Very nicely done. Congrats…
This is my ‘temporary’ simpit. It’s made from parts of my previous cockpit which was in my back bedroom / office (this setup is temporarily in my front bedroom) and had the 180 degree projector screen that I’ve posted shots of before. I took this down late last year with the intention of quickly renovating the room and then building a new simpit from scratch, but set up this temporary one so I could fly while I built.
Well, for various reasons the new simpit build hasn’t even begun yet, but the Airbus-inspired pedestal you see in this shot is newly-built and should carry over to the new pit.
Currently fitted out with the VirtualFly TQ6 that I use for piston and turboprop aircraft, you can quick-change for the Thrustmaster TCA throttles (single or dual units for 2/4 engines) in about a minute or so. Change control profiles in MSFS and Spad.neXt and I’m ready to fly anything.
The iPad dock at the back lets me use this as a control panel with Air Manager or Spacedesk for type-specific stuff, or just holds and charges my iPad 
I’ve been building this for the last few weeks and I’m reasonably happy with how it turned out. Sadly, because I rushed at the start and made the basic frame not quite square, there are lots of not-square bits, but you don’t really notice them unless you’re looking for them

what screens are these?
Hello everyone! (from France)
What do you think about my setup ?!
From my next level gt racing (flight pack) I made a full A320 panels running with Air manager.
- 4 touch screens (21,5 inch) Pfd, Mfd, Eng, Pedest, …
- 1 over head panel (23 inch)
- 1 front vew (34 inch, Curved)
And I’m far from ending this setup, it remains captain’s seat and front vew, mcdu, efis, …
The funniest thing is “I have no computer to run this😂”. My laptop gtx 1650 doesn’t follow any more the config. Looking for a Rtx 3080 or more for running this setup.
Which config do you suggest me to run this ?! ?!

looks like a pretty clean setup

Nice, but not being positioned with respect to the carpet pattern is triggering my OCD.

That is the most uncomfortable seat ever built. I removed the padding from the back and cut the welds where it bends forward. Then bent it straight. Finally just replaced it with a HD truck seat.
The 5800x3D is supposed to be the CPU for MSFS right now because of its stacked cache. There is no upgrade path for it though. A 4090 GPU should future-proof you for a while.

Wow so glad to have found this thread, such incredible work going on.
I bought an old Cessna 152 cabin last weekend and it’s now in the garage.
I’ll be working on converting my Logitech devices to live in the 152!

I am envious on your Cessna, the big space you have, and your flying carpet underneath the Cessna 
.
Please keep us up to date on your project, you will find no better experts than us, here in this forum.

I do not understand why all of these high end setups (whole real planes!) don’t user Brunner Yokes for real feedback?
I kind of agree. Not necessarily on having to use Brunner but yes why would you put low end Logitech stuff into a build like this.

Or you could build a cheapo unit using an old MSSFFB2 stick. That Brunner is nice but ■■■■ the price…
I was going to build a home cockpit, even cutout the MIP.
But then I discoverd VR. Feels like your flying in a real plane and you get to experience all types of planes.
Scratched that off my do to list
