- A lot has changed and been updated since my last flight simulation cockpit overview. In this video, I’ll go through all the recent upgrades and some of the mistakes I’ve made along the way. As well as some tips for building your own at the end of the video.
If you have any questions about my DCS or Microsoft Flight Simulator setup, leave it in the comments section. Also, if you have any recommendations for upgrades or are looking at it think this is just wrong. Call me out! I’m all ears and I love learning and improving.

I'm probably feeling the most jealousy I ever could feel.
Don’t be. ! He doesn’t even fly in VR !
@@calinutza33VR is nothing compared to this setup
@@IlTjaylI 😂 You mean to say this set up is nothing compared with VR , right. ? Have you ever flown in VR. ? Once you will do it , you will never return back to any 2 D screens. ! 🤫😉😘
Just buy a plane! 😂
@calinutza33 I may have ruined my friends life - he's been playing on Xbox, and I invited him to have a go in my VR setup. It ended in tears, as he took the headset off and said "I can't go home now, this has ruined what I've got..."
People who say "buy a plane instead" don't realise how expensive is to purchase and use a GA plane. What he spent to have this is nowhere near what you need for an airplane.
Awesome setup, I save the video for reference for my rig.
Lol. 100%. Some people do it just to get a reaction, others are just clueless as to how much these things actually coast.
Plus if you crash it's only your ego that suffers, not your life.
you can never get too carried away with your passion and hobby. keep doing what you love.
We’re on the same page!
I think you can get carried away, but this guy has not. Getting carried away looks like spending every cent, and leaving out the people they care about, just to do said hobby.
This is absolutely insane! I love it. I like how those boards helped define the space even more.
Thanks. Yea the boards really made quite a big difference
0:07 LOL same here, everytime she goes "why do you need another accessory for your pc or another surfboard?" I go "why do you need another pair of shoes?... exactly!" 🤣🤣🤣
Best response EVER
My man! I just found you and this is GLORIOUS! If I were on a passenger airliner and the pilot keeled over, I would want you at the controls, and I'd be not at all nervous about it. Fantastic channel. I subscribed immediately. All good wishes.
Me at the controls wouldn’t be pretty. Lol. Thanks for the compliment though.
I'd be a little less nervous if this guy with his home made sim was at the controls. Check out this build. th-cam.com/video/A3KqvwXT4A4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8jSanwYWN_fYSBqh
Too far? Not nearly far enough. MOARRR! GIVE US MOOOOAR
This is downright incredible. Well done!
Lol. It's coming ha ha
Very clean setup! Super! Good recommendations about HDMI cables as well as USB! I was there, and YES! It's a pain!
I love that I can connect MFS to my Vr headset. You lose the tactile feel of the controls but gain so much.
For me I loose too much in VR. The depth perception is amazing but I’d need something with great pass through and super light to wear.
finally, a just worked simulator which don't break life time savings. Thank you sir!
I have been flying a while in DCS world and this taught me a lot thanks for posting. I have a buttkicker and the jet seat hooked up together - I think I like the jets seat better but the buttkicker gets the job done as well. Both compliment each other.
Do you get any discomfort with the jet seat?
Landing the plane in that storm looked so bloody amazing.
Totally addictive
I've been using the Thrustmaster TPR pedals for a few weeks now. They are worth every penny.
A common thread here. Thanks for your thoughts.
That’s a pretty sweet set up! 4-5 external speakers for full surround sound would be epic. You’ve given me some good ideas for my rig as well.
Now that’s an idea with the surround sound.
Bro, why dont u go outside and fly a real plane at that point tf?
indeed, the Logitech speakers are a fraud. They actually have only one working driver each, the other one is a dummy.
@@ayowhat6139 it’s a bit expensive and I actually love the tech side of flight sim.
@@ayowhat6139 Yeah, everyone has a spare $700,000 for a real plane, tf?
