How about adding a little motion control with pneumatics? Or better still, how about using a real 737 cockpit as a simulator? The whole thing is powered by a hefty looking gaming rig running X-Plane, allowing to take on any aviation challenge, including landing an Embraer 109 on the deck of the USS Nimitz Aircraft Carrier. An overhead panel sporting yet more LCD panels and instruments was a recent addition. Flight simulator home cockpit simulator#The simulator sits facing a wall with an overhead LCD projector providing views of the outside world. Built on a PVC pipe frame with plywood panels, the cockpit is bristling with LCD panels, flight instruments, and bays of avionics that look like they came out of a cockpit. The video after the break is a whirlwind tour of the main part of his build, which does not seek to faithfully reproduce any particular cockpit as much as create a plausibly awesome one. That seems to be where he caught the DIY bug. A long-time fan of flight simulator games, he was lucky enough to log some time in a real 737 simulator. But is that special kind of crazy that it takes to advance the state of the art, and we applaud him for that. His wife and friends think he’s crazy, and we agree. In witness whereof we present this over-the-top home-brew flight simulator. In particular, the aviation hobbies – Radio control flying, FPV multicopter racing, and the like – seem to inspire more than their fair share of hard-core builds. Every hobby needs to have a few people who take it just a little too far. ![]()
