      So you aren't a commercial pilot anymore? If the airlines weren't for you, why not fly for a part 135? Aviation is of course a tough industry no matter what, but you obviously have a passion for it, so just curious. I live in a Alaska and if you love flying, this place is pretty awesome. I see the shoe collection though, so maybe the rural lifestyle doesn't seem cool to you, but I hope you let your mind explore the idea. You only have one life to live and this place is a glorious place to fly and there are a bunch of part 135's up here. Or if you have a better paying gig with less stress, then perhaps you can still do that up here and use that money to buy an actual airplane... Either way, I dig your priorities. That's a cool setup. The part 135's that I have worked with (I'm an IT guy) would love to have a setup like this for their pilots' office, although they are cheap wads usually and want only enough to simulate the landscape and approach when doing a charter to a destination for the first time.

      I'm very impressed. Frankly I didn't know you could do this without buying a full set of hardware. As a pilot, SEL and instrument, I used to fly into unfamiliar airports using MS Flight to orient me to the runway directions etc. I fly mostly a G1000 172. It worked great and gave me more confidence flying into a new to me airport. I think you have a great setup. Have you tried it with MSFS 2020 yet?

    As for the folks that are raggin' on you about the PC costs, don't worry about it! You specifically said you wanted to support the PC builder's business. Some people are envious of this build and the comments that undermine what you've done here serves as a way to convince those people they still have some kind of upper hand. The same folks that can build a PC for less probably can't do the PVC and woodworking you've done here. You worked with what you knew and what you had, and you ended up with a beautiful sim.
    All-in-all, this is a great build! ...And for $7k, that's definitely worth the price! I would guess that's only about 30 hours of renting in LA 😂!

    You have given me some great ideas to enhance the experience. Most of my time is spent in a 172 or 152.

      Cars unlike planes are muscle memory based ( getting used to clutch, shifting, wheel "sensitivity" ).
      I haven't played a Racing Sim with a proper steering wheel and shifter ( only with keyboard and mouse ) but in general it's pretty similar except that Racing Sim's such as Assetto Corsa sucks at clutch mechanics. But overall i think IRL it's easier just because of much superior spatial awareness ( maybe when playing with decent VR it's on par ) , better engine sound cues and physcially feeling the car. But in terms of actually operating the car i think it's nearly identical.

    That is seriously impressive and if you've got spare space in the house, definitely go for it if it's something you're really keen on. The fact you're a certified pilot explains a lot - flying must be a passion with you. There are a large number of hobbies costing far in excess of this. I played guitar in a busy local dance/function band for many years and the cost of the gear was...a lot more.
    I wonder, though, if you'd be interested checking out that incoming Reverb G2 VR unit - MRTV's 'through the lens' videos show it to be seriously impressive compared to the competition, giving you a significant boost in immersion.

    That is a dream setup for me. I just ordered the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo. Going to start with that an MSFS and see how it goes. I grew up with a pilot dad. I spent lots of time flying with him in planes and especially helicopters. I always wanted to get licensed but life has a way of changing you plans. Most of my kids are now old enough to do there own thing (got twins still at home but not for all that much longer) but I still want to fly again. So Flight sim is my way of learning without spending a ton. I think it will help when I go to take the training. Thanks for the inspiration. One day I expect my system to be that good. Hopefully....

    Great video! Thanks for sharing :)
    You have 1 monitor behind your dash and I have four mini panels (monitors) behind mine. JUST so I could put the yoke shaft where it's between the gauges. Haha, talk about a price difference and major increase in time for the build, and start up and getting everything set for the "nights delights" (each time). If I did it again I would do just the one monitor. I did a 744 back in 2002'ish with Project Magenta software. Did it all for $11k, but without coming close to completing the very pricey overhead. Back then you didn't have many people stupid enough,,, I mean "Driven" to do such a thing. The cards were far from plug and play and you spent months learning epic programming (and by that I mean learning how to copy and paste someone else's code) just to get a switch to work. There was no FSUIPC, LUA scripts or anything. It was 100% epic programming to very unfriendly computers that were barely getting USB drivers working and the only choice in panels was FlightDeckSolutions (insanely costly back then).
    Sooooooo gald we live in the age we are in now. So much easier and SOOOOOO much cheaper, yet still not for the faint of heart (and by that I mean wallet).
    The Buttkicker was the first real immersion giver I bought. Great to have that for takeoffs and landings. Such a major part of the experience.
    I'm doing a C172/C182RG at the moment. It was 7k without monitors. My PC on the other hand I just rebuilt and it alone is another 7k. I will have a video on that in a week or two. My pit will be getting hydraulics in a year or two. Major factor is we're lucky to where it's getting cheaper and less house destructive to do, but the weight that it supports, even for C152 needs to be at least 400lbs. They're only at 250lbs for my price range (2k).
    VR however is my number one immersion gem. I'm awaiting my HP Reverb G2 (the first only VR headset that will work with FS20). I still want a pit though so I can lose the mouse and reach out and touch the knobs, pots and controls. I only fire up the screens for company since getting each screen set with Air Manager can be time consuming with my particular setup.

      This is going to sound crazy, but if you get motion sick (as I tend to do), you may want to make sure that you don't get motion sick in a sim before sinking a bunch of cash. I have been in a driving sim that we use for rehab, and I get more motion sick in that than a real car because of the discrepancy between the information presented to your brain from your eyes versus your inner ear. In other words, your eyes tell you you're moving, but your inner ear says you're not. Same with virtual reality rides like they have at Universal Studios.

We landed in Tokyo once and right as we were about to land, I can only guess that we must have had some bad crosswinds or something because the whole airplane shook like a soda bottle. I got sick almost instantly, and by the time I got through the airport and on the next flight, as soon as the seatbelt sign went off I got sick. hahaha There's more to that story also hahaha I'll spare you the details but it's hilarious.
