Still a work in progress!
Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, RealSimGear g1000’s, Ipad mini w/ Foreflight, PilotEdge ATC and I’m still working on the cockpit. Emulating Piper PA-28 deminsions, but it’s still pretty immersive for most aircraft.
Not mine but
Could you please stay on topic? This topic is about sharing actual DIY cockpits. Not about disappointments about the simulator/game. Thank you very much.
A friendly reminder to all, This thread is about posting/ sharing pictures of sim cockpits. Out of respect to the original poster, please stay on topic.

Right side blue handle Trim.
So make it possilble to fly motorized planes also.
The cockpit works with 1 computer.
Using a widescreen 250 cm and a Beamer setup.
Fantastic job…Congrats!!!
Very nice job but why don’t you fly in a real one ? it would be much cheaper and the sensations are fantastic
My home built Messerschmitt 109 E, my most favorite plane in the world! Unfortunately with a cessna cockpit! ![]()
Are the two homes synced?
If you mean the yokes, yes they are connected and synced. I’m using a 2GT belt to connect the two yokes, however the 2GT belt is slipping. I’m currently working on a design using HTD 3M belt which should prevent any slipping
Holy moly! I thought I have a nice homecockpit, but this… this is just beyond awesome. Congrats! Did you build this yourself? Is this from a real Emil or a replica?
And please let us know the answer to the one burning question we all have:
How did you explain this to your wife?
Hehe glad you like it! Thankfully my wife is super supportive so no problem there! I built this myself with wood and Aluminium Composite Ply. Basically I just took the blueprints off of the Guillows stick&tissue 109 Emil model, blew it up to 1:1 scale in an industrial printer, chopped and hammered the pieces together and viola! I think it came out alright! ![]()
Ps: I think my wife was glad I was out of her hair for the 6 month period ![]()
