I was expecting the whole inside to be covered with screens, that would've been awesome
They could have atleast used a vr it would be cheaper and possibly better depending on what screens
Projector would be cool like an imax theater
@@harrymeanwell1462 yeh
Yeah the interior is disappointing 🤣😆LOL all that for 3 24" screens, total fail.
@@josh_taylor1034 VR is a bad idea because you want those buttons and levers to be physical. And you need naked eyes to see them.
Looks nice, only a little cheap on the screens..
Yeah.
Also they could use X-Plane instead of P3D and make it look graphically better, or at least download some graphics addon for P3D
Sasino _ yeah
Yeah. I'd have 360 degrees of monitors for a better feeling. Or just integrate VR headsets and then it doesn't matter on the interior.
yeah, that really kills it for me. should be a large non-bezzle setup
I was thinking the same thing, spend all that time and money building that simulator and then you are going to cheap out on the screens? Makes no sense.
Why, oh why would you go to all that expense and kit it our with what looks like three 24" monitors? (Shakes head)
I have this little dream of arcade halls being revived, but with VR and frameworks like this for the games.
I would support that Dream.
Captain Failure I too share a similar dream.
in Amsterdam a few have opened over the past few years. They are having some good business right now.
Orlando, LA, Myrtle Beach...this would DEFINITELY work
That would be great. Also, dope pfp
There are the runway coord's for MFS2020: 44°40'25.7"S 167°55'29.2"E
True Immersion For A Fraction Of The Cost : DCS and a decent set of VR gear.
These personal pod simulators have been around for decades. Literally , In the 90's in NY i use to attend the annual Tech convention at the Javits center. It was the East coast equivalent to NAB. Showcasing everything in tech computers animation software and hardware. And of course things fringe tech. So every year came such simulators from Japan and South Korea. And several of the designs remained true since, including this one. The immersion is indeed impressive. Far better than any moving chair. only problem most would take up the fullness of ones garage. or at least a room in ones house. still. its great to see some of those companies still at it.
It looks AMAZING but it makes you feel the rumble of the engines and all the good stuff.
I used a motion sim once in a GA airport and it is just amazing. It's a weird experience I will say, because you feel like you are in a plane and you are flying.
The one is used was similar to the mono+duo but was made by a different company.
if your wondering - The OVO-04 is listed for pre-order in the UK at Firebox for £35,995
i'll have 2
Truly amazing that FS2020 almost gives you this without a motion base.
Thanks for the ride along! I agree, even though this sim lacks the two side screens, it's plus would have to be the immersion aspect. Loved the video, as always. Keep up the great works! :)
The one I’ve been waiting for YAY
(And you did it in New Zealand where I live)
I wish he could show us more of flying (he doesn’t have even need to be talking when he does it)
This is simply an amazing concept. Beautiful , compact, superbly designed,. Lots and lots of brain behind such an innovating concept.
Not sure about the price but certainly not cheap. I think that the immersion must be absolute. Wish you plenty of success. Truly wonderful.
This seems to be very expensive to have private, but then you would need to worry about the cost of powering it.
Nice as always, thanks Squirrel for taking your time for recording this.
14:11 i'm thinking 3 curved ultrawide (LG 38" Ultrawide - 38UC99-W) monitors would do the trick better than 5x 16:9 because of bezels
personally I like my setup of 1x 38" ultra-wide and 2x 27" 16:9. They all have the same vertical height but doesn't feel super overwhelming (I have tried 3x ultra-wide, it felt a bit claustrophobic). But the amount of screen real estate is just so much xD (And I havent mentioned my 18" old school square dell monitor that I have on top that has diagnostics constantly running)
Can I come over to your house?
VR gear
OMG SQUIRREL your flying in my home country, such amazing flying in real life. Nz has amazing scenery
The mystery of the tic tac UFO has been SOLVED! 🛸
A full motion egg!
more people need to see and like this comment it made my day
Just a curiosity, ovo means egg in portuguese, so that was the first thing I thought
ovo means egg on some places, so...
@@franciscoioimperadordaaust824 In Italian it's almost the same, in fact I thought of an egg too when I saw the design and read the name
I've tried one of them, for a Squirrel helicopter (no jokes on the name) which is in the RAF base near me as its the earliest training that all RAF helicopter pilots do and it was massive.
keep up the great work paul as always
I had an idea to float the sim on water, such as child's paddling pool. Would make it easier to move and give a more floating sensation.
