Here are my setup files. You may have to edit the coordinates in the monitorconfig lua files for your own display setup. Because of the issue I've mentioned, you have to run the PLT file(UWide+4MFCDs_v1.3.lua) and CPG file(UWide+4MFCDs_v1.3_CPG.lua) separately for now.

I think the description says enough about my setup, but If you have any additional questions about the lua export and multimonitor configurations, post them under this comment please!
(Tech questions only, off topic could be removed)
what are those lights on the hotas stick ???? oO
@@BenProg It's FSSB base + F16 grip status indicator. Check the Realsimulator homepage
What gear do you need to fly
@@simonbellamy67 Wings and an engine
@@horus_simgadgets Best comment ever hahahaha
As a retired Longbow pilot I just wanted to compliment you on your setup. It looks fantastic. Sure, there’s some discrepancies between your rig and the actual aircraft cockpit, but you have done a phenomenal job replicating it without spending $35 plus million and I’m sure it serves your purpose well. Safe skies and keep the greasy side down.
Thanks for the comment sir!
Thank you for your service sir .!
The contrast between the soldier's gloves and the blue Bermuda shorts is incredible :P
So tacticool, isn't it? 🤣
@@horus_simgadgets That's the word !
Standard issue..Pajamas for ECWS..(when it gets chilly, extreme cold weather system)
@@horus_simgadgets earned a sub for that
The understated Hangar Pilot look
I can't even begin to fathom the amount of work that must have gone into making this. Absolutely insane.
I used to work for a company that makes Apache simulators for the US Army. This is pretty damn cool and looks awesome. Good job.
Thank you sir!
The way you use the extra screen space around the Cougars to display how you've mapped the buttons is creative genius. Nice job.
You got the point 😎
This is hands down one of the most amazing Home kit I have ever seen. WOW.
I like this guy’s approach:
Business up top, party downstairs.
You make me laugh. Good job 👍
Man, as much as I love VR I think a sim pit would just be a totally different experience, feeling out actual buttons and such. I don’t think I’ve seen a bad one, but this looks like it was a labor of love for sure!
Huge props on this cockpit. Love the Stream Deck idea always forget that one. Hope to see your additions and improvements in the future!
Thanks, my next step would be the TEDAC controller 😁
As usual, your kit is incredible.
Glad you did this. Flying 64s in the Guard and trying to come up with a good training pa mage I can use at home. I think you’ve solved that problem for me, thank you. I’m looking for a different cyclic that can do the HOLD MODES and the Weapon Action Select. (WAS). I don’t care for gloves myself but I’ve seen guys wear those exact gloves. Thanks again
Yeah apparently he's seen them worn too 😆
The gear stick is my favourite. In all seriousness, this is mega impressive. Well done!!
I've uploaded my setup files for the Apache displays export.
Check the description!
sir! I have downloaded your files, i am going to try it and if that works. it's kinda confusing but I will do my best. thank you very much
I'll try them.. thanks again, you are a credit to this community.
All this time I've been trying to think of a way to mount an MFD, and my wheel hub is just staring me in the face...thanks for making me see the obvious! Great looking pit you've got going.
Glad I could help!
Your modular setup is just brilliant. I might have to steal some of your design ideas. When we get a bigger house I want to build a modular pit for DCS. I'm running on a 43" 4k monitor, really helps immersion.
If you play driving games too, the modular setup will help you to save some space! 👍
This setup brings tears to my eyes. This is outstanding.
I could never get away from VR again, but looks cool!
Was quiet surprised you don't use a collective and you have a side stick config (without extension I guess)
If you have the right controls and get them in the exact position, it will push your flight experience much further!
Really like the random Hydro Brake and shift knob in the background :D
Ok.... you've been put on a watch list now🧐
That is some next level stuff right there, nicely done.
Super cool setup. And it's quite flattering to see the SimPit spelling is now being used as a name for simpits :) (i don't even see the original spelling anymore). If you want to take it to the next level with visuals let me know
OMG 😲😲😲 ‼️ dude that has got to be the most badass realistic setup I have ever seen for helicopter flying simulator
Well thought out and executed sir
Simply incredible! I’m envious, in a good way. 😃
Thank you! Cheers!
Damn, Nice Setup Bro 🔥🔥🔥🤘
Fantástico, o câmbio de Celta ficou top
Very nice ! I see the RS R3L and viper stick too 👍🏻
this is honestly breathtaking!
at first i didn't like the gear stick, but then i realised it's a morphing sim pit. You can transition it for driving games too. Pretty sick idea.
This is the coolest freaking thing ever, well done!
Some Military men after their service keep parts of their rifles as keepsakes this bloke kept his cockpit lol.
On a serious note wow what a set up. Thank you for the video. 👍
Seriously impressed mate.👏👏
Turn on ceiling fan for extra immersion.
Made me chuckle xD
WOW ! - Amazing work !
Wow this takes dork to a whole other level
Man I like it when your apache simulator has stick shift and a handbrake, man imagine the thing that you could do with that set up
호루스님 영상 조회수와 댓글 인기가 대단하십니다!
you are crazy mate :-D
cool setup!
That is such a badass setup
Unbelievable.. like in a very good way 👌
What makes this so truely authentic are the worn out WileyX gloves 😁 10/10
It’s amazing!
I subscribe your channel!
Thanks
Look at your setup. And i can't even get my Thrustmaster hotas warthog setup? looks wonderful, great job.
So I'm not the only one lol their customer service is absolute trash
@@claytonbigsby1017 mines still in the post these two comments scare me
Insane setup very nice
That e-brake will come in handy while flying a sr-71
Just need to find some TEDAC handgrips! Great setup!
