A lot has changed and been updated since my last flight simulation cockpit overview. In this video, I’ll go through all the recent upgrades and some of the mistakes I’ve made along the way. As well as some tips for building your own at the end of the video.
If you have any questions about my DCS or Microsoft Flight Simulator setup, leave it in the comments section. Also, if you have any recommendations for upgrades or are looking at it think this is just wrong. Call me out! I’m all ears and I love learning and improving.

@Spelljammer1 7 месяцев назад

Great setup. Also kind of interesting how the HOTAS part of it is the weakest link: the Warthog joystick base is by now highly surpassed by so many alternatives, it really is kind of in the same league as your rudder pedals by this point. Those are the weak links. But if you really like the feel of the Warthog grip in your hands, just plonk it onto a Virpil base, or VKB with an adapter, or RealSim if you want to specialise it for DCS.

@g-locmedia 7 месяцев назад

I don’t think it’s in the same league as the rudder pedals as they are very entry level but yea there are now some very good options out there.

@karnyvekz 4 месяца назад

I fully agree to this. Honestly, I think the Warthog is a disappoint. Only the metal grip makes it okay. It is so clunky and inaccurate in my opinion. I would also recommend the VKB base. Virpil probably as well, but no personal opinion. On such a great set, I'd almost say you deserve a better stick solution.

@MrScott_e 8 месяцев назад

Nice rig! I, too, have the Brunner yoke and would not fly without it. Best ever flight sim yoke. I also have the Brunner Peddles and strongly recommend them for your rig. There’s nothing like feeling the wheels of your plane on take offs and landings. Ground handling is second to none.

Looks epic! You could mount some air tubes with twist nozzles above for room cooling. Maybe add a call button light for beverage service on those 4+ hour flights! I use the VKB T-Rudder MKIV pedals and love them. All steel construction so they're super robust and don't slide around. They're the best piece of hardware in my rig. Half the price of the TPR pedals, only downside is you can't do toe braking.

@g-locmedia 5 месяцев назад

@Blxz 4 месяца назад

@MikeInExile 9 месяцев назад

I have the Thrustmeter TPR pedals, and if they're within your budget, wouldn't recommend anything else! The pivot point is at the _top,_ so they more closely mimic the operation of most real-world aircraft, and they just plain feel better than the sliding pedals or pantograph style pedals. Beyond that, the spring tension is easily adjustable as is the brake pedal angle. There's also a mod available which adds hydraulic damping if you're so inclined. The downside? 1) Obviously the price. 2) I use the TPR on a carpeted floor and found that they slide around all over the place. I _totally_ solved it though by attaching a couple of carpet spikes to the bottom of the mounting plate and now they don't slide _anywhere!_ If you want to move or reposition them, you _literally_ have to pick them up and then put them back down in the new location! 3) If you have a nice hardwood floor, you're on your own I guess... 🙂

@zackeryhardy9504 8 месяцев назад

@@g-locmedia I have the thrustmaster pendular ruder pedals and they are of good quality and work well. But they have the same issue as every other set of rudder pedals I have used which is that they just don't represent what a real plane is like. For the exact same price I have found that the redbird flight pedals are actually a lot better. Better build quality and they are designed for FAA certified simulators. And they are the exact same price. Now if you want to go more for the budget set. By far the best bang for your buck is the vkb rudder pedals. They do not have toe breaks, but to be honest I didn't really miss them that much. I did think it would be an issue, but it wasn't as big as I would have throught. Though that being said, I would consider that to be the budget option for those looking for a good set. The logitec and the cheaper thrustmaster pedals are just not good at all. Especially when considering the price of the VKB. But obviously the redbird pedals and the brunner are the 2 kings when it comes to the best of the best.

Definitely worth the small added expense and well made. Also just swapped in the new optional "combat" pedals from the big stock ones (Messerschmidt?) and find them better for me. Love MFG products, also have his extension tube for the Warthog joystick for longer throw, more precision and reduced effort.

