Hello Jason, I want to express my appreciation for sharing this incredible build with us. I'm also very interested in building a Cessna 172 with a G1000 cockpit and recently purchased the Simionic Switch and ignition key. However, I've been having trouble finding information or instructions on how to connect and operate the ignition key. Do you have any advice or tips on how to go about this, or can you point me in the right direction to find the necessary information? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.🤗
HI mate and thanks for tuning in. I have hooked my Simionic ignition to a Leo Bodnar board (I used BUO836X). Each of the wires connects to a corresponding input on the board. Page 3 of the Simionic manual for the ignition switch shows which wires are to go where. For example map pin 1 - gnd to a gnd input on your bodnar board (or you could try arduino but would need to have connectors). Hope this helps somewhat......
@@CessSim Oh great, all clear, understood. I was just wondering if it would be possible because Li from Simionic once mentioned in an introduction video that the switch plays a role in communication with the ignition key. I already have the ELEGOO Mega-R3 and will try to use the ignition key with it. Thanks!
Thanks Simon. I have recently purchased a fairly high end machine (i9 10900k / 32GB DDR4 / nvme OS. Having said that I am only using a 3060ti at present as monitors are running 1080p which generally gives me around 30 fps which is fine for flight sims. Will look to upgrade the GPU when the RTX 4000 gets released late next year.
Thanks for the enquiry. The bezel manual has a cutout diagram in it for the dimensions needed (pg10) and the units themselves are not much bigger given the mounting points on the four corners. Link attached if this helps......simionic.net/SHB1000M_Manual.pdf
Hi mate and thanks for the sub. I am using the Simionic G1000 App which is available. They talk to the sim via wifi using a bridge connection software which is also available (you get the bridge software from Simionic website).
Hi and thanks for tuning in. Are you referring to the iPad mini on the yoke itself? If so, I use this with a few different apps including (Navigraph for charts, Windy for METAR conditions, Vatscope for Vatsim interface, and TH-cam Studio for streaming). If you mean the main panel in front of the pilot, that is the PFD for the G1000......
@@EsportloverYt thanks. As highlighted above the iPad mini is used for various apps (navigraph for charts, Windy for METAR, Vatscope for Vatsim, and TH-cam Studio for streaming). Hope this helps you.
Hi Tom. Thanks for tuning in. The TV's are 3 x 55" Samsung (1080P setting on all 3). They are all connected to the 3090Ti graphics card via the display port connections (I use HDMI to display port cables for each). The operator station uses the HDMI port on the graphics card. No additional software other than XPlane......hope this helps
@@Bush_Fam The side TV's use a free standing TV stand. The front screen rests on the frame itself and is supported vertically by bracing. back onto the frame itself
Do yourself a giant favor and look into brunner yokes. They're force feedback yokes. A little pricy, but 100% worth it when you take flight simming seriously. Which you obviously do :D
Thanks mate. Actually I am OK with the current yoke. It actually isn't Saitek as has been completely stripped to just yoke handle. Behind panel I have mechanically linked them which works well and adds to my immersion. Custom designed linkages and Potentiometers running pitch and roll hooked up to Leo bodnar board. No doubt proper purchased yokes are better but I always wanted to have a mechanically linked system from the outset. Thanks for watching is appreciated.
@@CessSim I got a Brunner yoke and I have to say that the experience and immersion were taken to the next level. It is also possible to link a second Brunner yoke but it comes at a high price.
It's looking great! I love your auxiliary view panel with the pause, I'll have to make one like it. Thanks for the Shoutout 😁
No problems Captain. You deserve many accolades with all of the good work you have given for the community....
@@CessSim very true
Hi Jason, excellent video as usual. Very informative. 👍
Thanks Dylan. Appreciate the feedback

Hello there, this is an amazing channel. How can anyone reach out to you incase of specific dimensions
I have a recent stream series if you want to check that out. Plus can reach me via email on the About tab on my channel....
Its very detailed ,you did so much work .. do you have a powerful system to run all of the monitors and everything

what is the dimension of the simionic monitorscut on your panel ?

Just subscribed to your channel. What is the app u run on iPad and how do u sync the two iPads to the active game?

@@CessSim I went to the website. It has G1000Bridge, and SimConnect Runtime library. Do I need both?
@@simpitacademy only if the bridge shows an error......Remember to use the right bridge for the right sim (there is one for FS2020 and one for XP)
on yoke captain side you installed a lcd panel what is purpose of that and which software you use for sim on that.

What size tvs and brand do you have.

@@CessSim how about the mounts that are holding them.
