hey there, im a big fan of star wars and when I found about star citizen a couple months back I was blazing with excitement I am currently building my pc with the money I saved over the years just so I could play this game and I am going to save up for a better setup to make the game feel more immersive. your videos has inspired me to make my own setup ❤love your vids bro you always somehow manage to hype me up😁
Awesome, I think I mentioned game glass in one of my previous comments during your build. I wasn't sure if I'd go physicalized or game-glass but seeing it here really seems it'd be everything I'd need. Great video, loved the screen mount and carbon fiber look.
@UndeadParrot gaming yeah'i have the x56 by Logitech and have all the buttons mapped, I'm still going to be building something for sure!! Love the content keep up the great work!
You could build one that supports all of them. Space, earth flight and racing. He has a video that he swaps a few things out to go from flight sim to space and I’m sure with a few mods it could go to racing
@@UndeadParrot Well i respect that even more than, for me learning skills that need cordination is really hard since i have a problem where i'm just bad with my hand eye cordination. But i'm always happy to learn new stuff :)
I'm SO glad I found your channel! I'm looking at building my own cockpit VERY similar to yours, and have slowly been planning. Seeing your set up has given me a TON of inspiration!
Glad to hear! Also my cockpit's 3D files are available here in case you want to use them in any way: www.undeadparrot.com/simpit-3d-model-star-citizen-dcs/
I think it has been around a year since I’ve discovered your channel while searching setup when I bought SC. I must say that you are incredibly devoted to what you are doing and it bring me joy to watch your videos when they come out. Flight safe and continue like that. Words of a fan ❤
Parrot, your DIY projects are truly something, and although I said this in Disc, having a shard for SRS is a REALLY good idea! I'll have to pick your brain on it.
Damm thats awsome! I always thought a tuch screen would work well there, happy you could pull it off. Defiinatly some insperation for me. Keep up the awsome work! 🤟
You are very creative 👍 Might have to build a cockpit some day for those long winters. Use to game all the time when I was younger and got into building stuff instead. Might come full circle and combine the both. Cheers
It's been so much fun getting to watch your setup grow! I wish I had the space and time to dedicate to building a cockpit like this. Please keep the videos coming.
I just happen to stumble upon your channel while looking for Microsoft flight simulator videos. Impressive work I will investigate star Citizen. Thank you.
I love your videos! I stumbled upon your videos recently after getting into Star citizen. I really want to make a diy setup like yours! Thanks for the opportunity to be in the giveaway!
Hey, love that setup, ive been watching you for a while now. I dabble in carpentry and have built my own desktop but looking to expand with a setup like this one day Nice vid man
Very interesting solution! As a fan of touchscreen monitors (i.e. non-tablets) in my own setup, I didn't think that GameGlass was compatible with secondary monitors in a Windows setup. Has that change recently? This limitation was part of the reason I decided to go down the road of adding Elgato Stream Decks and other button boxes to my setup for other games while still using Helios for DCS. Fantastic video, as always. I always enjoy seeing other people's labors of love and you do a fantastic job documenting your efforts!
Such an inspiration for my simpit design, which is still just that, a design. But thanks to you and your very helpful DIY way of doing things has given me some crazy ideas lol Thanks for the content, Keep it up!
Thanks, glad to hear it! If it's of any help, my cockpit's 3D model is also available for download for free: www.undeadparrot.com/simpit-3d-model-star-citizen-dcs/
Sure, good point. I'm trying to find a middle way with not talking enough and talking too much. :D Perhaps here's few things I should have explained better.
Really cool setup! Hopefully, it will at one point be possible to get feedback from the game as well (e.g. the mobiglass always shows the current status of the landing gear, quantum spool, etc.)
Amazing job as always ! I myself am a lot into DCS and Star citizen and personally would love an helios like app or even a per ship style gui in gameglass. SC's api is yet to be seen ;( . Best hope for your future flights !
Cool simpit you have there. One of these days I will have mine up and running too. Star citizen is a lot of fun when you can actually play it :) I played around with game glass a few years ago, but my tablets are out of date now and I cant use them :(
This is really awesome. Found your channel while looking for dual stick setups, and it continuously blows me away! Question: do you always prefer to have your right stick center mounted? I find I prefer mine evenly set before each arm in a natural resting position.
I had the right stick on right side in my previous cockpit. I'd say I prefer this a bit more, but mostly because I'm going to be using this as a Hornet cockpit for DCS too.
I've been following your build closely and I like the way you are constantly iterating and innovating! I dream of finding a place to build something similar in my own house someday!
Buy a storage building and built it out in there and add a small split unit for heat and air. Much easier then telling the wife your using an entire room in the house 😂
Noice! I think you should shutdown that permanently mounted middle-display under the touchscreen, atleast on video it seems to show some extra light bleed.
