This video is the beginning of my updated back to basic series. If you are thinking about building a home cockpit for X-Plane SimVimX is hands down the easiest, fastest way to get it done. I go over what is SimVimX, how the system works, and how to install it to get it working.
Sorry about the annoying alarm during the flashing part of the video.

Good morning, that's great news. I'm glad you got it working also glad I could help. 😀

wanted to thank you again for all of your great work. Ive built a nav module, using simvim but have decided to swap to mobiflight in the future - concerned about long term viability of the product and dont want to be in an unsupported mode 2 years from now. Have you ever considered doing videos on how to build panels using fusion and cnc - thats my next hill to climb. Again great job with the videos!

Hi Tony, thank you for your comment. I don't worry about SimVimX going away. They've been working on this project since 2011. I just hope that if they do decide to stop working on it they would leave the website up so that people can still do configurations since we don't have a standalone program. As far as your question, no I don't even know how to use Fusion and I don't have a CNC so I definitely would not be able to do that. I hope some day to get at least a 3D printer.

I considered Simvim, but ended up with Mobiflight..they are very similar, i just think the support at MF its superior

@Qosmokid Месяц назад

Yes they do have very good support and the creator makes tons of videos too. I've only researched it for the comparison video I posted a few years ago. Just watching some of the videos it seems a lot more complicated to configure. It does have it's multi simulator advantage though. Maybe soon I will give an honest shot and discover it's not as complicated as I think it is.

These guys at Simvim are keep changing the entire process. You go to their website just to find everything has been reshuffled. Other problem with Simvim, is they put too much irrelevant information and it looks like ton of cluster F. There is no clear information about how things work. You have to keep trying to make something work. They built the site and left it for you to "Go figure". It is sad that without your videos their website is as useless as ashtray on motorbike.

🤣 yikes, those are some pretty harsh words. I appreciate that you find my videos useful. I actually think their website and instructions are very good. They separate all the wiring technical stuff by component. You are right though about the assignments and conversions. They try to make it as clear as possible but I did have to figure out some of it on my own 😁 As far as changing everything, I know they are trying to make it as good as possible and I understand that. They also do mention that it is in active development and it can change as any time. 🤣
