess
*remembers has no wife, goes back for another run.
I showed my wife this video, her comment was simply “No!”
What I got was "Don't. Even. Think. About. It."
Seriously, I'm a 737 pilot and this sim amazes me. Good work.
I feel your pain mate.......mine said the same thing.
HAHAHA lol . Awesome
a big slap in her face
@@csakbencee Dude you have not met her - she would beat you till you wept for mercy.
I'm a Hawg driver in real life and this thing is crazy in its accuracy. I've seen the more recent updates on Instagram and your knack for making everything work very close to reality is to be commended. Great work, thanks for doing my baby justice!
Chris Andreychik do you play dcs?
Charlie Alpha 11F3B Could you get him a ride?
I was in Afghanistan with army special forces back right after 9-11. You guys are the heat. The air Force is retarded for wanting to replace the A10. Years ago I got to participate in CAS training with an ATAC . We gave the hawgs from Pope a difficult target for their gun run. The atac wanted to show us how to think about the pilots perspective when giving a target grid. The hawgs were linen up wrong after their release point (we could see it from the ground) so we sent a correction and all they had to do was a quick jog of the wings and they were dead on. Love the burrrrrp!
I'm a marine and you guys were doing some training with a couple of those hawgs at camp lejune one day several years ago.me and 15 other Marines were sitting on a log at the wood line eating chow and we seen the hawgs flying around an thought nothing about it... UNTILL... You guys shot the cannon off and I'll tell ya,those trees intensified the sound and we all jumped up,took off running at the same time cause we thought our asses had been had!! After a few seconds of our gunny laughing at us,he said..I knew that was gonna happen,just didn't know when..GOOD TIMES!!! We Marines have RESPECT for the A-10's
"Im a hawg driver in real life" You mean pilot? nice try though.
When I learned to fly the A10 twenty years ago, we had no simulator. First flight was for real and solo! Great job on the build!
All you got left is a 3-axis motion control actuation system! Very nice setup!
This is absolutely amazing! I can't imagine all the hours you have into making that thing become a working sim cockpit.
Wouldn't it be easier to just get a real A-10? ;-p
There's a Pic-a-part in Arizona that might have something... 🙃
One of the best home built sims I’ve ever seen, great job mate.
Where's the cup holder? Just kidding. That's freaking brilliant.
It's in the ride-hand side panel.. at 2:07 look at the bottom of the screen where the remote is.
Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbol "Warthog" flight simulator made by a government contractor, 1.5 million per unit. Comparable simulator made by this guy, under 10k.
Dude, thats so amazing. And im so happy that I could see this beauty being built. At least part of it ;) Truly amazing, honestly
Ahhh, the good old ACES II ejection seat. Very Nice.
This is amazing. The best homecockpit what i seen ever! Great work.
"kinda wanna play death stranding today.... guess ill just fly the A10C again"
This deserves more than just a thumbs up!
This is one of the best setups i've seen!
That thing is crazy good. And here I thought I'd be clever one of these days and build a switchbox or two. Hats off to you, sir, well done.
That's exactly how this all started. It was two little switch boxes. It just kept getting bigger!
This is the best home pit I've ever seen, and an the work you have done is absolutely top-notch. The dedication and ingenuity really show, and I'm very happy to be able to see the project.
Very kind of you to also show how you made it, instead of jealously guarding your know-how. You are a very cool dude, sir :)
Wow damn that's impressive. I'm an fa18 guy but that's the closest sim I've seen better than the real fa18 simulator in real life. Can u give me info on a fa18c model one. Thanks DUKE. VFA-192.
Ohhhh Myyyy Looord!!!.... I took my nephew to a CAP cadet show and they had a B-1 simulator. He was in left seat, we had the greatest time.
I think you should build a canopy over it and have 270° projection
If he does a canopy it would be better to put in multiple LCD screens, trick would be finding screens the same dimensions as the glass panels.
With canopy closed,cant hear the mrs bitchen either..
This is amazing. You should be proud of yourself .... this is really an awesome flight sim you’ve put together.
Wow! That is an amazing build. I'm blown away. Thanks for sharing it on TH-cam. 👏👏👏👍
Umm this is INCREDIBLE ....HOW
Many hours of work here. Truly remarkable, beautiful job. Would love one of these one day.
Now that is a Man Cave!
My wife wants me to make her a she shed, but only on the condition that a flight simulator is included.
Please, send your first production model to me. We’ll talk money when you’re comfortable with the result. A Ferrari wouldn’t be a bad second placer...
Inversion fucks my head up, all I can do is crash :)
I admire the work you've put in, very cool, checking this out after seeing the 3 projector warping video YT fed me.
It's pronounced Tay-can :) Awesome setup. I"m as green as your lights lol
‘ Truly unbelievable, very very very impressive, any one who scoffs, or exclaims at the ease of replicating this project are wankers with very small small, or no genitals , If I had the money , I would be paying you what ever some of money to have you sell me this simulator, very smart man , WOW, WOW, well done ! Many hours of enjoyment, I build scale static models and love WW2 and modern planes , the amount of detail and time , can take up to one year for a 1/24 scale plane so,
At least this project , you get to fly !!! The finished project and stick it in a cabinet ,well done , very inspirational to someone trying to follow your steps , I wouldn’t know where to start, so wish I was your neighbour , definitely leaving money on top of your fridge every time I would sit in this incredible simulator, well done , your father must , has to be very proud !
Looks absolutely stunning. Could you let us know what the overall dimensions are. Eg. total width and length as well as totals for one of the consoles - just to get a feel for space required etc? Thank you much
Great work - envy factor 100 🙂
Retired USAF aircraft maintainer here.. Have you ever thought about doing remove before fight pins for the seat? Would add even more realism. You are awesome.
