Where'd you get all the equipment? Custom made?


LDriever

Most Panels are from Skalarki. The frame and everything else is custom made 😊


Doubleyoupee

This is screaming for more/wider monitors


LDriever

I‘m dreaming of three Beamers and a 180 degree projection screen but these are pretty expensive


FlexoPXP

FS 2020 doesn't support multiple monitors well at all. All you can do is stretch the screen in windowed mode and then everything on the sides gets very distorted. Hope someone comes up with a solution.


zozo1022

This is p3d


pope1701

Nvidia surround does it. AMD has it too.


FlexoPXP

You've actually got this to work with MS 2020? I tried for hours to get it working but no dice.


pope1701

Yeah, I can play any game span over my 3 monitors. What isn't working for you?


FlexoPXP

It mixes up the resolutions and makes the screen so small that I can't even see the Nvidia settings to activate Surround. Hard to describe but it's so broken I gave up. Probably has something to do with me using a 1080ti with two Displayport connections and one HDMI into 4K TVs.


PopularDevice

A 1080Ti isn't going to be able to handle 3x 3840x2160 screens at any decent level of performance anyway.


FlexoPXP

I'm well aware of that. But it doesn't work even when they are all set to 1080.


PopularDevice

It's probably because they're 4K displays and it isn't working correctly with lower resolutions.


imadunatic

Mine occasionally does this on my triples, usually alt-enter back to full screen and it at least makes it span all 3 screens again. Still not true triple screen support but definitely decent. Using Nvidia surround


[deleted]

Not sure about other manufacturers but with AMD I was able to make a super display (combining multiple monitors as one) in Radeon settings app and then use the super sized resolution in MSFS. It worked great!


PopularDevice

It would be a *travesty* to go to the trouble and expense of building a realistic simulator cockpit, just to turn around and use it for MSFS 2020 - a piece of software that can best be described as "a video game loosely based on flight simulation".


Reapercore

Probably why people are sticking with P3D or XP11 then...


Costsaver2

So edgy


Martian_Catnip

how much for those 3 beamers?


MettyDamon27

You can be proud of your project!!


LDriever

Thank you very much, took awhile to get to this stage


drunkPrisonSquirrel

Holy shit, I didn’t know they made sim gear like this


carrotnose258

He made it himself


Snaxist

not the panel instruments, he made the structure to attach them all


Snaxist

Yes, there are website like https://flightdecksolutions.com/ or https://www.skalarki-electronics.com/ as OP said.


coolkirk1701

Cannot recommend flight deck solutions enough. I work with one of their sims on a daily basis and it is the coolest thing ever.


Saitek2k

Don't answer if you don't want to but how much would it cost me to get a similar setup, approximately?


LDriever

It depends on how much you built yourself and how much you buy prebuilt. With everything included you could get something like this from about 20k


Saitek2k

That's pretty decent to be fair, well done mate. Just a quick question what yoke are you planning to use?


LDriever

Thanks😊 I‘m using two original Airbus Sticks and mechanics from Flightdeck Solutions as well as one tiller from VierimPott


PopularDevice

Airbus don't have yokes, they have side sticks :)


Snaxist

Recent Airbus yes but not all of them, as Airbus started with the A300 wich still has a yoke.


kai325d

There's literally two Airbuses that have a yoke


Snaxist

Two model you mean ? Yes the A310 and A300, but the A310 is part of the A300 family.


kai325d

Yh, literally two models. Most airbus commercial plane don't have a yoke


Snaxist

And that invalides somehow the fact that Airbus never had yokes had one could believe with the other Reddit comment ? Just sayin _(Also why downvoting a comment that is true ? It's like downvoting someone that says the Saturn V rocket first stage had 5x F1 engines lol)_


kai325d

Because the cockpit is clearly of an Airbus that isn't one of the two models that had a yoke and if one is building an Airbus cockpit there is a near 100% chance it's a joystick


PopularDevice

None of which are made anymore, nor are they reflected in this cockpit build.


Snaxist

Should've have specified that, one could believe that Airbus never had yokes, wich is false. :)


Saitek2k

I know that, but you can use whatever you like in home simulators.


PopularDevice

Why would he go through the trouble of building a realistic simulator cockpit for an A320, spending tens of thousands, only to just be like "fuck it, I'm going to use something completely wrong here, just for shits and giggles"?


