Full Motion Sim on Cessna, Ground Effects

[JtownJUnkies]

I have some questions for you, I'm in the process of building a full metal motion simulator, which will be less fidgety and jerky then your setup. I want to know what software you use to convert the movements in FSX to motion?

[SuperConnardGmod]

Learn to take off and learn to landing before ,BAD AMATOR !

[Fr0styNugs]

gotta watch your fingers

[Virginityrocks]

I can't wait to build one of these. I'm taking the same principal, but hopefully find ways to improve it. This is by far the best sim I've seen, built professionally, or at home.

[72david72lp]

waste of time and money

[16thScooter]

Yes, go watch TV or something.

[Virginityrocks]

lol... This can be made with spare parts and like...maybe 100 dollars of Canadian Tire tubes and bolts?

Waste of time? What are you going to do otherwise? Watch TV and play video games?

[guitarslaveee]

you need practice your landing

[txroyscock]

Thats great you must have alot of fun in that

[CamNUFC]

way too much movement, it also looks as though it goes by the position of the joystick and not the actual angle of the aircraft but anyway good simulator

[txroyscock]

I think it looks fine. why would you even bother saying that

[CamNUFC]

well i am entitled to my opinion the same as you are and i think there does look like too much movement, and also i think it looks as though it does not go by the angle on the aircraft which i would say is a downside. and if you think it was such a stupid thing to say why would you comment back

[jancoetzer12]

I agree. That makes it so unrealistic.

[skierplaterandy]

it doesnt, it goes through data from the simulator. if you are in a proper turn the plane although banked will have all its forces on the pilot directly downward.

[CamNUFC]

if you read carefully i said "looks as though" i didn't say it did, I know how it works I just think there's too much movement and that's why I said it looks as thought it goes by the position of the joystick. look its just a comment and I didn't mean anything by it just giving my opinion.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

omg I had that gay ass joystick, it broke so fuckin quick! Time for an upgrade.

[kzs19880515]

not bad guy:)

[Fenixs11]

wow... what happend when you roll 360º?... maybe i build your cockpit.

thx

[showme87]

the movement is so unrealistic..

[TheOneAndOnlyFink]

I think a bigger monitor would be better.

[olbi182]

or 3 monitors ;) i think this is going to be very very very good when he add some rudder pedals and 2 monitos and its be perfectly !

[guitarherodude1]

52 inch plasma screen =)

[maaitahs]

hi there i must say what a video am just wondering about how did u do it , so if u can inform me with the cost of it and everything , thx anyway

[jacklozi]

PULL UP! PULL UP!!!

[airste172]

Where are the rudder pedals??? Without pedals it's not a correct or an accurate simulation.

What's with the joystick? With the exception of a Cessna Bird Dog, all Cessna models available for simulation use a yoke, not a stick.

A yoke and pedals do more for authenticity of simulation than any device that bounces you around a bit. Of course, if you don't intend to ever fly a real plane and the simulator is not being used as an instructional aid then maybe getting bounced around is fun.

[tronicgr]

You are right. But the simulator was in earlier stages at the point this video was shot and I wanted to test its limits on motion performance. And, why not, have some fun with it.

I used it for real simulation later... :-)

[Legendary588]

i think you should make a F/A-18 Cockpit it take some time, but it would make you famous

[IIproductionsII]

@Legendary588 I'm making a F/A-18 at the momment. It's a fully accurate, and even contains a seat from an actual F-18. I'm using 4 projectors for the canopy, so instead of just looking at a moniter, you have a display all around you to make it look like you're actually looking out of the canopy of a F-18. All the controls in the cockpit work with FSX. I'm going to be either using something similar to what this is, or using a dreamflyer for the motion.

[Legendary588]

@IIproductionsII haha sweet, I remember leaving that comment ^, crazy it was two years ago, anyways that's sweet, hope to see it soon!

[jetfighter2011]

Uh dude there is no good authentic feeling yoke out, I have bought a ton and none feel anything like a real cessna's yoke during takeoff... etc.

[flyboyandre]

How many Cessna's have you flown at the age of 15?

Cool Simulator!!

[jetfighter2011]

Only a few, not a ton.

[CamNUFC]

erm I'm 15 and iv been flying since i was about 5 as my granddad has a light aircraft and probably have about 100 flying hours, fine not in a Cessna but in other light aircraft such as an Emeraude and Tecnam Sierra

[dragster5601]

Lolz i have the same joystick as you wish i had the chair thing tho

[blueangelzrock2]

i got on of those see my dad makes them

[CptBurgos]

hey man how you do the machine?... please tell me i want build one of them

[tronicgr]

Check your PM... :-)

[ahc25wn6]

couldnt you rather share the whole deal with us rather that just him ? :P

[tronicgr]

Google: "Thanos Home motion flight simulator by tronicgr"

[siroos7]

Yeah Tronicgr, I have been trying to pick up things just from looking at the vid, but need your help. How can I build a similar item?

[qwertyxf]

Aahahha lol imagine turbulance XD

[mikestef1]

Βραωο ρε μεγάλε

[tronicgr]

Ευχαριστω φιλε.

Γιατι δεν το προσπαθεις να φτιαξεις και εσυ ενα? Δεν ειναι δύσκολο, και ολα τα υλικα μπορεις να τα βρεις εδω στην Ελλαδα...

Θανος

[wedfghyd]

i hope you turn all the lights out and fly at night.

[CplNavrasMEC]

I want one :D

[rvo91]

WOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH :)

[ivoryjoker]

Great, thanks.

[ivoryjoker]

Thank you for sharing with us the progress on your FMS, you've created an excellent machine.

I've just tried the motionflightsim address but it seems the domain is no longer active, is that correct?

Cheers

[tronicgr]

I thinks it ok now...
