You're absolutely right, the monitor is my main upgrade that's pending. The sim rig can hold three, I just need to get them 👍

Holy shit. This is amazing! What are those IR thingies under the main screen? Headtracking?
ralphmelish
Yeah thats a Tobii eye tracker 5 i use it to have a hands free way of looking left and right. It's setup so that anytime I turn my head slightly more than to the edges of the dashboard the view flips left or right so I can check for traffic and icing.
hackller
nice. have you got something that bumps the seat if you do a hard landing?
ralphmelish
Nope, this is completely without movement tech.

Can you fly a real plane?
ralphmelish
I tried to fly a 737 in a training grade simulator. I could start, fly and land. But no I'm not certified 😅

Like you really ever finish a home cockpit setup.
ralphmelish
Never!
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
So can I have like $20?
ralphmelish
You could get a single part for about that 😅
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
I know how much these setups cost, don't be stingy with that $20. Lol.
ralphmelish
Shipping might be the biggest issue to be honest
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
Shipping? Pfft. You can just send it via PayPal or Zelle.

I would be curious as to the total cost for this setup. Very envious.

Seat 390€, Base Simrig Frame 490€, G1000 screens 2x200€, Touchscreen 100€, G1000 kits 2x200€, GMA350 100€ (used), MD302 (DIY, based on a raspberry pi, around 60€), 3D prints, about 3kg of filament including some misprints ~100€, Electronics and wiring ~250€. So about 2.5k€ hit or miss. Excluding main monitor and gaming PC.

I missed the stick and rudder pedals. Those are both by Virgil, so made by virgins in eastern Europe I assume. Around 1k€ extra for both I guess.
