This man has a Hanger... an actual plane... a house big enough for a cockpit installation... the money for a cockpit simulation.... AND the free time to put it all together. That is the dream. That is a hobby budget I could only dream of having.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat yeah when I saw the picture I realized why he rather spend 4yrs in the basement... perhaps before the kids all was epic but who knows ;)
Spore Hux you bought the «Alex» didn’t you? 9 drawers, It’ll take you a decade to finish, given that you got all the parts & tools in the package. Spacecraft have been made faster.
Speaking as a B737 pilot (15 years, 10 thousand hours on type, flown all generations,except the Max which I was about to fly before ours were grounded) and simulator enthusiast.....I've never seen such up close pictures of the intricacies of our control setup, only technical diagrams during training. Also, you're a maniac, and I mean that in the best possible way! Yes, for us, simulator time is pretty close to a root canal or something like that, I'd rather not step in one again, but this is true dedication. I'm not sure anybody who just sees the final product would appreciate the level of tenacity and skill this took to set up. An absolutely amazing job! As far as simulators go, I peaked at making a custom stick extension for my Thrustmaste Cougar, and adding hall effect sensors!
I have worked for an airline company for 30 years, where i got so lucky to be part of the development and the construction of several cockpit mock-up trainers of different airplanes like B-747, B-737 -200, -300 and even a Lockheed C-130 Hercules. And when i reflect back upon that, those were the best years of my whole career i had. Nothing brings more fulfillment to make something that looks just like the real deal when it is finished. Seeing this video brings back all of those good memories.
You did like what most of us do - this is done for the love of the hobby. My hobby is model railroading, yours was flight simulators. We both try to do the most realistic representation of our particular hobby, Mine was trains and yours was creating an Airliner. And yes, both are very costly when adding all the realistic details and operations. Though your simulator setup is more costly and harder to create. Thanks for showing this amazing cockpit of an Airliner Simulator. Take care.
Reading the comments of those before me almost makes me not need to say anthing but..."What they said!" I have a huge respect for you in the thoughtful organization and filming as your project progressed and for your friendship in sharing it all with us! And as said before, "Wow, just WOW!"
You are a genius Peter. This is a dream of mine to build my own too. And yes I would like to have the actual 737-800 NG nose- my favorite of the series. I have always wanted to be an airline pilot as a child but that never materialize due to financial constraints. Now, I am grown man in my early 40s. So the next real thing to being an actual airline pilot is to be in a Sim. You are an inspiration to me and I am certain to many others. For now, enjoy safe flights and soft landings.
Awesome ........................ your final comments about how the project has influenced the children who have visited it, I found very moving. WELL DONE!
Absolutely nuts . The amount of smart and knowledgeable that went into this is crazy . How does one learn all of this , mechanical engineer or electrical . Awesome stuff,
Amazing job. I found your video looking around for projection simulations because I am doing the same project but with a UH-1 Huey. Only the tail boom is removed so the sliding doors operate. Pilots will have full functioning controls and a 270 degree screen with 3 projectors. And for kicks, two door gunners will be on station to operate the door guns but will using VR headsets. Operates off of DCS so I can create my own missions and enemy forces. Should be a hoot. lol
you are my new father ...(mmhmhmm clearing throat) ..."FATHER!" thank you for demonstrating "commitment"and the importance of being thorough ..and seeing things through ...This was so much more than watching a build ..this was pure inspiration ..Dad! kidding w the dad stuff ..but, seriously "thank you"
With all the whats going on in our country and the fighting and the disrespect you Sir took me on a 45 minute journey of pure bliss. Don't let anyone criticize or take away what you did. If they could do better than more power to them. Let them build one in their basement. You my friend are a artist a picasso of aviation. You took something from scrap and made it truly art for all to enjoy for ever. You have to get this out there for more people to see. Like in have aviation magazine do a article. All I can say is Thank you and Bravo Bravo Bravo and yes Thankyou Mrs.
I have no interest in planes, but knowing just how much time a project like this takes I ended up eating every second of this video! One thing is the build, but your motivation gotta be the best thing about it
I'm a Captain with the greatest 737 operator in the U.S. I also helped my good friend assemble a very realistic F-16 sim ($80k+) and he recently bought a T-34A which we flew together. I am very into microcontrollers and robotics, CNC and machining and anything automation. You and I definitely have a lot in common! I have thoroughly enjoyed trying to catch up on your videos after I found your channel. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
@@peterkwu Would love to be able to see this setup. I get to that area often (just a computer guy with a huge aviation interest). I don't see a way to send a PM here.
working @ Boeing Renton 737 Final Assy I've seen the Assy Process from Flow Day 1 to 9 (Roll Out) sat in the seats as well but never flown or anything of the like. but I'd say you have done a pretty good job getting it pretty damned close! It puts a smile on my face to see the photos of the kids enjoying what you've done here!
