Canopy arch makes it look so much more real. Awesome stuff.

Very nice! Really creative. One hint about those mirrors… I tried the AJ-37 Viggen Simulator at NovelAir in Sweden and that sim uses 3 big screen TV’s in the front and one TV behind, that can be seen through the mirrors. The effect was very convincing.

I INSTANTLY clicked on and liked the video as soon as it popped up. I don’t even have to see it to completion yet to know it’s going to be epic.

This makes me wish I had both the time, resources, and space for one of these myself. Seriously inspiring work, man!

I love the videos. Your simulator is truly a masterpiece of clever engineering. Maybe you could do the mirrors with a projector in the back shining on a white screen where the mirror would be. It would only cast onto the little screens and leave out everything else. Maybe you could extract the mirrorimage by running the canopie view in the backround and laying a mask over the parts that are not mirror.

Functional mirrors would be so cool--maybe it could be done with a low-res/cheap projector behind pointing onto the mirrors (mirrors being white projector screens)

I love seeing updates on this project, its bloody brilliant and your ingenuity is amazing!!

I'm imply amazed, everytime you come up with a new video. Perfect from start to end! Please keep up your work and effort, being such a great inspiration for the pit-builders community.

Absolutely amazing!! Excellent engineering and work!

Simply, elegantly, splendid. Inspirational work.

This thing is absolutely insane, been watching for a while now but it still blows my mind

One of the coolest projects I have ever seen! Well done sir!

Men its getting better and better! Amazing Work M8!

Videos on wiring each panel, gauges and power supply would be incredibly helpful. I am not an electrical guru so some hand holding would be great.

so amazing, love the work!

Great work as always!

This has to he 1 of the coolest things ive ever seen! And just the fact that everything is functional is just mind-blowing

Outstanding work.

Brutal, espectacular. Amazing!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Congratulations!! Tu cockpit es brutal. Nice cockpit 🙌🙌

in awe. Keep building it. I love it.

Wow! great stuff you built there! Really nice job!, And video also! Thanks.

Amazing work!

Blown away by how great this project looks.

Really cool job!

Thanks as always for sharing. I subscribe to about 250 KZread channels and yours is in the top 5.

Simply amazing

nothing short of amazing

You make things that seem like they should be complicated, look easy. Awesome job and great video.

Wonderful Job.....very nice.

Very impressive!

@6:13 and @15:08 LOL. Again, your dedication and ingenuity knows no bounds! Well done!

That's a great design!

Sir, that is one impressive project!

The A10 is my favourite Plane. Well happy I’ve found this channel. Nice one mate!

Awesome video!

Well done

So ridiculously friggin epic...

I love your work ! Now i only wait for you to to the Uh-1h cockpit :) Already waiting for the next video !

That is just crazy cool

yesss this is so sick!

Awesome!

Damn I love this channel!

Mate this is just unreal. Absolutely inspiring. I'm starting on mine today, making the AOA indexer and the indicator light cluster and time permitting I'll do the stall warning lights. I am gonna start a channel (more just as a buildlog for myself) but if you're interested I'll send you a link so you can have a look. I mean it's gonna be a Tomcat pit not a warthog, but we all have flaws! Lol! I've just bought a huge sheet of high impact polystyrene (modellers call it plasticard) and I was thinking that might be something you could use for needles. I got 0.5mm but it comes in 0.25mm as well. Anyway, have a great weekend and thanks so much for sharing your work, without you I'd not have even believed that this was possible .

Ingenious

this is some of the coolest shit ive seen in a long time...

This is amazing. I love every part of it... Do you have a video on building the HUD? I couldn't find anything about it here or at you site.

seems like the large white needle should be at the top of the stack. this looks incredible! makes me want to start working on something like this, i'm sure it would take me years and years to build even a very simple one :)

Yeah it should be, I forgot to mention why I did it this way. The top needle is the one connected directly to the rear servo without any gears. Because of that it is the only one that has only 180 degrees of sweep, which wasn't enough to cover the whole range. So I traded off and made it the negative G needle instead, and made the middle one the load needle.

Awesome 45 min A-10 “Walk around” video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d4ybttSpgLifgs4.html

This comes along really really well! Question, now that you have built on this for a while, and your skills and planning have to get better and better. Do you ever look at some of the first parts you built and think; ok that's not up to my standards now, i have to remake it

Sometimes you watch certain youtubers, and even thou you aren't that interested in the subject matter, the videos are still engaging and entertaining.

Dude....I'm not worthy. So blown away by everything you've done.

Such a cool project! Not sure if it is worth the trouble, but you could consider using something like a “1280*320 Car Display” to have a screen in the mirror. Comes in 8.8 inch - but I saw similar in other sizes as well. Haven’t used them myself, but I remember looking at them when ordering eInk displays.

