Wow, a lot of work went into this! I put a $400 oculus on my head and I’m sitting and feeling my way around a 737 cockpit! It gives me goosebumps. Zibo mod 737 on xplane 11 with the audio pack is freaking unbelievable, and every switch works!
I'm building a basic version very cheaply! Using the same wooden frame, a TV I'm using as a monitor (connected to my laptop with a hdmi cable) that was just lying around my house , a wireless keyboard as an overhead panel, and a saitek joystick (I like them over the yoke) and done. It's good for begginers who get confused by hardware
You reminded me that the time when i didn’t have the luxury of parents buying toy, I made my own toys a bit at a time use various available materials and which took time and dedication. At end, I had so much fun playing with it and kept it for a long time. I can tell you enjoyed and had fun for the entire process of building the cockpit. Great job.
Good job setting all that up! Years ago, back in FS98, 2002, and 2004 I was really into Flight Simulation. I could have only dreamed of having a similar setup. I'm glad to see people keeping the FS community going. :)
From one builder to another - excellent work! Simple and very immersive. I never thought of using a poster behind the panel switches. I'm stealing that!
Great video. You were very detailed and clear in your explanations and this video seems that it would be very helpful to anyone interested in a project like this.
i must admit i dont have what it takes to build such an setup and the willpower to actually learn how to use it :) but i gotta say sir....you have earned my utmost admiration and respect with this video alone ! =)
The PC i m using rt now has a better processor bro( I7 8th gen, 2 gb Radeon), Plz upgrade. Its a marvel u have designed. Great work for a kid like u!! Keep it up!!
Hi! I just wanted to say you're a *really* nice guy for going to all the trouble of putting this up on TH-cam with all the information so easily presented. Thank you so much. You've given me the inspiration to go and do this for myself. Thank you, and good luck :o)
Thank god for affordable VR in 2020. I'm putting all my money into a motion simulator & nice headset for my homemade flight sim. Sure I'll miss out on the tactile experience of a setup like this, but I'll gain back the physical thrill of flying (to a degree). Plus, I'm mainly only interested in flying very small & ultralight aircraft, which don't have a lot of controls anyway..
Gutiest Video I ever saw Mav.....Seriously dude, it about time someone actually got into the programming of the buttons and switches and stuff.....thanks.
Hey, just wondering, where did you get the hardware for the overhead? I'm finding it very difficult to find appropriate switches and rotary selectors (rotary encoders are a whole other can of worms).
Thanks so much m8 I am starting to make my own cockpit now and a lot of the credit goes to you.... You gave such amazing tips and tricks thanks so much for the video!!!!!
Hi Demetris, a great project, it was a big surprise looking your video, it looks rely easy to make it! I will try to make it in my home in Manaus, Amazon, Brazil.
That's amazing! My dream is to become a pilot but I'm am only young, so I do not not how to fly a plane in that much detail. I have the game and play on it a lot but I am not that good. You are amazing and I would love to be able to fly like you one day ( and build that cockpit) ✈️
That's a great video thanks. I have a full cockpit ( 2/3 rd scale ) for a a-7 corsair I'm currently getting set up. I'm learning how to interface the controls with the computer. Your info is helpful.
@GreatFlyer, that's an awesome and very impressive DIY home cockpit you've got there! It was a treat watching your video, and it reflects your passion for flight simming! You just earned a like and a new subscriber for your efforts! 👍
REALLY AWESOME MAN... UNBELIEVABLE, I WONDER IF YOU COULD DO LIKE THIS IN MY HOME. I REALLY LIKED IT... I THINK YOU ARE OR WILL BE A PILOT IN NEAR FUTURE...
I know the Guy from FlightSimPM - traded tech emails with him long before he started making the TQ's - His skill is amazing and his prices very fair..How do you like the TQ you bought ?
Τουλάχιστον ιδιοφυές! Από μικρή μου άρεσαν τα αεροπλάνα, και γενικά είχα προσπαθήσει πολλές φορές να μάθω με το FSX να πετάω αλλά λόγω έλλειψης χρόνου τα παρατούσα. Τώρα πια που είμαι φοιτήτρια ασχολούμαι εδώ και κανένα μήνα έχοντας ένα απλό joystick για αρχή. Good to know πως μπορείς να συναρμολογήσεις δικό σου πιλοτήριο με ουσιαστικά απλές διαδικασίες. Συνέχισε έτσι, καλες πτήσεις! :)
***** Ναι το σκέφτομαι, αλλά επειδή έχω μυωπία, δεν το έχω επιχειρήσει ποτέ. Δεν ξέρω αν επιτρέπουν σε μύωπες να πετούν, ακόμη και αν δεν είναι commercial ο σκοπός μου.
***** Έχεις απόλυτο δίκιο Δημήτρη! Αφού το λες εσύ, θα αρχίσω να ψάχνω για σχολές σήμερα κιόλας! Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ και συγχαρητήρια για αυτό σου το επίτευγμα! Και εις ανώτερα! Φιλιά στην αγαπημένη Κύπρο!
Thank you! you help me so much, but in Brasil (Brazil) is very expansive to do a home cockpit like you. The most simple throttle (Saitek PZ45) is about US$ 100-130
Awesome video. You have done a great job and I thank you for sharing it with us. I am very enthusiastic about flying by simulator and I want to have something similar to you. I did not know where to start but his video helps me to have a better idea. I have much to learn yet. Congrats!!!
Thank you very much. It is very easy to understand what you say. You also show all details, so no frustration. I like the overhead panel you built, but I think it would be difficult for me to build. A suggestion: Why don't you guys build and sell it online?
Its not so difficult as it seems. I for example downloaded a poster of the overhead (users.skynet.be/jcordon/cockpit/dimensions/images/737_overhd_B.jpg) In the next step I sent it to an internet poster shop for printing in the correct size. The poster is placed between two plexiglas plates, with holes drilled for switches. The poster is cut out where the announciators are placed. The announciators are made of the front plates (google for overhead 737 announciators) and LED holders made of U-profile plastic strips drilled with 2 5mm holes for holding the LEDs. The result can be seen in my channel.
Great stuff, thank you for documenting your endeavour so nicely, it's informative and inspiring. Hopefully you can find a way to become a real pilot, too!
That was brilliant! I don’t know if you read my comment after 3 years but man I fell in love with this, I can build this but I have no idea about wires and programing them. I got the FSUICP part but still it’s an ocean of mystery how to deal with those over head panel wires and program them (to connect PC) Hope you, or somebody else help me.
your Throttle Quantum does better move on second draw? Pretty good your right arm too high, try test throttle move on second that draw? if feel comfortable your right arm.