Just showed my wife...….she is going to build me one. What a woman!
You are joking correct?
where in the world are you based..i like your laser etch videos...im getting into building a cock pit for euro truck simulator..i even have a drivers seat from a scania truck...logo is stitched into the leather
Excellent project! Your enthusiasm and dedication are evident in this final product and you are indeed worthy of praise for your effort!!
Wow just amazing. You do a great work.... its a dream cockpit. I realy like how you do it.
What's this for? Is it a training device? Or just for fun? It's amazing
The military spends millions on sims
You do it for a few grand lol 😂
Imagine 2 more projectors in that perfect size spare room's white walls.
awesome - fecken awesome .......the only word that comes to mind
Tom Scott was right, also, i thought this channel was gonna be about building a halo warthog lol
Amazing work!
i want this so much it makes my face hurt
can i move in, i do what ever it takes (if you know what i mean.)
I'd love to see one of these for a Huey mate, well done.
And the point of these things???? You don't get the feeling of motion. You fly a few flight profiles of low res cartoon images then boredom. Then the whole thing sits taking up space.
I bet this guy is fun at parties!
If you can output the HUD over black, you might be able to make a simulated heads up display. Get some coated half silvered plexi like they use on teleprompters. then put the plexi on a 30 or 45 degree angle with a screen underneath with the reveresed image. Should shine up onto the plexi, yet you see through it. Might be a trick to line it up, so might have to design in threaded adjusters, but give more realism. The game's brightness for HUD may make for accurate adjustment on cockpit knob.

Hi Ray, your simpit is truly amazing. Superb work
Craig S Thanks mate! Appreciate your help as well, your videos helped a lot!
Great sim! - If you're on facebook, please join our group, "Australian Sim. Builders Group". -Fantastic!
Can I come over to your house to play?
aaaht me too!
The thing of many dreams......
I found your channel by chance when I clicked on the video about making panels with the laser cutter. I am truly in awe at the level of detail, and the sheer scope of this build.
lol me too and now I need this :)
Hahaha 😂 guys!... I did the EXACT same thing!
WTF I need this...Does anyone know how does those gauges communicate with PC simulator running game ?
So this is what people do in quarantine
Loving this Sim bud, awesome job, can you do a review on the warthog hotas and I'm looking to get into flight Sims
Awesome set up....all is missing is the tactical keg holder that attaches to a camel back....and you are set for those long distance missions.
You should consider putting framing in for the front of the cockpit. Cut heavy sheet plastic and paint it to look like aluminum
about sound you can put a big speaker in each side simulating the engines and somehow make the sound come corresponding to each engine.
wow cant believe you got it all working! i plan to build the seat and cockpit but i use VR oculus rift so i may not do all this. but really nice!
amazing job, and the Warthog is the best plane ever. I had designed a mech cockpit for the first mechwarrior game but I just never got the chance to build it.
I’m more into sim racing but holly ! Nice job 👍🏻
Too bad the seat doesn’t move to match how you control the flight. That set up though is just awesome. You did a great job
the thumbnail gone wrong
Some day I'll build something like this, once I'm out of this one bedroom apartment.
Or I'll just build it in the living room.
I'm trying to talk my other half into giving up another bedroom for a Viper. Not going so well so far...
@@thewarthogproject Not sure I would put a viper in a hypothetical third bedroom. Maybe something like a private jet or a 737 though...
AWESOME!!!!! How much??
"everything for ejection works" ... except the ejection itself i hope ^^
I’m pissing with envy
Awesome buddy
The Warthog is the shit...
Have no idea how did you manage to make that great stuff... you’re really skillful man
Why not vr?
Wow, that is really awesome, great job! What’s the name of the music in the intro?
holy shit that is cool. pre kids and wife of course. party on!
Why warthog you're not even American?
Why not?
freaking amazing work mate. Just enjoy it. Good flights
Superb workmanship and ingenuity. Very well done indeed!
Arma 3 bro
Fantastic work mate.
Whoa!
WOW!!! Nice Work
Off the charts mate, unbelievable! You must be so proud and you should be, it's absolutely beautiful. What specs you got if you don't me asking.. 1080Ti, 7700k, 32DDR?
yes yes and yes. and yes.
You need to connect that to a radio control plane in fly it from your room
Are you using Air Manager for your instruments or Panel Builder? Your set up looks great and highly detailed great job, and looking forward to your future videos. Cheers!
The sim is DCS World, using a program called Helios to display the panels.
Omg love it
WOW, just WOW. I have always dreamed of having something like this, since I was a kid. Playing DOS sims like Falcon 3d and Aces High. Just found your channel and subscribed. I cannot wait to watch the building of this impressive, ummm fight sim? flight chair?
Absolutely fantastic. Great job
Very cool...
Dude..... I need a mop now to pick up my drool....
Spectacular!! Congrats on all your hard work!
Holy shit
Awesome work!!! Very cool!!! Congratulations!!!
Wow, that’s incredible!!
No wonder the air support Is takes Forever jet startup how about a video about a speed test how fast can you start up the aircraft by the way amazing build
Haha i will actually make that video!
WOW ! ! !
No, senpai! I`m gonna BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
amazing
Why not go and get a plane or become a fighter pilot ?
Sorry
You are a Genius! Very ice job! One of the nicest jobs done! Are you some kind of a construction or designer guy!? You could sell sim flying time on that 👍🤘🔥🍺$$$
Thanks! Definately not a professional, just a hobbiest who learned via TH-cam!
WOW!
This project is amazing.
