Create Your Own Airplane Cockpit Simulator At Home 

The cinematography on this movie is so good I drop a tear in my eyes

Hope some airlines make him a pilot. Its not about your education... Its about the passion. Scoring straight A's doesn't make you a better pilot? Let this guy have some training with an airline. If he is good, SIGN HIM UP! hahah

Flying is my passion, I am 16, a junior in high school, and I have a plan that will get me to become a commercial pilot. I am going to go to ATP flight school, right after getting my bachelor's degree in college, I am going to do whatever I have to do to make my dream come true!

I wish that something like this was available back when I started to fly in 1972. It would have made going to flight school in Jacksonville a lot easier. To have a little knowledge and experience, even though it was on homemade equipment, I am sure it would have been most helpful. I didn't fly jets until 1980 when I joined United, but flying is flying. The principles involved in the logistics part are the same.

OH YES I WANT IT! * looks at pocket * damn it

U deserve to be a pilot

I want this dad!

I wanna build a tractor so I can play farm sim

Brilliant stuff, although for all the money involved you could probably afford to get a good airplane and get your private pilot's license to fly it for real. Of course, in the simulator you never have to buy fuel, pay flight insurance, or get all the medical exams, and you can fly whatever you want, wherever you want, in all kinds of weather, and if you crash, you just re-set the simulation and try again.

Somebody once said "Make your life a dream." I took a dream and I made my life.

I built a sim cockpit for DCS, it dominated my small living room! Definitely not “normal”...but who wants to be normal?! I want to be ME! I love this kind of flying! 💕👍🏼

I am working on a cockpit right now, we share the same pasion

Fantastic.!!

I had lower grades in school, but as I got older realizes that I need to put real serious efforts to achieve anything I want in life - fixed my mindset and now always have higher grades, highly educated, mentor and fit woman. Now, I am a pilot myself and professional business woman, I want to have my own jet Simulator as well, I will do in a few years. Achievement gives satisfaction, when we take an action put lots of efforts, we get successes. When I see success stories, I feel happy for them and get the emotional same time. Thanks for sharing your story, I am very happy for you. Deepika, USA.

Me: Cool, I want to build one *Look at my Wallet* Also Me: Never mind !

MAGNIFICO!!!!!! OJALA SUS HIJOS LLEGUEN A SER PILOTOS!!!! SE MERECE ESA ALEGRÍA!!!!

He's a great father!. One day when they ride on a plane, when trouble come like the pilot had a major issue, they can substitute

La plus belle vidéo que j'ai jamais vu sur ce thème ! et si jamais un de tes enfants devient pilote grâce a ta passion ce sera ta fierté de leurs avoir insufflé cette passion, oui car c'est un métier de passion! Bravo Laurent !

Dear santa...

Wonderful cockpit and the movie is just as perfect! Excellent job, congratulation!

Fantastico., nunca me canso de verlo, un abrazo Laurent.

What an amazing video! Actually, I should have said or added, What an amazing Dad. In all honesty this is one video that proves to all of us Simmers...You too can achieve what perhaps looked like an impossible task, and build an authentic cockpit for ones personal enjoyment at home. Yes, it takes money; however, in the beginning it takes a Dream. Cheers all. Merci beaucoup pour la video, Monsieur. Vents équitables

IMPRESIONANTE............

Really nice my freind. So inspiring. Love the way you cut the video as well. Thanks a lot, and well keep on doing what you do... Cheers, and hope you checked out my cockpit videos as well.. HAve a nice Sunday my friend and happy landings.

Me: I'm gonna follow my passion and do this! (looks at pocket) Me: Dad could you borrow me "some" money.

Well i guess i just watched the best short documentary ever ... It deserves awards 😁😁

Absolutely beautiful and touching story. Until you have been 'bitten by the flying bug', you have no idea.....

Mr. Congratulations.....perfect cockpit, I'm From south of Brazil, I'm Pilot Vatsim...perfect.....see you in the air...

So inspiring ! wordless video ! I just became Commercial Pilot, maybe one day in future we could do a complete LOFT session on your sim! Dreams Come True !

I don’t speak French but...non je déconne super vidéo 🤩

We share a similar path!! "Life" got in the way of my dream to be a Pilot. I am 56 & purchased Microsoft Flight simulator 2020. My simulator is waaaaay more simple. Thanks for the inspiration. You made your dream come true! Heartwarming & well made presentation sir. Très bien!!

Those kids probably have a wonderful life.

This knocks my home cockpit out the door - nice. A dream to have this

You Are Living a Dream! Many thanks for Sharing..Once you Fly a Solo as a Kid, You will always have One Eye Up In the Sky! Amazing Finish and What Dedication You Have Sir!! I will request you to show me if I am ever in France. Many Thanks from Mississauga, Toronto Canada

. Vous êtes un exemple. Bravo!!

Absolutely amazing work! I love it!

Bet the kids love it as well and that's one way to help than open their minds

Petit commentaire cocasse: La communication radio ATC à la toute fin du clip (Rouyn radio), c'est mon collègue de travail de l'époque où je faisais le même travail à ce même aéroport avec lui :-) je suis tombé par le plus pur des hasards sur votre vidéo, Le monde est drôlement fait! Bonjour du Québec!

That's huge, what a great example of commitment

Quelle belle leçon de vie ..

Such a nice guy! It's so great he made it!

Oh my word! U even got the fleece seats!