Thanks! If you'll end starting a project some day, I have my 3D model available, that I used to build mine, here: www.undeadparrot.com/simpit-3d-model-star-citizen-dcs/
your setup is one of my favorites for star citizen. but a recommendation for the monitor underneath the touch screen is to maybe put some statuses on the sides if that makes sense. maybe like shield health and other things on the right side of the larger monitor. just an idea to get some more use out of it! great video btw
Been following your channel for months and I have watched and liked them. Left a few comments here and there. Love your setups and iterative approach to 'perfecting' it. Have twin four year old girls who watch your videos with me and love to watch me gaming, too. Hehe I am in the planning stages for my own simpit/work setup. (And two simpler smaller simpits for them, when the twinlings get older and want to play). Hoping I win this, as I would love to be able to add that small touchscreen to my current (and future setup). In response to your feedback request, my own plans involve measuring both of my arm's reach and building everything based on those two inner hemispheres - so I can work everything without having to lean forward. Not sure if everything is arranged that way or not in your current setup. Thanks for the great content and keep being awesome!
Excellent setup. Have you ever considered a cover or top that you could close over you (similar to closing the Gladius hatch). It would eliminate outside distractions and could completely immerse you?
Your cockpit looks marvellous, and very functional. It would be great if gameglass could run scripts as i use voice attack to change button images for the power triangle in another program i use on my ipad, it would be great to be able to do that in GG and it would look sweet on your new tablet. Very well done, cant wait for your next video.
Nice setup. May be late for the giveaway but that is ok. Thanks for the ideas on using the GG app in a very complete setup. Be a long time for me to have something like yours but the GG app is great for simplifying access to needed bindings.
I really love your videos and i think you have a absolute dream setup! I used game glass for a while now but my tablet has broken a past month ago and I don't wan't to pay $100+ to buy a new one only for a app, so I hope I can find any cheap alternative. An I think the touch screen is a awesome idea!
Have you installed/considered a rumble pad for the chair for extra immersion? Like a Crowson Tactile Motion Actuator, I believe they work on the same freq as the sub
Yeah, I've had few month break from trying to learn DCS recently. Just not enought time. But I have Winwing F-18 hotas waiting (picked it up 2nd hand) so I think I have a video of setting it up coming during this summer. Just need to figure out how to make changing the joystick easier.
I like the large display, but the small one at the bottom seems a little superfluous and hard to get to quickly while flying, especially with the size of that display.
Could you post links in your description of some of the more interesting materials and things you used like the carbon fibre tape :) , to answer your question - yes you are completely insane. But we like insane.
This looks incredible but that 15.6" tablet, is that a Fire tablet as well? How is the performance? I've tried gameglass with 8th gen Ipads but that was incredibly slow. What im running now is basicly monstertech mounts with Streamdecks, but i would consider switching to gameglass if the response times were fast. Especially in PvP and using the power triangle, it needs to be fast response.
That's actually a basic PC touch screen, connected to another PC (I use it for OBS etc) and using it through browser. Not sure about the response times. I'd never bind anything I need in combat to anything else than my joystics. E.g. Power triangle is below my right hand thumb castle switch.
Your design and implementation is very inspiring! Too bad I missed the giveaway, but still appreciate you going through all of this for everyone to follow... I have been thinking about my own build for several years now. Now I am eager to get back to it and start working on it. Thank you very much! Would be interesting to also see how you handle ventilation for all of the electronics. I was thinking of creating a "silent wind tunnel" to pump air to the computers and throughout the storage. My current rig heats up my room badly and much worse with multiple systems. Also, how do you handle all of the extended wiring (e.g., USB)? I've found that there can be issues with running extension cables and external hubs. Last thing is how do you have all three monitors running without having the "stretch" issues on the sides? I have three of the Samsung Odyssey G7 32" monitors and struggle with having all three running at once. Just found your channel today and have already watched a half a dozen videos. Any chance you could go over your shop setup and tools as well? I love your modular chop saw workbench and curious what are your other tools, 3D printer, Laser Engraver, and so on.
Thanks, really glad to hear. Here's few answers to your questions: - My ventilation is quite bad. I just installed an extra air intake, might help a bit. The room ends up being quite warm so it's something I'll need to work with. - For the wiring, I try to do my best to make it organized, and fail miserably. :D I have few routes for them to go through so it's not visible. And label everything. - The stretching depends on the game. DCS and Flight Simulator support multi display setups well, Star Citizen doesn't and there I have bad distortions. - I could do an overview of my workshop at some point. There's nothing special though, basic woodworking tools you'd find from DIYer, 3D printer and a laser engraver. One thing I've learned to love though is my track saw.
