Change the way you fly! | FlightSimBuilder G1000 | First look and easy set up | PFD & MFD tested 

Very jealous; I hope to try these one day.

@@Huddison , hey great to see you here! I'm a great fan of yours too! Both Mark and you are legends, whom I follow avidly.

Thank you Mark for reviewing this product. As always, you have been able to explain all the details and highlight all the potential of the product with a language that even a child understands. You were so good that you convinced me to place the order. I ordered 2 panels plus the central audio panel with its metal supports, in short, the complete kit. The order total plus UPS shipping to Germany was $1,613.36 which is approximately €1,460 or £1,276 at the exchange rate. To this sum I will have to add the VAT which in Germany is equal to 19% and perhaps other customs taxes.. I am an ATPL student and flying hours cost a lot. I currently fly the DA-40NG which is instrumented with the G1000. Soon I will start the IFR flight lessons and I will have to know how to use the G1000 very well. In fact, if the instructor judges a flight mission in a negative way, I will have to repeat the flight lesson (we are talking about €500 per hour..) It is self-evident that having invested this sum in this hardware will certainly lead me to save a lot of money, since learning all the functions of the G1000 is not quick and easy. The possibility of being able to interact with the simulator with this hardware, instead of just using the mouse and keyboard, is priceless. And let's be honest, when we invest in hardware peripherals for our PCs to use with our simulators, these are the components that we very rarely replace. For example 11 years ago I bought my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog and it's still here with me, still running like an original Swiss watch. Thanks again Mark, bye and see you next video!

@@Denis076 best of luck with your training 👍

@@SimHangerFS Thanks a lot Mark 😊

Compared to other alternatives these are incredibly cheap

THANK YOU SO MUCH i had no idea there was something like Knobster... this is exactly what i need for flying vr

Agreed, we are getting very close to full functionality 👍

Spacedesk is excellent for the G5000 in the Longitude

The screen is the cheapest part. The discount would be minimal

😂

Love the acronym ✈🛩

….ahhhh yes, getting the partner to understand priorities…the eternal problem 🤣

🤣🤣@@SimHangerFS

Yes

Yes, I’m also considering an under-desk mount for my Alpha & Bravo.

@@SimHangerFS mine is mounted above the desk. It is covered with a standup desktop computer lift. Place the yoke and throttle under the keyboard section and lower the lift to the top of the yoke. I use the Alpha yoke and throttle. I then place the dual G1000s where the keyboard would go, and the monitor set to just above the G1000s. It is the perfect convertible desktop simulator. Bonus- If you mount your rudder peddles on a Drive Pro Stand, you can have your fighter throttle and stick up and usable in seconds by just folding them up or down and out of the way when you want a change of control system. I do this for VR. Works great. They also make a keyboard desk attachment that swings out of the way. I put my keyboard on it, and mouse on the open mount platform for the drive stand. It provides a mouse pad right in front of the Alpha yoke. Everything can be moved out of the way in seconds to make the room into a standing VR entertainment room. With a circular mat so you know where you are standing in VR.

@@SimHangerFS The Thrust Master rudders are still the best on the market because dirt doesn’t fall into the sliding mechanisms of all the others. (I have tried them all) Drive Stand makes the best convertible flight control mounting system. You can remove controls and fold the posts down, then slide the rudders forward to use the Alpha yoke and throttles. I have a seven channel USB port for the G1000s and controllers. It is mounted next to the monitor lift for easy exchange of controllers. All of this is on a cheep IKEA basic white table that can hardly be seen with everything mounted to it. I don’t want a single type cockpit set up because I fly so many different planes and helicopters. This lets me change quickly if I get board with a type of aircraft, civil, military, helicopter… DCS, MSFS, X-Plane, etc…

Fair enough.

Check out the Simionic G1000

@@gorillaglue1302 I've seen it. Wonder if a combo of FlightSimBuilder with Air Manager would work.

Yes you definately can, note the resolution however, but good enough for gauges.

Nothing planned at this time.

I agree, I use VF g100 bought before switching to vr, you quickly get use to finding the switches. Wince at how much it cost but still use with screens turned off. A cheaper bevel only option would be popular, perhaps g3000 also?

I just recently purchased the GNS 530 and it hasn't taken me long to get used to locating the buttons and knobs in VR. I'm so glad I bought it as it makes things so much better, especially for Vatsim flights.

I can’t comment on other brands as I don’t have hands on experience with them. For the price FSB offers good functionality at a reasonable cost.

@Tony F, my thoughts exactly! Sigh!

$1000 each… more for people using them to learn the systems. They really do help

Sorry never tried that one.

No you don’t 👍 it is configured to control it, with or without display.

Thank you 😊

@@SimHangerFS no problem at all! I'll certainly watch more in the future.

Not suitable for airliners as they don’t have G1000 units on board. Mostly found in GA aircraft.

@@SimHangerFS Thank you for your answer. A quick question, what would you recommend for a beginner VR user, Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Pack or Turtle Beach VelocityOne with rudders?

@@Fieskmask to be honest, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo…👀

@@SimHangerFS Wow, is that so? I might take a look at the reviews of it then. Thank you for your input 😉

Feels great!

No and I don’t think they are compatible.

Depends how you mount your monitor. In my current setup my monitor is on a gas arm so I can raise and lower it as needed.

The 4090 can only support 4 monitors

Sure, subject to the variety of aircraft you fly, it’s a matter of authenticity and personal preference 👍

Mmm….not sure how you worked that out……RSG individual panel = 999 compared to FSB = 1034

Mmm…Not sure about that…..SimBuilder: PFD + MFD screens + audio = 2514. RSG: same combination = 2199 (formerly 2486)…….competition cheaper……

You can use them together. Check keyboard connection / compatibility

My same question.

Mine too, I was wondering if this is the sort of thing the WASM update would finally allow?

Sorry not at this stage. Hopefully continued development of WASM will change that, but nothing firm at this point.

It never will. XBox does not support multiple monitors.

@@caskraker very valid point….I stand corrected…👍

😂

No unfortunately not compatible

Unfortunately not

Thanks to your link and Mark's excellent review I ordered the G1000 suite yesterday. By the time I costed the Simionic option with two new 10.2" iPads etc... the FlightSimBuilder setup actually was a few $Aud cheaper including shipping to Australia. Thank you Mark and @dhop55.

Unfortunately not

Roughly 21cm x 16cm

Thanks

Have a G2, had an Oculus CV1 and have to disagree, VR totally breaks immersion, its development is as stagnant as 3D TV. Until they redesign that ridiculous VR headset into something ''Google Glass'', its always going to be niche and nasty.

@@davewills6121 Sorry you can't afford the ridiculous hardware required to run it well. Keep Saving.

@@Wilem35 VR in flight/space sims is retarded, you know 1st hand im sure. Chuck

Flight simming is an expensive hobby 😑

Thanks guys !