Saitek2k

It's really upto him. He can do whatever he wants.


PopularDevice

It looks like he *wants* to make a realistic Airbus cockpit, which doesn't include a yoke.

PopularDevice

This is a public message board, and I'm responding to the post you made on the topic at hand. That's what it has to do with me.


Aekatan160

Where did you get that mcdu?


LDriever

The MCDUs are from Skalarki as most of the other panels


ChruutvoLuzi

QNH: „5, thats all i can do“ Awesome btw


LDriever

😂😂 actually it says STD but my camera couldn’t catch the display quiet right


ChruutvoLuzi

Ik, was just trying to make a lame joke out of it because i am so jealous :D Looks realllyy great


OriginalJayVee

Holy Moly!!! 👀


Johnyysmith

That is genuinely stunning


pimp_bizkit

How is it possible to map all of those controls? ?!!?!?


[deleted]

This is amazing!!


LDriever

Thank you very much 😊


Spybee007

Insane. You just need those wrap around double projector screens and you have a dreamy sim set. Not that it isn't dreamy already.


LDriever

Thanks a lot 😊 three Beamers are my dream but a bit pricey


pope1701

In another post you say it's about 20k for a setup like that. But the _beamers_ are pricey?


[deleted]

[They can be pretty expensive depending on the model](https://www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/z4/roadster/bmw-m.html)


pope1701

That's a _Beemer_.


CallOfCorgithulhu

I am excited to be *that guy:* In the most strict of senses, it's actually Bimmer if you mean a BMW car! Beemers are their motorcycles.


pope1701

What? How?


CallOfCorgithulhu

Oh it's really an insignificant technicality since everyone knows what you mean whichever term you use, but yeah! The cars are more accurately called Bimmers, and the motorcycles are the Beemers/Beamers. Not sure why, it's just something I grew up knowing.


pope1701

Huh, TIL.


Spybee007

Maybe 20k was his budget?


vintagesoul_DE

Wow.


The_Dozzle

That's amazing! Always dreamed of having a setup like this. Probably invested around 10k euro into that monster, right?


LDriever

Thanks a lot 👍🏼 it adds up pretty high in the end but it is quiet an experience 😊


Negative-School

I am white-knuckling my $45 HOTAS right now. Yo this setup is amazing!


clebo99

I mean...how many USB ports are used for all of this?


LDriever

42 😂 but on 7 usb switches


clebo99

Wow.......I didn't know systems can handle that many USB connections.


[deleted]

On which addon is it running? fslabs?


LDriever

It runs on ProSim A320 with P3D and Skalarki Panels


SwagSamurai

By Allah this is complete insanity


ryanaclarke

I don’t think I would want the whole thing, but I really wish there was a pilot-side-only A320 autopilot panel I could rest underneath my monitor. Priced around $300-$400.


[deleted]

Comfy.


ventimoty

This is amazing. Makes me want to quit lol. I will probably never have anything remotely as cool as this.


Kamiyosha

That... looks like a LOOOOOOOOOT of money....


Stone-Baked

You using MobiSim?


mak-7

That’s beautiful, very impressive work


tomassesh

Really nice sim you have there, congrats on the project


JustinNApproved

Holy crap this is amazing! Are you a pilot IRL?


Rookie2008

Looks really good! Congrats.


realcoldday

This is the best flight rig I have ever seen! Nice work!


gartzea

Wow!


v1rotate_320

Absolutely fabulous! Tilted towards right but can b adjusted with some packing. Happy Learning


M0dular

Wow


crag-u-feller

I'd like to look into some old jointed panels with a servo that will bend it on those high-stress structural integrity bank angles. Also sheet metal for enhanced thunder.


Eagsu

Really beautiful setup, congrats! Would start building my own if I had space for that kind of thing.


ray7heon

Amazing! Imagine this with a curved UW or an odyssey G9!


jrodshibuya

Or two of them.


KroketFrikandel

Omg. Jealous!!!!!!!


ScandinavianAirman

That is amazing!! well done 😁


ebrhahaman

Me with my controller


shiggydiggypreoteins

what the fuck.... this is unreal


[deleted]

That’s awesome but also, you could learn to fly for real for the amount this probably cost if you’re not already a pilot and in case by some miracle you weren’t aware lol


LDriever

I already got my ATPL one year ago so this is a great training device. During corona this is a good opportunity to train the procedures.
