Avid flight simulation enthusiast, mostly flying a full-size A320 home cockpit. Visit the Flight Path Simulation website for more details: www.flightpathsimulation.club/
I bought the whole cockpit from Vier-Im-Pott and, yes, the electronic modules are from Skalarki. You can find a parts list here: www.flightpathsimulation.club/a320-parts-list/
Good work developing this sim, it is impressive. Appreciate every minute of your experience. You are very privileged I hope to meet you in the virtual skies one day 😀
I was on the home build path myself; but circumstances resulted in me retiring to Thailand at early age, so I cannot spend money on a full sim build. Rather I spend time on simming with the most realistic commercial offerings.
@@playerowPlays LOL. Thanks. We do keep our WorldFlight A320 at the Airbus factory near Hamburg ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NtR8JMU-fwo.html
I use the repositioning flights as test runs for setting up the streams/recordings and hopefully working some of the kinks out. For now it's easier for the team to just record the flight without having to worry about the recordings. There is usually enough material for me to edit the recording to make a short video. Note that we will definitely be live streaming during the actual WorldFlight event. For the overlay I use FlyLive Studio which is easy to set up and just runs in the background. See flyapps.weebly.com/flylive-studio.html
Switches, knobs, and levers are connected to USB I/O boards that comes with a driver (a low-level piece of software communicating with hardware) that the A320 simulation can use to get or set settings (e.g. position of a switch, turning a Fault light on, etc ). Close to everything is plug and play when it comes to the hardware I'm using.
Hello Captain, Appreciate if you can share monitor settings, I have the same setup and I’m having difficulties setting up the view same as yours, thanks in advance
There are different ways to go about this, from building a lot yourself (DIY), to using real Airbus parts (OEM), or, like I did, assemble it from off-the-shelf parts made for cockpit builders. So the price will vary accordingly. I discuss some of the options in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZeIV5dp3UBo.htmlsi=y7XlP3lG45JCv7PZ
Strongly disagree with your lower estimate. I built a (rudimentary) A320 cockpit for £3000 including the actual PC to run it. I loved building it. There's no upper limit to the cost though!
You are right, I should have been more specific. The price range I gave in the video is for using simulator parts. You can certainly bring the price down substantially when taking the "Do It Yourself" approach (and some key components such as the FCU and MCDU have now entered the market at a more affordable price). There is a very impressive build in France where the owner gave himself a budget of no more than 5 Euros per day. He now has a fully enclosed A320 cockpit with a lot of impressive details. Just keep in mind that he has been building it for more than 10 years. Time is money indeed.
Your FO “Crafty” is very talented! I’d like to place an order for the “INOP” placards. Once my Flight Deck arrives I’ll provide a list of 737 specific Placards.
I’d love to see an episode on how you became a Bus Driver, and How you made your Hardware selections. This could easily span multiple episodes and /or a complete new series called the “Down the Rabbit Hole”!
For a cheap MCDU I would suggest you look at the one WINWING recently announced. I have a list of all the parts I used and their suppliers here: www.flightpathsimulation.club/a320-parts-list/
Yes, the new ProSim audio v2 application should allow you to do the same with the radios in your future 737. You will even be able to do Public Announcements.
@@captaintango Thank you for your answer. 🙂 Do you which color versions there are? I thought Yellow with black letters was for maintenance, but I've also seen red with white letters and vice versa?
Originally I started with the JeeHell FMGS freeware and P3D. That configuration is fully supported and works well (btw it uses the old Project Airbus freeware for the exterior 3D model), There is now a "mod" that allows you to use the same JeeHell FMGS freeware with MSFS 2020. In that case I believe the FBW A320 exterior model is used. The challenge is that it is not fully supported and several features don't work or are "wonky". So I have recently moved to the ProSim A320 software, which does fully support MSFS 2020 (and failures). It uses its own exterior 3D model. If you have additional questions, the easiest way would be for you to use the Contact Us form on our website: www.flightpathsimulation.club/contact-us/ I am always happy to share my experience. Best of luck with your project!
I provide more information about the cost of my setup in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZeIV5dp3UBo.html You can also find a list of parts on this webpage: www.flightpathsimulation.club/a320-parts-list/ If you follow the links for the suppliers you can find detailed price information on their website.