That's my next project 😁
nice setup
Wow BIGNEWY the moderater, nice to meet you 😆
Loving this, great home cockpit. Out of interest what are you using to display the touchscreen keyboard at the bottom. That’s looks a great solution for the comp in the Apache. Wouldn’t mind doing something similar myself
That works via helios. For now it's just keyboard outputs(I also have to map the keys in DCS to match it), I'm waiting for the full export interface for the apache.
Hi this is an amazing setup. Just one question - From Where did you get the Display Screens?
Search for '8 inch lcd monitor' on ebay or aliexpress
WOOOWWW.. This is amazing dude.. I have so many questions... Is that the Cougar MFDs w/ added touch screens?? Can this work on a "Triple Monitor" setup with the addition of these MFDs/LCDs panels? I was trying to do the same with three android 8 inch tablets; but got stuck in the process..
Only the bottom is a touch monitor. If you write the codes right, it'll work with any configuration.
Really took “DCS is expensive to get into” to a whole new level 💀
High detail on the gloves
Low (no) detail on the shorts 😂
All kidding aside. Great setup man 👌🏼
Killer gloves man!!!
Join The army. You def have a leg up on the comp.
Well I guess you don't need the second crewmen on board. You got it all set up nice and clean and economical!
A-freaking-mazing setup sir!!! great work! Do you mind sharing the actual model numbers and where you purchased both the usb lcd's and the touch?
Daaaaaaaamn! That apache got a six speed!
this is amazing!
Wow! I like that a lot! Wonderful! I also appreciate that you do it in gloves like in real! Wow! Btw from which country r u?
Nice I didn’t know Apache comes in a manual
you are next level
That is one Kick A$$ cockpit!
i am a fan!
This is impressive on so many levels 👏.
I'd like an application to wherever you work pls. 😏
Best button pusher on You Tube!
Aaaaand this is the future (if not current reality) of drones folks
That's pretty amazing--pretty surprised you're sticking with the Warthog stick--any VKB and/or Virpil sticks (I've owned all three) are way better IMHO.
I don't use a warthog anymore. The side stick is Realsimulator FSSB and F16 grip combo
Both the same. But warthog is better if you play the A10 a lot.
@@alexsp7086 I fly the A10 a ton and I prefer the Virpil CM3.
@@goodhope2111 okay in my opinion you don’t setup like that to fly a virtual aircraft
Wow.. after 1:32 seconds I would have just fired up the ps4! Lol... very nice set up!
New Subscriber #23,400 lol Me! Nice Setup!!
Great setup, quick question. How are you able to get away with with the 5 button mfds? when the Apache has 6.
As you can see in the video, the rocker switches work as 6th VABs for each lines
@@horus_simgadgets thanks so much
good cable management
I just bought a FSSB R3 to replace my VKB Gunfighter. How do you like using it for rotary over a more traditional stick?
FSSB is simply the best for me to fly rotary wings. But if you haven't touched any force sensing devices, you're gonna need to practice to get used to it
hi, I can't find the profile for AH64D to configure, could you help, thank you
I’m going to show this to my wife when she says I’m getting out of hand
Biggest issue here is you aren't screaming "I AM THE GREATEST!" :)
Your gloves are pretty huge and thick for the fine buttons / touch pads you have. Might I suggest a glove that has more fine control like a they use in American Football. I've used them in theater rigging and rope-work and they are brilliant.
;DDDD cant do without the glows! ;DDD
Love how you wear the gloves, in this simpit, while wearing shorts, lmao. Good work in the pit though.
hi! i really like your setup ! but i have a question ?? I have three external MFD screens with the Trustmaster MFD buttons. I can play with the F16, FA18, F14, and with other modules.... but with the NEW AH64D when i am fully powered ON i cannot see the MFD screen ??? am i missing anything ?? could it be my .LUA file not setup for the AH64D to show external ? MFD ?
Hey, I've uploaded my setup files, download the zip file in the description and try it.
Good luck!
Wow . . That epic!
What screens do you use behind your cougar MFDs cause I'm looking to add them to my system if possible
There are gamers. Then there's this guy.
At this point its less work to just join the military
LOL and WAY cheaper!
WAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH MADE MY DAY
Pretty good and accurate so far tho also the gear shift lmao
THAT is MENTAL!! I suppose the GLOVES are linked as well??!!! ;-)
Awesome setup. Can you share the Stream Deck config if you can export the Apache profile?
That's still in progress, maybe later I will
dang man now i want to learn some sort of helicopter in dcs
How do you manage changing pedals from flight to racing sim??
Hi, check my previous flight-driving setup post, it shows how I did it
A perfect simulator.
Wtf that's crazy dude 😳 wow
Did you use a CubeSim or did you DIY a screen and mount to a Thrustmaster Cougar MFD?
Any thoughts on those $350 DCS MFD F16 single displays on Alixpress? I'd prefer an AH64D MFD / MFP , like the one from totalcontrols, but a bit too expensive considering there's no screen.
I use the latter. I haven't tried the Ali product yet
This can all be had for the low low price of $20,000 today!
Only when you have an understanding partner
Awesomeness! Where did you get the displays
You can find similar one in the ebay or aliexpress
how did u get the maps and stuff on those displays i want to do that with my second monitor?
Too long story to post here, I recommend you to google 'DCS MFD export', and check my lua files in the description too
That's sick
Orale, Gloves y todo 🤣🤙
Nice one
I wish more people would do this with car cockpits instead of actually driving.