Man, you have nailed it! I also had a dream of flying, went too far, but dismissed from air force flying branch selection at last round. I also want to make a sim like this. Nice onê Flt Lt. ;) 👤 ✈

I am impressed and happy to hear that you make dreams come true!

his children will become pilots for sure

Nice story and sooooo very nice cockpit wow

Yeah, man. That guy did a GREAT job! I guess some day his kids will b proud of their super-daddy )))

"...airplanes are not tools for war. They are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful designs. Engineers turn dreams into reality."

MARAVILHOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations man!!!

Good one. Who could dislike this

i am 11 years old and I want to be a fighter plane pilot my passion for airplanes started when I was on a plane from Detroit to Texas and I was at window and I could see the wing and saw the flaps raising and lowering at the time I didn't understand it but eventually I figured it out from looking on google and looking at the the wind flowed around the wings and body now I am the 6th grade and about to learn about arodynamics👍🏽

So amazing. Inspirational to keep me going forward. Working on a 747 simulator now and building as much as I can without buying the expensive parts. There are plenty of sites on the internet to show you it can be done. Tellement incroyable. Source d'inspiration pour moi continuer à avancer. Travailler sur un simulateur 747 maintenant et le renforcement autant que possible sans avoir à acheter des pièces coûteuses. Il ya beaucoup de sites sur Internet pour vous montrer qu'il peut être fait.

Great film. Good luck!

moi je vie exactement la même chose c'est magnifique de reve que an jour on va devenir des pilotes de ligné . Moi o travail je suis toujours avec le tête dans le ciel car cette job me fascin énormément ! Je vous dit de ne pas arête de croire en vous, et de ne jamais abandonner vous reves. Et tout va finir par se réalisé ' bonne chance!

That is great, love it that you have it setup in your daughters bedroom. What I would have gave to have had a simulator in my bedroom growing up. Your kids have no clue how really great this is.....but they will.

Beautiful poetic ending

wow very well done great passion great creation

If you are virtual pilot license and u flied 4000 hours=YOU ARE %80 Real pilot

orang ini sungguh pandai berkarya smart....good

HORMAT!! It's mean SALUTE from indonesia!!!

muito bom o video parabens

Tres Bien!! Very inspiring, very impressive. Using real aeroplane parts as well programmed to the computer. Very clever!!

It looks like real plane cockpit and unbelievable

He's doing this for the LOVE of flight. An old saying in Aviation is if you're trying to fly far or fast (getting caught up in the performance numbers), you're not doing it right

Strokes of Genius, DESERVING more subs!

excellent job and great fun. live the dream.

This is simulation goals!! Well done!! Don't have the time or money myself to make one yet!

Wow man thats brilliant ! Well done!!

With epic skill and epic gear!

how many money you used to build that

good story and i love how you set it up in the kids bedroom, good work.

Félicitations !!!! Je pense en créer aussi un... bientôt

That was awesome man.Did u also update your nav data? in your homemade simulator to make it more realistic?

this guy is a role model for sure

This is wonderful job, thanks for sharing 😊👍

Nice Filming!!!

We have the same passion, that's so amazing. Good job.

Je suis passionné d'avions moi aussi et je trouve super ce que vois avez fait dans cette chambre. Un grand bravo👍

Amazing the only thing I would change is the monitors ether get slightly bigger to put into the front window or even bigger like 55'-65' so it's more immersive. This is one of my goals to make a sim cockpit but its going to house 2 types of sim'n which is flight (this includes space games) and racing.

yeah. thats´s great. I like the pictures with the simulator inside the children room! I live in switzerland here is less space! But soon I will start with my simulator. best from switzerland

respect for following your dream. from a fellow flight sim nut since a long time.

C'etait tres bien a voir votre tribut a etre pilote! La meme chose m'etait passe, mais heureusement quand j'avais deja 17 ans - et je suis devenu pilote prive. Mais, plus important, c'est la source de votre phrase, "Creer de ta vie un reve." Vous savez qui c'etait? C'etait le grand Saint-Exupery - le pilote des pilotes! Il l'a ecrit dans Vol de Nuit, je crois - "Fais de ta vie un rêve, et d'un rêve, une réalité." Felicitations a vous pour votre choix de citation. (Et je m'excuse pour mon pauvre Francais. Des American's ne savent pas des langues etrangeres.)

Fucking genius.I used to build a stool back in the day & I’m already pissed off😂

great! and motivational video! congratulations!

proud of you Buddy. signing off Falcon 126 from Malaysia

Its amazing! But why is he, the captain sitting in the right seat and the co-pilot, the older man sat in the left??

Nice job PILOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great clip, awesome simulator you got there, hats off to that!

Ah la la les francais! c'est bien les gens :)

Very very nicely done.....I am truly the same way!!!!!!.....I live for flying....:o)

Great job! Would you share the plans for your pilot's seat? Thx.

Such an inspirational video.

Genius realy Genius .. respect .. nice video

its awesome,how facinated facility it was.

Excelent job, excelent video.

Tres beau! juste a 0:12 sec c'est normal que tu sois complètement désaxé?

Reading this: "he had always wanted to be a pilot but was prevented from doing so because of poor grades in school" I had bad grades too, not too bad but I managed to get better marks. If you truly have passion for it you achieve your goals. I am on my way of becoming a pilot. You don't have to score best in math or physics. All you need is good Hand to Eye coordination, good judgement and most important motivation. Why would he spent a lot of money on this simulator when he could spend all that sum of money in becoming a pilot? He could have been flying a real plane and get paid also. Its good for him that managed to build this sim, but believe me, he could have become a pilot even though he had bad grades. For those who are on this road, don't give up, even though you don't have money, don't give up. All you need is motivation. Do researches and you'll find what I am talking about. Cheers!

Guauuuuu !!!! IMPRESIONANTE

Great work..

Beautiful video !
