[TRAPBOULTERNAS]

[ETonZan]

[Fastbikkel]

Very smart and functional, nice job!

[VirenKickedPresAss]

Looks like a fun project. How wide can you make the frame?

[rogerdodgeraviation]

@VirenKickedPresAss The frame is going to be as wide as the basement window well cover. About 46" wide.

[stelkovsky98]

Thank you!



[Armydude771]

[mw2ownage911]

[Fastbikkel]

@mw2ownage911 Takes a fake to know a fake.

[hey980102]

but where can you find just THAT basement cover window thing??

[rogerdodgeraviation]

@hey980102 Lowe's or Home Depot or any hardware store

[636Castle]

Come on man...these are like - "DIY" tutorials, so you can save money, right? Then at least make your tutorials free :/

[rogerdodgeraviation]

@636Castle I'm working on an idea for a free project... a great way to keep up to date on that is to "like" us at the Roger Dodger Aviation Facebook page. Just Google Roger Dodger Aviation Facebook

[zakman246]

Ok so I am very tempted for this but.... I have a laptop! Do I need to buy screens for my laptop to make it look like the video?

[123FerrariFan]

@zakman246 i dont think you do, but i think you will have to make a mount for the laptop to sit on, you can make this out of PVC aswell

[rogerdodgeraviation]

The video and instruction manual shows you how to make the keyboard buttons.

[HAYABUSA1300BIKE]

great,, i love flits but i need learm more enghis , dut i did suscrive i will improve mi inghis ,to go in this amesin word .. saludos desde mexico

[scmustang23]

Alright, so I am interested in buying this, as I am building a portable Combat simulator as well. However, the only reason I would be purchasing this is to find out how you do the separate keyboard assignments in FSX. I want to be able to have two keyboards, and have, for example, the "A" key assigned to 2 different functions, one on each keyboard. Will the kit explain how this can be done if I purchase this kit?

[rogerdodgeraviation]

The video and instruction manual show you how to set up two keyboards, but we're not double-assigning any of the keys.

[piromoretta]

so i finished mine take a look

[piromoretta]

thanks man you have great ideas low cost mine it`s stil work in progress!!!hy from Romania

[skierman345]

where do you guys think of this?????

[atlcrashpad]

That looks so real I can't tell it from a Professional Simulator.

[JayPattersonTV]

@atlcrashpad hahahah yup!

[bennyboy942]

Haha. Thats very inspiring, so inspiring, that I am going out to buy one of these things today! (to bad it's 10PM lol) Just one question, do you post the quadrants etc, to australia?

[rogerdodgeraviation]

When you buy one of our DIY videos, you can download it instantly.

If you buy a joystick or throttle quadrant, etc. from our Online Store, the delivery is handled by Amazon.

[mrLundby]

Where to buy the throttle quadrant like yours? Can't find a throttle box like that - it could be nice, if you could give me a link or something from europe, because the taxes is very expensive, if I'm going to get my flight sim stuff from USA. Hope you can help me :)

[rogerdodgeraviation]

Click to the DIYflightsims webpage and click "Online Store" in the menu.

[oregonmon]

Very cool, my dad would be all over this. BUT, I'm looking for great ideas like these for racing sims. Thanks for posting.

[mattsta12345]

How do you get reverse thrust on your throttle quadrant

[rogerdodgeraviation]

You are in luck. We made a YouTube video about reverse thrust. I would post a link to it, but YouTube won't allow links in comments.

Click to the DIYflightsims website,

click Free DIY Videos,

and then click Reverse Thrust in the video list.

[mattsta12345]

How did you get the revErse thrust on your throttle quadrant? I can't seem to figure it out. Could you help me pleas.

[JoaoT805]

wow thats pretty nifty.

[hacker1462]

[rogerdodgeraviation]

Thank you! Glad you like it.

[frutilupi24]

[lotofcartoon]

[lotofcartoon]

if i pay for the video,it is sent to my email or wat?

[rogerdodgeraviation]

Yes, the videos, instruction manuals and keyboard templates all come in a zip file. When you place your order, you get a link and a password to download the file.

[zobatczob]

that's really good thinkin. i want one.

[FuckAnPWorkAtBurgerK]

as a real life aircraft maintenance technician, i love all planes, mostly commercial aircraft.

i want to make a enclosed simulator with hydraulics thay follow pitch, roll and yaw.

i can build the hydraullic system & switching for the control valves for fluid flow but, problem i have is idk anything about pc serial / parallel ports & adressing to some control box so when pitch roll & yaw commands are inputed, that will conv. to a ctrl signal to op/cls relays to move the actuators.

[Yonkage]

Man, I need more USB ports. My computer has four, but I've already got my wireless keyboard/mouse in one, joystick in the second, custom throttle in third and fourth. I'm fresh out!

[HowToMakeCrap]

Most computer stores like radioshack or best buy sell a usb that one end goes in the computer, and the other end has like 5 ports to plus extra stuff in.

Also, if you have the saitek pro flight yoke, on the back it has extra usb ports for anything to be plugged in to.

Hope this info helped.