Une passion ça n’a pas de prix
Ton environnement est génial ❤
Nice rig! I, too, have the Brunner yoke and would not fly without it. Best ever flight sim yoke. I also have the Brunner Peddles and strongly recommend them for your rig. There’s nothing like feeling the wheels of your plane on take offs and landings. Ground handling is second to none.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I have the Thrustmeter TPR pedals, and if they're within your budget, wouldn't recommend anything else! The pivot point is at the _top,_ so they more closely mimic the operation of most real-world aircraft, and they just plain feel better than the sliding pedals or pantograph style pedals. Beyond that, the spring tension is easily adjustable as is the brake pedal angle. There's also a mod available which adds hydraulic damping if you're so inclined. The downside? 1) Obviously the price. 2) I use the TPR on a carpeted floor and found that they slide around all over the place. I _totally_ solved it though by attaching a couple of carpet spikes to the bottom of the mounting plate and now they don't slide _anywhere!_ If you want to move or reposition them, you _literally_ have to pick them up and then put them back down in the new location! 3) If you have a nice hardwood floor, you're on your own I guess... 🙂
Thanks for taking the time with your insight on the TPR’s. Greatly appreciated.
I’m with you on the upcoming Beyond ATC, looks like it will revolutionize the sim. Can’t wait!
Love your setup. I went the VR direction, but I definitely see the advantages of a triple screen.
Great setup. Also kind of interesting how the HOTAS part of it is the weakest link: the Warthog joystick base is by now highly surpassed by so many alternatives, it really is kind of in the same league as your rudder pedals by this point. Those are the weak links. But if you really like the feel of the Warthog grip in your hands, just plonk it onto a Virpil base, or VKB with an adapter, or RealSim if you want to specialise it for DCS.
I don’t think it’s in the same league as the rudder pedals as they are very entry level but yea there are now some very good options out there.
I fully agree to this. Honestly, I think the Warthog is a disappoint. Only the metal grip makes it okay. It is so clunky and inaccurate in my opinion. I would also recommend the VKB base. Virpil probably as well, but no personal opinion. On such a great set, I'd almost say you deserve a better stick solution.
And here I am, stoked I just upgraded my Logitech X56 to a VKB setup... this is a whole different level... thanks for the details!!!
Nice did you get the stecs?
This setup is a straight BEAST!! You've definitely gained a new sub!!
thanks mate. I have an update video coming this week I reckon you'll love
Looking forward to it bro, KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT!! @@g-locmedia
MFG Rudder pedals!!!. wholeheartedly recommend them. the adjustability, the quality and ruggedness are of the best on the market.
Have you tried the hydraulic add on?
@@g-locmediaI have the Crosswind, absolutely love these pedals, and added the optional damper. Beautifully fitted into the design and works very well to improve the feel to be more realistic against cammed springs alone, and very tunable for feel. Definitely worth the small added expense and well made. Also just swapped in the new optional "combat" pedals from the big stock ones (Messerschmidt?) and find them better for me. Love MFG products, also have his extension tube for the Warthog joystick for longer throw, more precision and reduced effort. Even got Milan's little dust cover for the stick pivot point, clever idea. Crosswind gets hearty recommendations from me, FWIW.
@@RJ-kr4bs will definitely check these out. Thanks again for the recommendation.
@@g-locmedia They are great! Definitely worth the money and a huge upgrade from the Logitech Saitek Pro pedals I had before. The added damper is great too.
Just bought a pair of MFG Cross winds with the optional damper - as a real life private pilot, it’s the closest feeling I’ve had to using real pedals. This is especially true when flying as the force to move the pedals require quite a bit of force to get the full range - but will smoothly return to center instead of snapping back to center like other spring peddles which causes instability with fine rudder inputs. The silky movements are second to none and you won’t find a better set of pedals at its price point.
Looks epic! You could mount some air tubes with twist nozzles above for room cooling. Maybe add a call button light for beverage service on those 4+ hour flights! I use the VKB T-Rudder MKIV pedals and love them. All steel construction so they're super robust and don't slide around. They're the best piece of hardware in my rig. Half the price of the TPR pedals, only downside is you can't do toe braking.
thanks for the recommendation.
I love the call button idea. Wife might not agree though.
I'm jealous man! This is absolutely celestial.
Thanks mate. It’s a long term project and a passion. Glad you got some value from the video.
Jeez man, I love your setup! I would pay to watch you use it in person!
