Let's build the World's Smallest Flight Sim! Part 1 of 4
I've always wanted a flight simulator, but they take up a fair bit of space... So, I decided to make a small one, a really small one.
It was a fantastic and fun challenge, and even filming it was tricky, as it's so weeny that getting the camera to stay in the right place (and to hold focus while looking straight at screens or bright lights) was a right pickle.
The build is a combination of kitbashing, styrene construction, two Adafruit Trinkets, an Arduino Micro, a bazillion buttons and lights and of course the screens: A flexible main 6 inch OLED display at 1080p, and an extremely cool (but actually runs super hot) little 0.7 inch OLED, incredibly, also at 1080p. The sim software is DCS World, and the plane is the free SU-27T (also rather cutely known as the Frogfoot). The programming was done in Arduino IDE, as well as a bit of poking around in DCS World to configure everything.
And yes, it actually works, all of it. Each of the buttons does what they're supposed to do, and the controls really do fly the plane in realtime. It's somewhat vexing to do so with only one pair of hands sometimes 🤪 but it's totally possible with practice.
Any questions please bung them in the comments. I'll try my best to answer them 🙂🎩
You'll notice that Moglet turns up from time to time to see what's going on. He's a jolly little pencil.

Fantastic, really enjoyed your attention to detail and entertaining, informative narration....Bravo!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What? This has only 1,690 views? How can that be! It's amazing already without the electronics!
Welcome to the depths of CZcams, glad to have been found! 🙂🎩
You don't do things by half! Amazing project! Can't wait for the next video
Thank you! 🎩
Outstanding.
Thank you sir 🎩
I'm now such a big fan! Watching through all your videos now ;) Are you an electrical engineer by chance? Just curious.
Thank you! I'm just a tinkerer who likes tiny things that light up when I press a button (or lots of buttons) 🤪🎩
You are so AMAZING! I can't wait for the next video! Keep up the AMAZING & AWESOME work! I love the narratives that you do.💛💙💜
Thank you! This project is now finished. In case you didn't see them, the playlist for the other video's in the series is here: czcams.com/play/PLQ3qw-EL7GY9dzauY0J9NqQJcl1FMUPJe.html
More projects are underway! 🙂🎩
I hope you have as much fun making the speak as I have listening to it?
7:51 :D