Man I tskr my hst off to you for the time energy committment knowledge and most of all, patience in building this 737 simulator. I started doing my pilot license years ago but after doing everything with roughly 60 hours cross country completed, never did go and do my final flying test check-off. Here I am 30 years later (63) getting the flyiung bug again, Will never be able to afford or have the time to do what incredible job you've done, but would love to have a decent home simulator to work on protocols for flying instrument approches. If I do start flying again it will include becoming instrument rated! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for taking the time to share your project. Its hard to keep up taking photos and recording the process especially when its a long project like this!
Wow. I would have loved to have been your neighbor. As an electrical engineer that went into computer science as a profession, mechanical and electrical engineering is still a love and hobby. Computer software and hardware not so much. Anyway, helping out as a second hand would have been a blast. Awesome project, great job. Amazing work. Cheers.
Hi Peter, Congratulations on your engineering masterpiece, simply brilliant in the planning, design and engineering both at a mechanical and electronics levels. As a retired electronics engineer I have a ton of respect for how you pulled that side together.......the mechanical side just completely blows me away, just awesome. Loved your approach to the project as I say you don’t have problems only solutions, which you had in spades. You have much to be proud of and at the end of your video recognising your family and their patience and support is gold. Equally the thrill of see your children and no doubt their friends fly the sim. I put together a motion racing sim pretty much for my grandkids and the joy they get from that is also gold. Thanks for sharing your experience in the brilliant way you did in your 45 minute presentation. I was riveted! 😀👍 Regards, Ian
For me the last picture at the end of the video makes the whole project worth its while. I've undertaken a few projects where I found out there were a zillion more things to learn about than i bargained for at the start, just like you and seeing the joy on that boys face as he sits in the pilot's seat made me smile. What a great experience for him. And for you! Congratulations on getting this far and here's to the last 10% of the job.
9:00 I'm a pipe welder and just to let you know, you should not only wear Safety Glasses but also a face Shield. Probably not to critical with the "Tiger Paw"/ Flap Disc but any grinding wheel, Cut-off wheel or wire wheel most definitely. And don't forget your handle. The Jobs I work at, Safety Personal will fire you on the spot for not having a Guard, handle or face shield. I see many people who are DIY'ers that ignore any of that. I've been to the Eye doctor myself 2 times removing metal from my eye balls. They had to use a small grinder to get it out. When it comes to my eyeballs I don't take any chances. BTW Your Simulator is Incredible !!!
@@ze_german2921 I have gotten a piece of a single grinding wheel in my eye working on a farm as young adult. I was not that stupid again and I was able to get a friend to take it out. I'd imagine it would be worse will aluminum as it's not magnetic. Also I was scared as hell when I got an MRI years ago thinking of a giant magnet pulling a missed steel wire, but it was all good!
Stunning work :) I want to make a simpit, but to the scale and budget of someone living in a rented flat in a European city, and making full use of the 80/20 rule. Just replacing a desk and swivel chair with a fixed seat and fixed controls makes suuuch a huge difference.
That is cool as hell. These home built Sims are getting to the point where they rival qualification simulators. In terms of flight deck environment, this one is probably better than a one, as it's literally a decapitated 737. Someone is going to build one on a hydraulic gimbal at some point, if not already.
When I saw the control panel lying on the bed, I thought, “That must have been after the divorce.” Your wife must be pretty special to have put up with you and your hobby/obsession for so long. Fantastic job.
I'm a scale modeller (probably why this popped up as related content?), an engineer and an electronics nerd amongst a few things and I applaud your project - and that you followed through until finished! Not just acquiring a real cockpit but for reverse engineering the electronics you kept, and marrying them to the simulated parts. No small task! It also made me very happy that you let children explore and get a glimpse of what it might be to be a pilot? Who knows, one of them might become a pilot one day just because of this ;) Really well documented and a huge thanks for sharing because even us non pilot types find this impressive and amazing!
Very well done. What an awesome simulator. BTW, what you call a die grinder is just called a grinder. A die grinder is a very different beast. Whatever you want to call it, you've done very well using it to turn your cockpit into a giant Lego set.
Wow! what an undertaking. Well done.. Ive been toying with a similiar idea for a sim project but man thats on a whole other level. thanks for the post.
Absolutely amazing!!!!! Love you dedication to perfection and perseverance. I was so sure by the end you,d say you were now single but your also blessed with a wonderful wife. Thank you for a wonderful video.
This Project was obviously a labor of love man....Documented so well, and The project itself was one of the most compelling things I have ever seen...I would have love to work on this for free just to learn.....like the preverbal "Grasshopper" of Kung Foo old series...Man I am truly impressed..Thanks for sharing this..God Bless you and your family...!
Simply put...Incredible Job! I cannot believe that your wife and family stayed with you through this epic proje ct! I wish I could do one-tenth your knowledge and ability to make this work. You ARE MY HERO PETER!! AWESOME JOB! GREAT VIDEO!!
Sir, you are just amazing!!! You left me speechless the whole time watching on your video, your amazing breath taking art work!! Of course I have subscribed!!