Thanks. My mrs would not agree! Lol.
I have a similar(Flight Stand Pro) setup but found that That the NLR seat is so uncomfortable so I ditched it. Also I highly recommend the Rudoo pedals from VF as the best out there. I have also use Black curtains around and above my sim which really pull you in without seeing walls and such.
Your the first person to mention the virtual fly pedals. I’ve used their yoke before and it’s superb.
I was also skeptical too! I tried them and never looked back I came from Crosswinds which is good but these are in a different class. I think it is the cost that scares everyone away.
At this point, just buy a plane.
A bit too costly for me. Maybe one day
The entire idea behind high fidelity flight sims like dcs is that you can actually do combat scenarios
Right!????
You have no idea how much a plane costs, let alone maintaining one, don't you?
😂
Fan...tastic! I use VR with MSFS, but this, this takes the cake by far.
The future fighter pilots set up.
I recently picked up the Brunner FFB pedals and they are absolutely insane. Highly reccommend if theyre within budget! Also - have you thought about upgrading to a full motion rig?
Motion is a bit out or reach for me at the moment but maybe one day.
I recommend the TPR pedals. I’ve seen quite a few TH-camrs change from the crosswinds which is why I went for them in the end. Expensive for what they actually do but I decided to just get them instead of regretting a cheaper option. They were in a sale for something like £375, from scan I think.
Yea they are expensive but your not the first to recommend them. They seem to be the go-to.
I use the TPR as well and it's the best set I've ever owned. For me it was well worth the price.
I am considering a diy dampener mod at the moment. Just need to source and/or make my own parts.
I have to agree, I've been really happy with my TPRs. Not cheap, but good.
@@doifeelluckyHi, I just finished adding a damper to mine, the parts can be found on amazon and at a good hardware store.
Love my TPR but it’s the only one I have had😁
Very cool. I went with VR instead, but wish I had the room and money to do both.
You are living the dream my friend.
Awesome setup! For the rudder pedals, the only and BEST option is the Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder. It's robust and precise, all metal made and it even has the pressure adjust. Consider it, and you will not regred.
Yea, that's one that gets mentioned quite a lot. They look pretty high quality
im using my g29 racing wheel as rudder pedals and they work!!!!@@g-locmedia
@@g-locmedia I have the thrustmaster pendular ruder pedals and they are of good quality and work well. But they have the same issue as every other set of rudder pedals I have used which is that they just don't represent what a real plane is like. For the exact same price I have found that the redbird flight pedals are actually a lot better. Better build quality and they are designed for FAA certified simulators. And they are the exact same price.
Now if you want to go more for the budget set. By far the best bang for your buck is the vkb rudder pedals. They do not have toe breaks, but to be honest I didn't really miss them that much. I did think it would be an issue, but it wasn't as big as I would have throught. Though that being said, I would consider that to be the budget option for those looking for a good set. The logitec and the cheaper thrustmaster pedals are just not good at all. Especially when considering the price of the VKB. But obviously the redbird pedals and the brunner are the 2 kings when it comes to the best of the best.
Nice work! Go for the TPR pedals, you won't regret it. Keep the TM handle and upgrade the base into Virpils WarBRD-D. Best of the both worlds.
Thanks for the recommendation. Someone else recommended the TPR’s too.
Yes...TPR pedals is recommended. 👍
Got ‘em , love ‘em! Haven’t installed damper mod yet.
I agree. I've had a set since they came out and they haven't skipped a beat. The pendular motion is also as close to the real thing that you will experience.
Really nice setup. I am in the process of setting ours up now. I hope it will all work together as well as yours does both in function and form. It is amazing to me how much actual space something like you have requires. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome. It's a never-ending project really. I have mine in a 4x3m room and it's pretty tight.
Bro I feel you …. I too have setup but not as majestic as yours… this is like a dream for me
Thanks. It's like a never ending money pit of happiness.
For rudder pedals you could upgrade to the MFG crosswinds. Very good pedals for only $300
From what everyone has said either these of the TM pedals are looking like the ones.
yeah the 600 dollar full metal TM pedals are the way to go!@@g-locmedia
@@g-locmedia The MFG pedals have a damper add-on. I am super pleased with mine. Quality and Affordable. Great design.
