So here's my favorite part. This fellow... an absolute multi-discipline polymath is hand-crafting an incredibly complex one-of-a-kind device. We're nearly 30 mins deep. There's been 3d modeling, prep, printing, curing, painting, filing, SOURCING, assembly, wiring, QC checks, coding, synching with the simulator.... And what's the reaction? "...switch it over into the active... HOW SIMPLE IS THAT?! That's one encoder and two buttons working... SO SIMPLE! Now it's just [repeating those steps a couple dozen times]...!" HAHAH. Dude. Love it. I loved flying the G1000 during flight school. Having one on the desk would be fantastic. This is inspirational levels of ingenuity, and I'm all in for flexing all of those skill sets. But "HOW SIMPLE IS THAT?" 🤣🤣🤣

Hello and thank you! its a bit of a niche channel, but its fun filming and building.

The cabling alone is an epitome of pride in your work! Thank you so much for sharing this and all your other videos.

As an American, I must say I absolutely appreciate the metric system. It has introduced a greater precision in every project I make. So, England BAD for the inherited imperial system, but thanks for the English language and being a predecessor and mentor of the metric system. Base 10, baby !

I just purchased the screen and your files. Can't wait to start the project! Thank you very much for this high quality content, the tutorial and the very detailed files!

Perfect way to start my Saturday. This made me happy just knowing that there are some dedicated people out there. One does wonder how you end being a person that builds these. You made it look easy...but it sure looks like a ton of work. Kudos

Incredible. I learned so much from this video. I was struggling with Mobiflight and your video makes it very clear how to use it. Your skill and attention to detail are top notch. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

The very best video on KZread that I've ever seen in my entire life about MFS. Thank you, Heli. Hugs from Brazil.

I am absolutely gobsmacked at the skills you demonstrate in these build videos. I'm crap with my hands and have never even hammered a nail into a wall to hang a picture so I am totally engrossed by videos such as this one, you make it all look soooooo easy. I would love to give this a go myself if I had the skills, tools, equipment and money to do so - it all looks great fun and I find your videos very inspiring. And having been a software engineer in the avionics world for 20 years I'd love to give programming with Mobiflgiht a go, that part really appeals to me!!!

Good Morning Rob, Thank you and that is fantatsic to hear. Kind Regards Karl

Brilliant work, and great to see the 'rat's nest' of wiring turn into neat wiring looms. Unfortunately I think any non-electronic simmers would be overwhelmed by the complexity of the wiring but can't think how PCBs could be used as people would likely source different switches and rotary encoders 😢. I'd definitely build 2 of these if I build a Simpit rather than go VR when a decent headset is available!

Thanks Karl for your work, is really well made and entertaining! About the map "joystick", I will be using this component: Alps rkjxt1f42001 , it is really inexpensive! I have already used it in a g1000 that I build during the pandemic for xplane (using simvim and Arduino+multiplexer), with the frame build using a tiny CNC, But your designs is far better than my homemade so gonna build it again!

I have a CO2 laser, curious how you would do the frame with laser vs the way you did it with the raised letters (which I like).

Man you rock!!!!!!

If the raised bits are all on the same plane, it might work better to use some spray adhesive to stick some fine sandpaper to a pane of glass, then just lap it on there a few times till that thin layer of paint is off.

Hi Karl! Just finished the build of the G1000 V2. Any hints on how to get the RKJXT1F 4-way stick to work correctly in MobiFlight? It seems that each direction triggers the push switch as well. Greetings from Switzerland!

Watched twice. Ty. 👌🏻

You are an inspiration! I've watched this video a thousand times. Taught myself to solder this week, and now I'm learning to read electrical diagrams. My goal is to complete the second version. My question is, where does the 12v come from? I'm assuming an external supply and so my second question, can the same 12v supply everything, the wiring diagram has it on 2 different sources. Thank you so much!

Hi there It looks great, thank you karel Im looking for a 3d printed 737 FMC or the document

Fuel and mixture controls also get on Thingiverse, may be in future will change for Karl' version. Good luck with your build! ))

Another great project, congratulations, your a genius. I'm really tempted to start a side project on the 737 with your G1000. but I'm afraid of not being able to make the connections and wire manage to the Arduino. Can you do one video on that topic? Also, I'm doing a research, if I can get all the parts through Amazon, so I don't have any surprises in the customs fees. can you give me the monitor driver model compatible with the monitor and 3d printed support.