Such a lovely young man. Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation - thank you. It has inspired me to work on similar with my nephew.
Your nephew will love it :) Good luck!

Just keep doing what you are doing! Research lots before you increment each step. Contact me for specifics if you like...
Great video. You were very detailed and clear in your explanations and this video seems that it would be very helpful to anyone interested in a project like this.
I need to make one
i must admit i dont have what it takes to build such an setup and the willpower to actually learn how to use it :)

What a terrific, inspirational ...gift to the simulation world!
Thank you!

If I'm ever on a plane where the pilots croak, I really hope you're on it
You are a truly inspirational and clever Guy, I loved this video! at first I was smiling and now I am in awe! well done man
Gutiest Video I ever saw Mav.....Seriously dude, it about time someone actually got into the programming of the buttons and switches and stuff.....thanks.
Hey, just wondering, where did you get the hardware for the overhead? I'm finding it very difficult to find appropriate switches and rotary selectors (rotary encoders are a whole other can of worms).
Wow thanks. My dad saw this and he did this for me for my birthday
So cheaply build but DAMN, it's nice! AWESOME! Great job! Proves how much you can accomplish with dedication.
You for sure need to be a pilot, you are one smart kid.
nice use of okie desk etc. nice DIY simulator and the above keyboard was genius
The video answered almost all of my questions about cockpit. Thank you very much
wow that overhead is really cool
How much dose the entire flight sim cost??
Eagle gamer probably 1-2 thousand USD
yep... 1-2 THOUSAND USD
No, it costs about 3 Thousand USD
No it doesn't if you buy it on eBay
Wow... the motivated mind on a mission... awesome... and you upgraded over time too!
no it is not
Thanks so much m8 I am starting to make my own cockpit now and a lot of the credit goes to you.... You gave such amazing tips and tricks thanks so much for the video!!!!!
You are one incredible, Very Young Dude, talented, gifted, thanks for your extremely valuable contribution !
You are welcome, looking forward to more amazing contributions like this.
just started on flight sims loving it, but really this a lot of effort hats off to you man and yes this is my dream setup
Love the icons and cross in the background!
Haha you noticed :)
dude you are a simulator genious, big up, i think Boeing should see this
Polycarp Laurent Why should Boeing, the world's largest aerospace company, give a fuck about this?
Eisai trelos !!!
Sinxaritiria einai apla Teleio !!!

bravo bravo bravo !!!
this is brilliant. This is very encouraging and a very user friendly instructional vid for FSX players who may want to have their home cockpit
I normally never comment on youtube. But man, you did a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing!
Well made and edited video, fitting loads into a short space of time. Packed full of useful information. Brilliant job!
pretty awesome tGF, your a natural flyer m8, the only thing your missing in your cockpit is Track IR-5,
Salute!
Jesus.
2 words: You're brilliant.
What you've done is something my child-self would dream of, bravo to you.

