For its simplicity I would say this is one of my favorite set ups i've seen. The only problem is I'm not a fan of the Saitek yoke. But overall I say good job.
@musicoreinstein I'd go for pedals before a trim wheel. The cost is greater, but nothing gives you the feel of real flight like having your feet on the rudder pedals.
Hi there I like it very much, it's simple and clean , I hope you can see my sim and the desk markup I made to give me any tips before I start to build it mi user name is betod in YouTube there are 2 vids of cockpit check the one with voice thanks.
@brandon9271 works good you can use the rudder as brake and gas instead of toe brakes on the simulator and the yoke ofcourse is used as the steering wheel
great job at making the desk ,im thinking of making one from cardboard to save painting it ,just kidding:) in your other video are you releasing a flight sim? great job for 50 us dollars looks sturdy and neat
@joker1031000 I don't have any saitek flight simulator things yet. but if you get a saitek throttle it will work on Boeing's. But you can not manually control 1 engine it will control both engines. But you can probably have on lever to left engine and 1 lever to the right engine.
Excellent work. What are you planning for the monitors? Are you considering an Eyefinity enabled video card for a 3 monitor setup? Provide some details about the PC you plan to use? Very... very nice!
@gpruitt54 You must have missed the part where I installed the projector! At this point, I have no need for multiple monitors, as I've got a single, 6-foot wide screen a few feet from my face. That, combined with TrackIR, gives a very realistic visualization of the virtual world.
@djricardooliveira97 Good question... it's been a year now, so the details are getting fuzzy. The wood I got was a large sheet of MDF (medium-density fiberboard), and I think it ran around US $40 or so. Can't recall exactly. I'm pretty sure I was able to build it all with one sheet through some judicious planning.
Why do you have 2 throttle quadrants?
Please reply ASAP!!

@TheHampo123 The computer was around $900 (USD), and the desk was somewhere in the neighborhood of $75 (USD). Do your own conversions.

Why not just use the thread sin the yoke and throttle to directly screw them in place rather than using the clamps?
askempasa 3 months ago
@askempasa It was much easier to just clamp them, and should anything every go wrong it's easier to remove them for repairs/replacement.

How much was the cost of material, and manpower for the construction of "base" of the controls? The piece of wood ....