Id recommend the VIRPIL ACE INTERCEPTOR petals X-wind landings are a dream and they work with GA and DCS perfectly. The distance between the patals makes it way way easyer to keep those small turns coordinated.
Had quite a few recommendation on those. Thanks for the recommendation
JHEEZE mate that is such a bonkers set up lmao. Wicked video!
That’s mate
I had dreams of turning our spare room into my man-cave, gaming suite. The wife decided it will be the babies room. 😢 I now have steering wheel and kit can't use, was so close to getting the flight kit. Keep doing your thing brother, love your set-up and living the dream.
Thanks mate. It's definitely an addiction
How you make this video without mentioning cost and setup time is beyond me
That's a fair point. Next time I'll include some pricing info
if bro can afford this setup, he should just get a pilots license
Would love to my PPL’s and planning on it. The sim should help for a bit of training.
Well so far I have only seen one video just a couple days ago that tops your Flight SIM Rig and hardware. The guy has a home Rig that simulates a Boeing 737 airliner. At first I thought it was a real cockpit or something that Boeing would have to train their pilots, had numerous switches above him, and all over - it looked like an Airliner.
Your flight SIM Rig is also awesome what you have put into the hardware and actual layout of what a cockpit should look like. It is amazing how far you guys can go to make a 50 dollar Flight SIM game and turn it into a living, breathing, flight experience.
Again, great job with your flight SIM Rig and enjoy many hours flying. You guys make my simple Thrustmaster flight controls hardware and one display look too unrealistic. LOL!!!!!
Thanks for the video and take care.
Thanks for such kind comments mate. Really appreciated 👍
Amazing. Vr and motion rig is the way to go for me, but I can see the allure of having everything tangible within arms reach
I’d love to get in to motion but it still feels a bit out of reach for me at the moment price wise.
@@g-locmedia great setup in the meantime!
Not too far, it’s simply amazing!
Also I can highly recommend a subwoofer. I have one (for other reasons), and the immersion when taking off and feeling all that rumble makes it insanely nice. Even on a single 27" screen.
I actually use a buttkicker for this but guess they do similar things
Wow,....just wow!
That's what I dreamed of!
Dude. That’s so cool and now that how I need I set up.
Thanks mate
the buttkicker is awesome I have one on my home cinema setup and it really does pull you into the movie.
great setup buddy you must get lost in there for hours..
Never thought that about setting one up with a movie. That sounds cool
@@g-locmedia lol it is especially when you have a big sub that rumbles at the same time as your seat. 🤣🤣🤣
OMG. Looks soo cool. Wish I could afford a setup like this. I can strongly recommend the Turtle Beach Rudder pedals if you're looking for an upgrade. They have so much adjustability. Adjustable tension and width as well as interchangeable pedal styles (GA/Commercial)
Thanks for the recommendation. Another popular one with the folks around here.
I've seen some setups and this is definitely among my top 5.
Thanks mate. It’s a never ending project. One I think it’s where I want it I’m upgrading with something new.
Nothing beats VR experience.
I just can't get in to VR yet. Too much discomfort for long sessions and a bit clunky trying to feel around for all my external controls. When we get really good pass through though im sure I'll be a convert.
I completely agree. It was the first time I felt like I was really in the cockpit. For me multi monitor does not even come close
no outro, i love it and wish more channels would do that lol
I've got a number of the same items you do including chair and quadrant but my setup is vastly inferior to yours. Very nicely done. And great idea with those pin boards for a cheap but immersive way of covering all the cables.
Thanks so much. You have the flight Seat Pro?
@@g-locmedia yeah, it's a pretty good chair. Suffers from a bit of cushion compaction but otherwise a great seat overall.
Another great vid, thanks. Could you also do a vid on how you use the Virgil control panel in MSFS and DCS? I like the look of this but I’m not really sure how it will map to in game functions.
Mostly momentary switches in both DCS and MSFS. The dials come in handy too. Everything works in both Sims. If its a shortcut in the sim you can map it to the button box.
Yeah, my wife really doesn't come to my cockpit room either. 😆 Really nice setup!