My sim at work had originally a x/y axis motion driven by linear hospital bed motors, Arduino from FSX.
Once i fitted front and side screen and block out external ques, i found i didn't need the motion.
In real aircraft, balanced flight there's very little movement unless extreme manoeuvres are done.
In fact just moving the seat on springs would be more realistic.
And of course can't replicate G.
So far I've seen Jeff favignano fly in it. Airforce proud 95. And now squirrel
Just seen your picture on ETS 2 Squirrel, Had to use it keep up the great work 👍
The grafic quality of the sim itself does not justifie the investment.
Def agree.
You could buy a small plane for the same money. And even save a couple thousand for lessons.
BUT it's really cool, and I'm jealous.
Mike I have epilepsy and wouldn’t be able to ever fly, this would be amazing if I could ever afford it
Much harder to die, though LOL.
Stay blessed
Its affordable when you think about it. 57-60k and you got yourself a man toy for life. Im really considering one.
The next time you do this crash the plane and see what it feels like
that would kill him dude
I will try it if I have one🤣😂😂
Whole thing explodes
Right into a building.....
Niko Davis probably he'll come out flying of the egg simulator.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020: Hold my beer!
Was literally about to comment about how with better screens and the new Flight sim 2020 it would basically flying a real plane
Mesmerizing, need a few for the home boys. XD
Love your vids paul you're amazing 😉
This is nice but in it's infancy. C'mon guys, we need a single wrap around screen! I know it is hard to create, but we will have it in 10 years, why not be the first? Well done!
I wonder if Jeff knew you were filming him lol. Super cool simulator. Id love to take a spin in that thing.
bet that thing cost more than my damn house
ng jason probably
quick search says $57,500 (50k euro)
ng jason Cuz you live in a box
ng jason I
ng jason it cannot be more expensive than a Cessna 172, so at most as much as a house.
Great! You could put a 1/2 water glass fixed in side console to show the cockpit moviments to us.
id love one of these two seater great video mate
Nice choice ... Milford sound !! Not easy, and some times with landing on 29 :)
I know this place, amazing of beauty :)
Your videos are so good and informative. Thank you very much for taking the time...
Milford Sound! One of the best place here in NZ!
Apart from the damned sandflies. But the scenery is great.
First of all excellent presentation!!!!
VR is already much better and much cheaper, and improving rapidly. Xplane 11.2 is amazing and puts you into the cockpit and you have 360 degree view, horizantal and vertical.. you can look down and see your shadow on the ground, see the traffic on the airport, have a tug give you a pushback, fly approaches in a 737, 747, helicopter, and do many more amazing things. VR give you the sensation of motion, and the roller coasters will demonstrate that as will jumping off a mountain with a wingsuit.
Looks the part but the 3 screens looks like shit
think that is because there is another screen in front of them and the angle.
Azivegu the maker should strip the screens of the black lines , and leave only a small margin, it's just insane the amount of work and them you have 3 lousy screens, at least put 3 curve ones for max immersion, and also the fact that it was no windows just kills me , FYY also need a plane chair not a racer one .
if you were to get rid of the bezel (that is the black edge around the screen) the panel would just fall off. And if you managed to make it stay, you would have massive light bleeding issues then.
ZONAVELHA it's the Cam's angle guys chill everything is fineeeee. .
exactly what i was thinking. like do you buy the machine and put your own monitors in it? id be pissed if i bought this and it came with those ugly ass screens
Brilliant! Is it just me, im sure i saw Squirrel reaching for the bottom part of a wheel a couple of times, as if he was on ETS2 ... I could be wrong but i kinda chuckled, its something i would of done
That reminds me of an F/A-18 simulator I tried when I went to the USS Intrepid museum in New York... I almost puked my guts up when I got out because I was throwing it about so much!
That looks amazing, having flown IRL yourself, would be interesting to hear your opinion on how close your experiences at Virtual Fly is to the real thing. I've been in RAF Waddington's sim, but that must have been nearly 25 years ago now, I remember it being pretty cool when I was 12 to 14 I think.