Amazing work. I'm jealous. It's been a over 4 years since this was posted, would you mind creating a new video showing the latest update on this project? I'm sure many of us would appreciate it. Thanks for sharing.
This is an absolutely incredible project! I love it and wish I could see it. I have a great deal of respect for your perseverance and commitment to finish such a huge project.
Well done Peter, your project looked liked a momentous task. Congratulations on completing your sim, unfortunately I never finished mine, moving house and my private flying taking most my time. I used some of the FDS products and can agree, they make fantastic parts. Safe flying in the real world.
I don't even know anything about planes, to be honest. I had no idea that this was as large of a hobby as it is, but after seeing this video, I honestly want to have my friend (who's a pilot) build one of these with me :)
Man, that's awesome. You need to make videos of you flying and post them into your channel. Use your channel for sharing your flight experiences. Congrats to your excellent job
That is truly amazing! Congratulations on the excellent job. I've been working on my panel upgrade (on my real airplane- Vans RV6-A) and I'm 8 months into it and exhausted. Your project is exceptionally well done. I'm jealous :)
Love the video and build. Nice job. You might want to color balance your projectors or it could be an issue with the GPU. I watched your video five times already. It's inspirational.
Amazing work and dedication, I love my flight sims but I've never gotten much further than a desktop, keyboard, joystick and a set of pedals. The projects I tend to get myself into are more automotive related. I have a big project to start on in the next few months and seeing the shear amount of dedication and time you've spent building a flight sim for simple pleasure and a risk free in-depth immersive experience for essentially playing a video game really gives me inspiration to push through the leaps and hurdles I'll experience in my next automotive project. Kudos to you man, absolutely amazing setup.
I see structural extrusion parts on this this that I CNC machine to this day! Ha that’s crazy, grant it I’ve only been doing it since 2012. Any 737 fuselage is built here in Wichita, KS. Case in point at 39:25 this smaller “L” shaped parts located by the spring system you built. I’m seeing a lot of familiar parts all through out this video!! Pretty darn impressive!!!!
Sir, you are a pleasure to listen to, your explanations of how you accomplished this feat are amazing. Good luck in all of your future projects and flying.
What a great project! We'd like to see some flight videos ! All the way through your video I was thinking " what does his wife think about all this?"...Got my answer at the end of the video. Peter, she's a keeper.
This man has a Hanger... an actual plane... a house big enough for a cockpit installation... the money for a cockpit simulation.... AND the free time to put it all together.
That is the dream. That is a hobby budget I could only dream of having.

That is cool as hell. These home built Sims are getting to the point where they rival qualification simulators. In terms of flight deck environment, this one is probably better than a one, as it's literally a decapitated 737. Someone is going to build one on a hydraulic gimbal at some point, if not already.

I just watched 45 minutes of madness 😲🤪🤯 😂 and I'm speechless Thank you for putting this into the world!
Amazing, such a beautiful project
This is a great project. Thanks for sharing. I love to fly. Maybe some day I'll make my own
You can do it!
Incredible ingenuity and perseverance. Safe Skies!
Congratulations on this project, Peter. Really inspiring.
Love the video and build. Nice job. You might want to color balance your projectors or it could be an issue with the GPU. I watched your video five times already. It's inspirational.
Amazing work and dedication, I love my flight sims but I've never gotten much further than a desktop, keyboard, joystick and a set of pedals. The projects I tend to get myself into are more automotive related. I have a big project to start on in the next few months and seeing the shear amount of dedication and time you've spent building a flight sim for simple pleasure and a risk free in-depth immersive experience for essentially playing a video game really gives me inspiration to push through the leaps and hurdles I'll experience in my next automotive project. Kudos to you man, absolutely amazing setup.
Perfect 👌🏾 your the king of sim cockpits
i cant believe I watched the whole video. very interesting project
Incredible, I don't know what else to say.
Absolutely awesome! That video made my day! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video, loved it.
That is really Impressive. It won my👍and subscription. I am a fellow flight sim enthusiast and this really made my day.
I was about to ask if your wife left you but I see at the end she’s still there. Jeez, this is an amazing project.
I just simply habe to say: WOW !!!
.... and thanks for sharing!
Greetings from Frnkfurt, Germany .....
I see structural extrusion parts on this this that I CNC machine to this day! Ha that’s crazy, grant it I’ve only been doing it since 2012. Any 737 fuselage is built here in Wichita, KS. Case in point at 39:25 this smaller “L” shaped parts located by the spring system you built. I’m seeing a lot of familiar parts all through out this video!! Pretty darn impressive!!!!
Thanks for building such a sturdy airplane! I love my real Boeing parts because I know they will take all kinds of abuse and never break!
Sir, you are a pleasure to listen to, your explanations of how you accomplished this feat are amazing. Good luck in all of your future projects and flying.
What a great project! We'd like to see some flight videos ! All the way through your video I was thinking " what does his wife think about all this?"...Got my answer at the end of the video. Peter, she's a keeper.