Lol. Thanks mate
Nice setup 👍I don't see the "too far" part though (and I'm not even waving from below - yet). I mean most of the hardware is pretty standard, just the nice box with the huge displays sets it apart. The rabbit hole of simulated cockpits goes waaaaay deeper though. Anyway, lots of fun in your pit, have a good one 🛫
My partner would disagree but yea I have seen some crazy commercial and military setups that dwarf this.
@@g-locmedia doesn't even have to be commercial or military. Quite some hobby enthusiasts out there especially in DIY 🤓
Also Kudos for running a website with transcripts in 2023 👍
Nice Build :) for the Pedals, i have the MFG Crosswind, and would chose them every time again. good and sturdy quality. very precise and you can mount a damper :)
Thanks for the recommendation
Stream decks also work great for DCS. I've got the XL and with that you can fit the whole f-16 UFC and DED panels on it. Makes adding steerpoints and programming GPS weapons a breeze without having to click all the buttons.
Yea stream decks are a flight summer best friend. Have you tried the plus?
@@g-locmedia No I haven't. I've got the big XL one and the smaller regular one. The plus looks very enticing. You can always use more rotary knobs! I want to pick up the virpil button box panel to go with my Mongoose cm3, it's a bit pricey but I love the look and aesthetic of it along with it's metal construction.
@@AdamD19D the virpil button boxes are stunning. Great build quality too.
After going VR there's just no way I could switch to flat screens even in a setup like this! The depth perception is just such a big of a deal for me. I'd need collimated displays to give up VR!
Depth perception is mind-blowing in VR. I can’t argue with, as soon as someone creates a mixed reality with good pass through I’ll be on board.
@@g-locmediaCheck out the Somnium VR1 if you haven't heard of it. That's basically what they're going for.
Just wait for holography. By the time technology is revealed to the public, it is already 50 years old.@@g-locmedia
Hey m8 as for sticks all you need is the VPforce RHINO (a 9Nm force feed back base that can use basically any grip with adapters for Winwing & VKB) for centre mount & the Winwing MFSSB for side stick, these two plus the appropriate grips will have you covered for basically every aircraft out there!
do you have a link to that. I can't seem to find it online
Incredible setup! Thanks for sharing this. Suggest Ruddo pedals. Very realistic feel but not cheap.
I've heard the Ruddos are great with the load cell brakes.
Awesome setup! I've started saving up to clone your setup ;-) Wondering if you could tell us, or do a video and show us how the screens are mounted?
Yea I plan to do that as I’ve had quite a few people ask. Basically both side TVs are on floor stands and the centre tv is on a wall bracket.
very nice
miicrosoft fs 2000 pro on windows 96 was the last sim i used.
current approach plates, vectors, atf channels all worked.
could fly gps, vector in greater LA, and catch the ils and land in LA from nm...all in auto pilot
wow. It's been a long time?
You're right about keeping cables short and uncoiled! When you coil a wire it changes the impedance (or resistance) of the wire and degrades it's performance.
Every day is a school day. Thanks for the insight. Love it!
Great video my friend.. Thanks for posting it.. I have a couple motion simulators that I run in VR but THIS YEAR I really want to build a flight sim. I bookmarked your channel so I can take time ordering the parts I might need to get off the ground.. Subbed and going to look through your pages.. Thanks again..! DMAX
No worries. What Motion sims do you have?
TPR's are the only way to go, I 1000% recommend them.
Thanks for the recommendation
Honestly, the only thing that looks "crazy" at first glance are those 3x55" screens. And 3 of them are in the ball park of a slightly expensive VR headset. 80% of pilots in my virtual wing run much more expensive setups - imagine all-Virpil cockpits, Touch screens for interaction with the sim, F14 RIO cockpits fully laid out in self-built button boxes...
The Brunner Yoke, that's something special that you don't see every day!
My recommendation would be a Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder. They're on the expensive side, but sturdy and pendular instead of sliding unlike most other rudders. Gives a special more realistic feel, and their exceptional with helos. I run them with no springs at all for that, some ppl add oil dampeners for an even better feel.
