DIY, affordable, and fun! That is what this channel is about. Our fully enclosed 1984 Cessna 172P is nearly a 1:1 replica of its real-world counterpart. When linked with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, this beast is simply amazing. Subscribe and join the journey with low-cost flight simulation. Check out our website at acesimulations.com/
A fantastic experience - both flying both ways and the event itself. I noticed you were in the left seat - so cool. The fireworks and light display were amazing.
Yes absolutely. For one I have a playlist of all the videos on my simulator. ru-vid.com/group/PLGwghv2FvbZw7W049eZgrYrrhzlJBYLqN I also have DIY build plans available at acesimulations.com/cessna-172.html. I hope this helps!
Vegas is looking really good, it's been updated since I last flew there. I will have to fly there again. If I could make one small suggestion - can the camera position be raised? As a viewer, what I could see in front of the plane was quite restricted. If the camera was raised and then tilted down slightly, the effect of the building lights reflecting on the screen could could be reduced or eliminated. Thanks for another look at your awesome sim.
@Squirel I am trying to find something better mounting wise. Unfortunately my options are rather limited in the cockpit but I will improve it. Thanks for the comment!
@@HelloOutTher I built the simulator but we do sell custom simulators elsewhere in the United States. Currently we don't have any in the midwest, but if you are interested in buying or building a simulator yourself you can check out our website acesimulations.com
Very cool! I am putting in a Garmin G3x, dual G-5s, GTN 750, GMA 350, and a GFC 500 autopilot, in my Mooney 201. I am now going to build a simulator kind of like yours. I am starting with a base that will be steel with a plywood top. Harbor Freight wheels, then I am using Amazon screw jacks that I will weld onto the steel base so that I can roll it, then use the screw jacks to level it. I have four of them that cost $15 a piece. I am researching what instruments to replicate what I have in the plane. The Realsim does seem the easiest way. However, it is pricey and there seems to be a lag on the touch screen.
I think you should name her "Phoenix" because she survives to fly another day. I would like a Cessna 182 with an analogue panel. While I fly a selection of GA and regional prop aircraft in the sim, I keep going back to the 182. Thanks for another cool video.
@Squirel I like that a lot! The simulator is also based in Phoenix Arizona so it is rather fitting. Most likely the next simulator I build will be a G1000 Cessna 182 but we will see.
A kodiak 100 or a baron beechcraft 58 analog version. Thank yiu gor asking haha im working on my own version of a kodiak myself with help from air manager, and experimental sim avionics with a few of my own wood working techniques im saving up for a tripple monitor setup now.
It would be a modular one where I could swap out panels, controls, and center console in hopefully less than 20 minutes or so, but otherwise leave the seats, doors, windscreen, floor and rudder pedals, etc the same. Obviously understanding that each aircraft has different cabin dimensions and seats, this would be giving up a little bit of realism for the ability to fly a variety of different aircraft with different avionics. Ditto on the 182 like Squirel, plus also an SR20 or 22, a Bonanza or Baron, and something from Piper...not sure which one right at this moment.
Hi I am a begineer in electronic Did you have or know any website to build my rocket? I ever built my FPV Fixed wing using F405Wing as my flight control. I use Inav to control my flight but I no nothing about programng
@Indonesia01ian Well it is roclet science so it isn't easy. For starters you can design the rocket itself with OpenRocket. Make sure it is stable and then you can order parts to build it. As for the electrical side that is up to you. There are government regulations that prevent publishing most software. I would start out by using arduino and creating a basic data logger than go from there.
As great as this may seem a $500 VR headset is still far superior. The pancake view doesnt give the 3d immersion reality offers. VR does. RU-vid makes this seem better of a simulator than it actually is.
@Despiser25 I have tried vr before and for external views it is better but it doesn't come close to physically being in the cockpit. This just fit my purposes better. Maybe in the future I will try vr again.
@@AceSimulations VR doesn't attract youtube views, lol. Everyone knows who the actor that played Like Skywalker was but few remember the actor that played C3PO, lol.
I can see why an authentic cockpit like this would be so good for someone doing theit PPL. It's no wonder uou had FPS issues with that heavy duty scenery. Well done.
I hope you feel very proud of your achievement. The finished product looks amazing in flight. I am really happy for you. Now, how about a hydraulic platform lol. 😁
@@AceSimulations I was initially planning on building a shell, but mixed reality is way simpler and very effective. Would be a shame to wast all the work you have done with the aircraft shell, so maybe stay with fitting some extra screens. FI, you will need to mod the model files to remove the parts of the inside shell that will get in the way(I have done this myself and it actually works fine). There is a simple mod out there were you remove everything internal, but that won't work for you as you have pop out screens.
Really cool setup there. First I have ever seen like that. Are you in an abandoned department store or something there? Looks like it had office space with cubicles at one time as well. Thanks
@@AceSimulations I gotcha’. Thank you for the response. That’s cool. I’m guessing everyone else is just waiting impatiently to see if you’ll offer them a “flight”. Great work there! Cheers from hotter than heck, Texas!
