First of all, I have to say that I am incredibly impressed by the effort and technical know-how that some people here invest in their cockpits. It really is absolutely amazing.
This is my FlightSim Setup. Nothing special. My goal is, I want to be able to operate any aircraft with the setup. For example, I can control combat jets and helicopters with the HOTAS, the Bravo Throttle contributes a few things like mixture control, rotor brakes on the helicopter or any spoilers or something like that, general aviation planes with the Alpha and Bravo, larger jets with the stick and the Bravo, etc.
As you can see, I am only using VR (yet its a HP reverb G2 but there will come a pimax crystal lite thanks to microsoft cancelling the mixed reality portal. Thanks alot for that, microsoft!
It’s nice to see that for so many people the FlighSim (whichever one) is more of a way of life than just a simple computer game, so much that entire rooms in the house are dedicated to it.
But that brings me to a very pressing question:
I’m absolutely nerdy and engineer enough, and especially tinkering enough, that I’ve often considered building something like this myself. This is only a little part of what happens behind the sim controllers:
But if you now after a couple of years are ready building a Cessna Citation setup for instance with all the bells and whistles and then decide to fly a helicopter. What then?