@johnl9099 3 месяца назад

Just bought a pair of MFG Cross winds with the optional damper - as a real life private pilot, it’s the closest feeling I’ve had to using real pedals. This is especially true when flying as the force to move the pedals require quite a bit of force to get the full range - but will smoothly return to center instead of snapping back to center like other spring peddles which causes instability with fine rudder inputs. The silky movements are second to none and you won’t find a better set of pedals at its price point.

At first I thought it was a real cockpit or something that Boeing would have to train their pilots, had numerous switches above him, and all over - it looked like an Airliner. Your flight SIM Rig is also awesome what you have put into the hardware and actual layout of what a cockpit should look like. It is amazing how far you guys can go to make a 50 dollar Flight SIM game and turn it into a living, breathing, flight experience. Again, great job with your flight SIM Rig and enjoy many hours flying. You guys make my simple Thrustmaster flight controls hardware and one display look too unrealistic. LOL!!!!!

Your system is running smooth as glass on 3x 4K screens and I can't get my 3x 1080P 165Hz panels even close.

@@g-locmedia No, I'm using TAA with a Mix of ULTRA (mostly) and HIGH (shadows and water). No Motion Blur, Bloom, DOF or Lens Flare. I haven't looked at all of your library, if you don't have a video covering your settings there may be a number of interested people who would enjoy a video on your current settings.

Love it! Although with the amount of equipment here I would have no time to play from working to pay for everything and the electric bill lol. By the way definitely check out IL2: Sturmovik if you have only played DCS. It has insane damage modeling, for instance I have had pieces of enemy control surfaces come back and damage my propeller lol

@TheProsirius 6 месяцев назад

Such an amazing Setup. As you know probably already, the Milan Flight Gear Paddels are on top. MFG Crosswinds V3 Highly erconomic adjustable, very Accurat with High resolution HAL Sensors, made by a Simflighter who runs a Furniture company, and who wanted to build some better Quality Paddels then are out there for himself at the beginning. Made out of composit Material and aluminium, with 17 Barrel Rings. I can recommend those a lot. They are even better then the TM Pentalons or Virpils, also they are fair priced. Thank you for showing us your amazing Rig Kudos and Abo

@benslade5888 7 месяцев назад

Nice setup, i was considering triple screens but went down the VR root and even with my 3080 havent looked back, granted getting MSFS to look as good in VR isn't possible but still takes my breath away. I then started upgrading my kit to WarBRD-D with HC yoke and TPR rudders and a bespoke collective so can now fly helis, jets and GA and superbhappy with the joke/stick and rudders. To top it off I mounted everything to a Dof H3 motion rig with an HF8 haptic pad and thought that was aviation heaven, till i seen your brunner yoke, maybe one next year😂

@benslade5888 7 месяцев назад

P.s. the TPRs are great but heavy and expensive, I went with them as they have toe brakes as I fly a range of airframes

@g-locmedia 7 месяцев назад

How’s the Dof?

@benslade5888 7 месяцев назад

Definatley adds a major level of immersion and along with a haptic pad, makes the airframe feel alive. All thats missing is the controller feedback, but not sure the DoF rigs would take a FFB yoke/stick and rudders as they need to be well balanced to get full motion\feedback, but aside from that for the price of a mid range PC Id say worth it@@g-locmedia

I bought the pad with only electric motors inside,which were ok but adding the air bladders gives a whole new feeling in the sim . There is no air supply and you could fit the pad to your seat . By the way the pendulum thrustmaster pedals are Fantastic,I’ve been in aviation for 43 years as an engineer and pilot and can say they are the best 👍 Cheers Dave from Cupar

@@g-locmedia When I was in the Airforce at Raf Lossiemouth,I had a go in the real Jaguar simulator. On take off the ejection seat inflated into my back giving the sensation that I was getting pushed into the seat . I thought it was fantastic . Using air bladders is not my idea although I think I’ve made it easier to make and condense . When you take off you get the rumble from the runway in the g pad with the electric motors but when you pull back the airbladders under each upper leg inflates giving the sensation your being pushed into the seat pan in the climb ,then when you level off the pressure is realised ,same idea with the bladders behind your back all getting the cues from the sim for surge and heave etc