You're a genius. Love guys with such talent and passion.
Ellines for ever !!! Very nice work !!!
What a fantastic video! Very clear and well produced - and what a great set up.
What a great cockpit you've made and an equally great video explaining everything, really really nice!
Great design work. You made your cockpit look really good! Congrats
First of all, amazing project! But it wouldve been cool if you post where u got those switches, the autopilot panel, the overhead poster etc.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback, mostly online from ebay/amazon or from fellow sim builders
Nice build video. Be proud simulator owner. Good done!
Absolutely fantastic video buddy...Happy flying. All the best from Scotland
@GreatFlyer, that's an awesome and very impressive DIY home cockpit you've got there!

Thank you so much for watching! Check out my latest video to see my progress from sim to real life 737!
@@greatflyer_aviation , awesome! 👍
Enjoyed your video and saw the best use of FSUIPC I have seen. Well done!
Very informative and well done tutorial. I'm also a cockpit buileder and I found that video usefull. Thank you and goodluck. Fly high !
REALLY AWESOME MAN... UNBELIEVABLE, I WONDER IF YOU COULD DO LIKE THIS IN MY HOME. I REALLY LIKED IT... I THINK YOU ARE OR WILL BE A PILOT IN NEAR FUTURE...

Just mind blowing! I’m kind of baffled.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video and cockpit - thanks for posting! Really useful info and diagrams too - Brilliant!
Thanks for watching, stay tuned!
What a great job ! Congratulations

Excelent video mate, hopefully I'll do this one day. I liked your homemade cockpit! Greetings from Mexico!
Perfect instruction for newbies👍
DUDE YOU ARE A LEGEND I NOW HAVE ONE JUST LIKE YOU
This is just...ingenious.
i dont know why but i watch this over and over agn...btw great set up i wished i had one of these...sad..
this is great work, i am glad to see you enjoying it! keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching, check out my new videos flying the real 737!
If you have the time and money you should raise the overhead panel
Higher and get a huge tv or 2 monitors that would be just ultimate
Not interested, I fly the real 737 now :)
great video - really nice job on explaining it all - thanks for posting
This is really cool cockpit!!!
One word " Superb"
Impressive. I will use some of your recommendations in my sim. Thanks for sharing!
Great stuff, thank you for documenting your endeavour so nicely, it's informative and inspiring. Hopefully you can find a way to become a real pilot, too!
Just a tip if you want high textures lower your resolution
dang wish i was old enough to do that cool!!!!
I wouldn't have thought the overhead was that simple...
wow you are brilliant! what an awesome flightdeck on a budget!
BRAVO......Well done .....proud of you......
Absolutly Amazing. Thanks for sharing a cost effective way to sim
the homade overhed panel ar very nice ! easy bud a nice ideea
Thanks! Check out my flight videos in this cockpit!
awsome video first video I see well homemade congrat and interesting on how you came up with the idea of creating the whole thing. Congrat .
Very impressive... I could of never done that if I tried!
Way cool. Great vid, very well thought out and assembled. Great cockpit too; congrats :)

Welldone n looking forward to seeing you a real pilot soon.👍
Thanks a ton, been flying the 737 for 4 years now!
I really liked this video. Great work.
Dammit boy, this is a heck of a set up.
How does this online community works? Are there ranks?
your Throttle Quantum does better move on second draw? Pretty good your right arm too high, try test throttle move on second that draw? if feel comfortable your right arm.
This is what I was looking for !!!
Awesome!
That's incredible! Good video and really helpful!
Great setup man... Hats off to you!
You are awesome, GREAT work!
That was amazing. Very nice setup.
I will make this cockpit exactly, thanks for the dimensions!!!
you are very good.. thanks to u i learned many things. good job.
Thanks for this video, you teach me much in this 15 min 👍
Thank you so much for watching!
BRAVO! EXCELLENT VIDEO! NICE WORK! YOU'RE BRILLIANT! :D
