I’m looking for advice on how to best build my home cockpit for a C172/GA single engine. Most of the examples I’ve been looking at have three displays with controls/instrument panel in the middle. I really want to build a mockup of a C172 cabin (at least from the seats to the windscreen) and then …

This is a great setup! Thank you for sharing and this helps me as I plan my setup.

VR only provides the visual experience. It does nothing for the control side. Having to use a mouse or VRcontroller is pants. If you want to learn or practice systems/procedures it’s pretty useless. Right now it’s just not viable. With an external visuals system and full cockpit controls like the OP…

[image] FlyerOneZero: What I don’t want is to be told that there’s only one way, and that’s VR, and everything else is inferior. Some people might feel like that; again, that’s great. But VR is not the One True Way, because there is no One True Way, and there never will be. What I have works for…

Hello, I am running 3, 55 inch TCL TV’s with Honeycomb Alpha, Bravo and rudder pedals. I was building a panel, but realized it really limited what I could fly. You may be able to find my pics here on this site.. The three screens are 90 degrees with a roof. You actually sit in it. I am running a 307…
