This is awesome. I’ve been wanting to get into flight simulator. I would want to use physical controls so this approach is very appealing to me. Thanks for sharing.

this is a top 10 video for flight simmers wanting to start out in great shape.

Fantastic result @Mark Susak!

Excellent idea. I have two set ups one for dcs and flight sim! This would work perfect! Glad to see another flight sim and woodworker! Will have some more flight controller cnc stuff on my channel!

Good save at 4:34 Suzie!!! Looks great.

Cool build! Thanks for sharing

Very cool Mark

That's an awesome portable cockpit setup. I'm trying to figure out what to do about my own cockpit.

Well done mate, even if there was an obscene amount of glue used! 😉😆 Now, to quickly whip up a riser for the monitors. 👌🏽 Looks great. 👍🏽

Awesome job mate!!

Great job.

Excellent !

all set up! nice one

I built a laptop sim. Metal box same size as laptop, two inches deep. Got old tomahawk control wheel. Alternat cut a broom handle. Attached to cupboard clothes rail 1 inch dia., used it's mountings as the two bearings. Inside bungy cord. The Leo bodner usb module. Used it's analogue inputs for pitch roll throttle mixture, trim, using potentiometers. Toggle switches for other inputs.

Well done, sir.

Honestly, that handheld router is one of the best tools to have on a battery, because you're always having to use it in awkward corners. Also, that duct tape will leave some nasty sticky residue if you remove it. That's the downside of it holding everything in place so well.

I would have to agree. Circular saws you can manage, but for a smaller trim router for corners, curves even indented work, cordless is fantastic

Excellent idea *TOP*

Wow that's neat. Note, if you use one of the cockpit instrument panel apps on your tablet in place of where the maps are sitting, you don't need the cockpit view on your monitor. Lift your monitor up level with the top of your cockpit, and get more visuals.

Nice. Not sure if you've noticed but the bottom of the yoke has some threaded inserts that you could have screwed into from below. I'm going to have to do something similar and had been thinking about what to do because I have the same scenario and ideally, want to just plug in one USB cable and not have to keep bolting individual bits to the desk and disassemble afterwards.

He buttered that landing.

Love it!

Tx Mark, splendid advice. After viewing your video I plan to build me your portable cockpit, incl 2 saitek panels (switch and ap) . And after the vid of George Findlay also on youtube i went for the IpadMini 1 on dutch Marktplaats. Now proud owner of 3 of them ipads, for ca € 30 each, and the remote flight bundle installed. The 3 ipadsM also in your cockpit. Tx very much ! grtz Jeff, The Netherlands

Thumbs up for the whisky🥃👍🏼👍🏼

I don't comment on much, but this was nice my dude.

yeah, great job

The main point is whether it works a not, not so much about the messy wiring. Even if the wiring is going to be neat but things aren't working, what is its use? This cockpit is awesome! love it!

Good to see you using a push through tool on that table saw.........too many "big shots" can't go bowling anymore.......good for you brother. +++++ AND AGAIN.....do not reach over a spinning blade...LET IT DROP......it's not going to run away......Great project!

What you built looks fantastic, what's the map your using on the second monitor

Hey Mark, what measurement are the spacing for the cut marks? I'm planning on doing the same thing.

Nice!

Once you got the flip-top out it was like a light-bulb was being lit inside of my brain xD I was like, *_ooooooooh that's where I know this dude from haha_*

Haha thank you :)

Very nice build, can u say what is the device with several keys positioned above the yoke, thanks for your video.

Can I recommend wall mounting you main monitor so it is above your cockpit. We have the identical three pieces of gear, yoke, MFD panel and switch panel. I would love to make something like you have to hold everything. I would lve to see a demonstration of how you use your stream deck with flight simulator, it might be something I would be interested in getting. Check out my setup and let me know what you think.

even more portable -- laptop + VR headset

do you have a material list for the buildout?

Fantástico.

You did great on the actual, bigger wood pieces during kerf bend cutting, but the way you grabbed for the smaller test pieces rather negates the pushblock you used for safety Just a helpful suggestion, as "Ol' Ace 9 Digits" isn't much of a callsign 😉

i love it

Hi how did you get the 2nd monitor above to show the map?

ohhh, did not know you could use the streamdeck with xplane.... makes sense that you could, though....

What is iPad iOS app you use for MSFS2020?

good effort mate, where do i get one? ;)

Hay Man - really nice setup - love that you made it yourself! BTW, what are your desktop speakers called??

Thanks! They are from Edifier, not too sure of the model though. They are pretty good. I was using the Logitech range for years. So happy I bought these

what are the measurements (width and height)

that looks great, but you barely see anything on your monitor this way I guess?

What are the dimensions

So did you have to do anything with the landing gear panel to get it to work. I cannot get that thing to even show up on my computer. Have downloaded the drivers for it and everything. Any advise? Maybe I got a bad one?

I was experiencing the same thing. You have to download a very small driver from the Logitech website for this to work on FS2020

Yes I did download it and it's still not recognized in the computer. I'll probsbly send it back. I originally was going to use it for DCS and what a pain to set up. I recently started 3d printing so ill probably try to create my own instead.

HHAHAHAHA he's gonna bend wood. Like that won't snap or something... oh wait what?! That's a genius way to bend wood. 😱

Is the completed cockpit sitting freely on your desktop? If so, doesn't move when you pull on the control yoke?

What flight software are you using?

Fine video but someday you will be loosing a finger on that saw.

how is this a wood working channel?

that blocks half of your monitor

tutorial is so hard

Use double sided tape.

2:00 AHHH PLEASE don't reach over the blade like that again