That’s a common thread here with the TM rudder pedals. Everyone seems to love them.
Mate what a super set up, im soooo jealous lol...for years i wanted to play flight simulator but as a playstation player that wasn't possible, but my wife just bought me the new xbox series s edition with msfs, ive been playing it for a week now and its absolutely brilliant, my rig is couch controller and 55inch Lg 4k tv...😂 but im over the moon, fantastic video pal, you've really made your flying very special 👍
It can be really addictive. The thing I like about it most is what you can learn. Even on a controller you can still do a lot. Make sure you check out flow pro. Works on Xbox too.
@@g-locmedia brilliant I'll check that out matey 👍 🌝
Amazing rig! Thanks for sharing :)
Im redesigning mine to fit with the DOF Reality H3 Motion platform these days. I may borrow some inspiration from your build - it looked really good!
Thank a so much. Good luck with the motion build. Should add an insane amount of immersion.
im actually surprised you don't use a dof reality. any reason you're not?@@g-locmedia
Awesome set up…subscribed cause I’m impressed 🤩. I had a question for you, how did you mount tabletop to your setup where your yolk and other things are now mounted? I have a NLR f-gt chair and trying to modify to get more space for things on it. Thanks 🙏
I have a 25mm MDF board that's been painted bolted to the top. You could do that with you F-GT
Insane setup! Would be even next level if you used the big screen vr (super lightweight OLED vr) and a motion rig! Although you can't see your hands touching the real controls haha
I’ve heard good things about big screen VR.
I'm drooling like an idiot over this rig. Absolutely sensational.
Thanks mate
Love it! Although with the amount of equipment here I would have no time to play from working to pay for everything and the electric bill lol. By the way definitely check out IL2: Sturmovik if you have only played DCS. It has insane damage modeling, for instance I have had pieces of enemy control surfaces come back and damage my propeller lol
I've been getting in to IL2. Its pretty addictive
That looks fantastic, please send a list of all the equipment I need to replicate it !!!
Thanks. It’s at the bottom in f the description. Check it out.
Looks great save for the border of the monitors.
When they make a huge OLED flexible screen and the software in sim to show side views without any stretching etc that would be awesome.
👍👍
OLED screen really are next level but super expensive for now. MSFS have actually fixes the stretched screen issue a while back. At the moment im looking for options to cover up the bezels on the TV's.
Subscribed and Liked, you have a natural ability to kick back and speak. Glad I found your channel and nice rig. I just built a new system after 5 years and went with the 7800X3D (OC to 5.0 GHz ;-) ) and 4080 but when I run triples and MSFS's experimental triple screen (to get out of the fisheye effect Nvidia surround has) I get terrible performance. Your system is running smooth as glass on 3x 4K screens and I can't get my 3x 1080P 165Hz panels even close.
Thanks for your kind comments. Some people don’t understand my accent but I give it my best shot.Are you using frame generation and DLSS?
@@g-locmedia No, I'm using TAA with a Mix of ULTRA (mostly) and HIGH (shadows and water). No Motion Blur, Bloom, DOF or Lens Flare. I haven't looked at all of your library, if you don't have a video covering your settings there may be a number of interested people who would enjoy a video on your current settings.
Great rig, so so cool. You have the ultimate flight sim Gir home . Never know , you might just sell kits for your viewers lol. I'm sure you will get a few nights lol
Lol. I can only imagine
Nice setup!! I adore my Virpil Rudder pedals which has very nice toe brakes (I use interceptor pedals)
Yea the toe brakes are quite nice. Nice weight to them.
nice setup mate . approaching a bit low you can always use ils even on vfr to just monitor that descent angle
Thanks for the advice. Always looking to get a little better. Something I love about flight sim is I’m always learning.
First, your rig looks amazing, I’m strictly DCS for now but thinking about adding MSFS 2024 when it releases. We both have those thrustmaster pedals 😂I am leaning towards the thrustmaster TRP Pendular if you want the best. Questions: what monitor stands? How is that keyboard mounted next to the winwing throttle?
I’ve heard from a few people the TPRs are good. Two side tvs are on TV floor stands. Centre tv is mounted with a wall bracket. The keyboard is sitting on a tablet mount from Amazon.