Also a bit editing advice, as you come to park up, there's a short cross fade, would've been better with a straight cut, as you're just changing angles and not showing any passing of time or change of location.
It's interesting for sure. Only drawback is that real airplanes have a 90 degree view on both sides. When you fly traffic pattern, you generally start setting yourself up for an approach on downwing leg and adjacent to the end of the runway. It would be better if there were monitors at 90 degrees and entry was made from the rear maybe. ??
There's still nothing that compares to "feeling" the plane while flying. Cool vid though
Are they for sale? Lol loving the quality of these, commentary introductions are of a higher standard and execution than TV
Yes: www.virtual-fly.com/en/shop
Yay favourite TH-camr and my home country and near my home town too in the same video what can make this better
If only it had Full movement... Imagine going vertical or upside down.. With a seatbelt of coarse.
Just go to London's Science Museum and that's exactly what you can do. Barrel rolls, loops (the whole cockpit turns with you), you name it.
full movement simulators are usually a million or more 50k for that is more than a fair price the commercial training simulators for 737 and 747 is 10 millions USD 50k is a good price for something like this that is an awesome tool for training or for flight schools
@@tennisfan1668 I was about to say that, it's wicked, really realistic
Looks great for flight schools.
First :)! Love your vids Paul! Keep up the great work!
a tip for the future - there's a lot of runway there for a C172. For a smoother landing, reduce power a few feet above the runway and gently flair. Imagine you're trying to hold off from landing for as long as possible. This should work for all flap settings too.
My family brought me a PS4 for my birthday.
Now I know what I want for Christmas.
Imagine this now running FS 2020! Bet you want to go back and try this
They should make such a simulator but in a real plane with all the windows tv screens and full motion😍
Am sure that the 2.0 model will come with interchangeable panel. But, for being a Training/Fun FTD I think it will do. Any device where you can inject motion I think is a major step forward too. Also, think how much it will save a pilot in IFR Training too. Now, the price, it probably will be kept out of the hands of most. I'll have to save my pennies for this one. But, great step forward to the team.
Just seen your pic on ETS 2 squirrel, I had to use it on a new profile, do you have a gaming FB page? Keep up the good work 👍
might work with a vr headset, and think my wife would real sad if i got this , i would enter it and be forever gone
I have been meaning to ask you. Do you know who the lady in the still picture is at 23:32? Looks like it was taken in New York in the late 40's or early 50's. Curious that it just pops up there.
It's CE certified, that's for sure 😂
You sound almost like Techmoan.
Sorry, but Edward Link was the inventor of the first true immersion simulator over 75 yrs ago. His Link Trainer trained pilots for WW2, but it had been around for a few yrs before that training Air Mail pilots in the US. Google Link Trainer.
nice one Paul :) keep it up
This would be awesome with MS Flight Sim 2020!
Hi,from where is your wonderful jazzy music?Nice presentation..Escaping a bid from dayly stress.Just bushflying a bid..yeah.🍻🙌👋😀👍☕🍺🐟😷😷😷🍷✈:-) :-) :-)
Believe it or not , their were plenty of these type of personal motion simulators back in the mid 90's Many came from Japan and Korea. And i tried a few in NY at the Annual Javits center tech convensions. Cool as heck!. aside from the small screens they really did give the impression of either flight or driving. as the simulators i tried was setup for both flight and auto racing. Back then there was plenty of VR offerings as well. no where near as detailed as todays VR systems, but a few were far more compitent than youd think. but of course they were far too expensive for the normal consumer market. Sony did have the Glasstron HMD. which i purchased and used for many years. many of todays tech gadgets are in fact old ideas brough back. The young dont know since they werent even born, But in the tech work few things are actually all together new. We just had to wait for the tech to come down in price.
Im lovin this enclosed simulator, but as I'm only learning about flying, cud you or somebody please tell me what is the 'strobe light' and what does it do and do you need one in ALL planes ? Please
The gaps in the screens are huge! 👍🏼
i like the video had to look twice when the women flashed nice touch sqrl
squirrel, one product, KW-908 :)
not sure if it works with P3D and FSX (I think it does). but in DCS and with most racing sims (including ETS/ATS) it just makes every chair awesome.. give it a quick search :)
(I have no interest in it, other then I bought one and I love it!)
This would've looked better with a projection screen wrapped around to the sides, they could've hidden the projectors in the molding easily. I saw a guy do his homemade simulator with a screen and 3 projectors, but not having the windows( screens) on the left and right seems weird since ya look outside to check your wing. and it would've been nicer has a 2 seater to be more authentic.
Imagine them in 5-10 years from now using a single wrapped wide screen
Wait until the VR support for MS2020 is out and you have an immersion on a completely different level for a small fraction of the costs, even if your seat is not moving.
The monitors are BY FAR the weak point of such an awesome system. If you've ever tried VR, you will most likely agree, that system with a VR headset, it the ONLY WAY to do it!
Really loved this video with our "egg" :)
This is a common misconception with low-end, motion simulators (and believe me, as a professional aviator with over 30 years and 12,000 hours in everything from Gliders and Helicopters to Jets - I've flown in just about every simulator platform there is.) In an aircraft in a coordinated turn, there is no sensation of "rolling". Instead, the lateral "rolling" of a simulator is used (should be used) to replicate the feel of "yaw" in an actual aircraft. Likewise, in real, full-motion, LEVEL C & D simulators, the "pitching" motion of the simulator is used to replicate the feel of acceleration and deceleration. Watch a video of such a simulator in operation during an actual training flight and you'll observe what I'm trying to explain.
High -end simulators cannot accurately simulate G. That is why they are not cleared to 'assess' pilot performance in unusual attitude simulations.
As Mork from Ork would say to the egg, "Fly be free"!! LOL
Ovo means egg in Portuguese... Love this playlist
try vr lol when you can lean left or right and expand the view out of each window is just mind boggling :) all you need is the movable chair :)
Great video, great choice of location. If you have ten to fifteen knots in that neck of the woods, the bullets of wind skidding down and around the lee of the rugged and irregular terrain would be a lot higher. Is it possible to simulate likely wind movement not just on the aircraft but over terrain itself or is that a processor or two too far?
Once you've experienced a hemispherical dome simulator with a faithfully recreated cockpit, you just have to laugh at any "simulator" that uses multiple flat panel displays for the visuals. It spoils you so badly it isn't even fair.
What I am using since about ten years now is TRACK IR system it is great one screen only
great vid
I didn’t know you did aviation videos as well
I would like to see this kind of set up in Canada I would spend money doing virtual flying this is what i got but no motion .
Squirrel is there another 1 cause i love these things! good job and keep it up!
also my favourite one is the twin seat!
Just me or is there more amazing stuff to watch on TH-cam then ever before. I feel like a kid from the 50's
Didn’t know that exists! It’s a dream having one of those. Can you load different airports? And the cost will be nice to know.
I've been there... quite a picturesque place.
If they have one big enough for two people, can you join the "virtual" Mile High Club?
Can you use Addon aircraft like A2A C172/182 and the like? Or is it just the not very good default? Is there a fixed price, or is there options? I don't want to call the people just to get a price. I'd rather have one around here so I can go fly in it.
love ur vids keep it up ;)
What an awesome setup. Of course, I had to focus on the spelling error on the placard at 7:33...
Looks cool..... BUT , can one fly anywhere or only up and down what looks like the Amazon ? Is there a world map? Can I fly over Europe or the US ?
Hey Sqrl!
Can you tell me how the machine reacts if you crash it?
It kills you
Ahahah !
Squirrel Oh yeah, because i remembered that when Jeff crashed during a emergency landing. I his sadly dead now... Miss you Jeff ;)
Perfect Response.
Someone said KILJU? WE NEED MORE KILJU! Quickly back to my summer car!
You should get one of these
I don't think Mrs. Squirrel will agree somehow, lol.
Hey Jeff Favignano was in one? I'm subscribed to him lol his gta 5 vids are hilarious with buggs and Zach, Dave and Ryan. Small world
WTF ?? a bunch of high end technology stuff including motion and... 3 crappy monitors of a reception desk ???
I wish they had a similar like this for American Truck Simulator
Dorian McKoy They do, check out some of SCS videos or blogs, there's an actual truck that's been converted and moves around with hydraulics.
Mark Morris ok thanks
Is there not a way to mount a screen on the door? So when it opens up, the screen just moves with it?