For HDMI 2.1 cable, try the Active Fiber Optic ones, they're not cheap but they are amazing
Great idea. I’ll have a look at them. Can you recommend a brand?
That is bloody amazing
Thanks mate. It’s taken quite a while to get all the prices together but it always feels unfinished. More to come in 2024 I hope.
Awesome rig, I use MFG Crosswind pedals with the damper mod fitted they are awesome.
Would you reckoned the damper mod. Does it make a big difference?
@@g-locmedia The damper mod makes the pedals feel hydraulic rather than spring and pulley so more like real life.
Virpil rudder pedals. I can tune those where they feel like the planes i fly irl.
Awesome setup brother!
Thanks mate. What kind of planes do you fly?
@@g-locmedia da-42 and Cessna. Have some experience on the 737 but back in 09 there was no work.
Love the set up!
Thanks mate
great setup mate and we have similar tastes ! I recommend the Turtle Beach Velocity One pedals. I upgraded recently from the Logitech Pro Flight pedals and chalk and cheese......great video.
Really. I was wondering about those. So you rate them?
for me in my GA rig (C172 G1000) I love them. Will be getting another set for the copilot side...
@@CessSim interesting. Thanks for the recommendation on the Turtle Beach. I’ll see if I can my hands on some to test out.
Such an amazing Setup.
As you know probably already, the Milan Flight Gear Paddels are on top. MFG Crosswinds V3
Highly erconomic adjustable, very Accurat with High resolution HAL Sensors, made by a Simflighter who runs a Furniture company, and who wanted to build some better Quality Paddels then are out there for himself at the beginning.
Made out of composit Material and aluminium, with 17 Barrel Rings.
I can recommend those a lot.
They are even better then the TM Pentalons or Virpils, also they are fair priced.
Thank you for showing us your amazing Rig
Kudos and Abo
No worries and thanks for the recommendation. I’ve heard a few people mention the crosswinds.
@@g-locmedia i like them a lot. used Pentalons before, but MFG are much more adjustable and fits my setup better. the Foodrest adujstability is great.
Have a very nice Day o7
@g-locmedia Looks amazing. Why did you not go down the VR headset route?
Comfort and resolution really.
very nice, I've always had one 55" curved screen monitor, two more for the side views would be nice
Makes a massive difference
Love the rig! When you are flying GA, how are you manipulating the individual panel controls, such as the G1000 functions?
I will have to mainly use the mouse. I’d love one of those G1000 units so I could have proper control but they are a bit out of my reach at the moment.
I can't wait for Beyond ATC!
Me too. It will be a game changer for most.
Thank you for this nice sharing 🙏
no worries
Great stuff thank you for the info
Glad it was helpful!
Handy tips at the end, thanks
Thanks mate
VKB rudder pedals are incredible, no toe brake is the only let down on them but the build quality is fantastic.
What's the downside with the toe brakes?
They have none :)
@@RANDYLIZARD ahhh. I didn’t realise that
Nice setup, i was considering triple screens but went down the VR root and even with my 3080 havent looked back, granted getting MSFS to look as good in VR isn't possible but still takes my breath away. I then started upgrading my kit to WarBRD-D with HC yoke and TPR rudders and a bespoke collective so can now fly helis, jets and GA and superbhappy with the joke/stick and rudders. To top it off I mounted everything to a Dof H3 motion rig with an HF8 haptic pad and thought that was aviation heaven, till i seen your brunner yoke, maybe one next year😂
P.s. the TPRs are great but heavy and expensive, I went with them as they have toe brakes as I fly a range of airframes
How’s the Dof?
Definatley adds a major level of immersion and along with a haptic pad, makes the airframe feel alive. All thats missing is the controller feedback, but not sure the DoF rigs would take a FFB yoke/stick and rudders as they need to be well balanced to get full motion\feedback, but aside from that for the price of a mid range PC Id say worth it@@g-locmedia
A big blast ! Besides the fortune of such homesim, I wonder how many watts you are burning out ?
Cheers
Lol. Would be a fair few lol.
For the rudder: MFG Crosswind is great 👍🏻