Holy shit man did you think all this up yourself? If so, you are one clever, creative and talented son of a gun! Amazing work man…amazing! 👏. 🤙

There are projects and then there is THIS project. :)

Great instrument. You could move the power board one stage inside besides the single servo.

This video is rated G

Two videos in one month? We're not worthy

Awesome

Damn this simulator pit looks great, you make it look easy lol.

that looks really awesome man i hope that you get a real one someday:D

Can you do a video designing a part from scratch on the 3d print software? Then programming the functions in the game?

And It is just a “hobby”… this guy is simply amazing…

really amazing work with these truly an inspiration. Im hoping to pinch many of the ideas for my own Simpit just awaiting Star citizen to output data so i can snag into it.. Would a stepper motor setup make it more accurate to the in game one? wondering if its a servo been abit slower and less precise thing?

Makes me want to do a F-5 cockpit.

As always, I'm totally impressed by your work. Genious! Keep it up! In fact, your project inspired me to try it myself. One little thing I noticed: shoudn't the needle that shows the actual g-force (the one with the longest white part) be the topmost? Yours sits between the min and max needle.

@thewarthogproject

Thanks. I forgot to mention that in the video! You are correct, but because the top needle is on the centre shaft that is connected direct to the servo, it isn't geared at all. The servo doesnt have enough travel to sweep the entire gauge, unless it is geared. I made that the negative G needle, as it only needs to travel about 45 degrees.

How good is The Warthog Project !!!! (Any Aussie will get the reference)

You are a master! How did you learn how to set up the motherboard and components?

Excellent & inspiring work! I had a question and request. I know you said you don’t do Arduino coding, but I’d really benefit knowing more about your process of finding and tweaking the code you use. Especially with stepper motors. Appreciate any info you could offer us.

Very nice!!! Do you have the STL file for the mirrors?

If you put the projectors in the base of the cockpit, you'd get a couple of advantages. The whole rig would be more portable and stay aligned, the projectors would be closer to your eyes so the distortion would need less correcting and also be brighter if the screen is even slightly retroreflective, and best of all you could put a 4th projector behind you seat projecting onto the ceiling (making the curved dome I leave as a challenge to the reader :D) Edit: I didn't realise how close the front of the rig was to the screen, so I guess this is a non-starter unless you make a bigger screen

Your cockpit is awesome! From your experienced point of view, could be possible to build a canopy, coating it with textile for retro projection and place the projectors outside projecting over the canopy? Hope I made it clear 😬

Powered by FreeCAD! Amazing project!

EPIC

Cool

Great work! Have you been able to pull 10Gs?

Awesome video thank you! Could you send me the link for the thingyverse file of the Arduino holder? Thanks!!

How many prototypes do you typically go through before your final design?

I love flight simulators in VR.... but I get fricken airsick. Excellent work, dude!

Holy crap you weren't kidding when you said you created 99% percent of your simulator. This is unbelievable.

Ahh man i am so jealous :-)

Maybe you could make the HUD cam functional to get some realistic style footage

6:30 what happened with audio there? Amazing work as usual thank you for this!

Next episode: I installed a glass to the simulator and now i am working on pressurizing it!

I bet you could write some interpolation code for the meter to smooth it out.

20:12 Would it impossible to use three small LCDs for that?

Love your work as always. Only question, why is the active G needle not the top one? If you look at the in game instrument, the long white one is the top most one.

Question: Do you plan to replace most if not all of your current digital gauges with replicas like this? Is that even feasible?

*starts a chant* Do the mirrors! Do the mirrors! Do the mirrors!

Hey I love you videos. Sometimes the wife and kids sit down and watch with me. One question do you share the Arduino code? Id love to see an example / explanation of how these tie into Helios.

Hey ! I have a question, do you gonna do a functional hud ?

les coûts doivent être colossale si on additionne tous.

Hey dude will you ever attempt a realistic HUD? As in one working the same way as a real one.

Hey Mate, so its the gears that allow the needles to go past the 180 degree servo limit?

@DFX2KX

you can buy servos with no endstop. or remove the endstop, but I do believe they're geared enough to cover all the way to the 10 g at least.

Hi, did you happen to check or test how many steppers are supported simultaneously on one Arduino Mega card ?

4th projector for mirrors?

how did you learn flying the a10?

Can you run like.. a 80hz highpass filter on your videos? It's shaking my room. 11:34 for example is a huge "thunk"

I'm thinking about buying a bigger monitor/TV to be able to spot enemies better, my vision is not that great and it's hard for me to see a pixel on a 27" monitor. What would you recommend in regards to size? 50" TV or would you suggest a projector? My room is about 10'x10' room, how far back do you think I need to be away from the screen? Christmas is coming and I want to upgrade my screen. Thanks.

If you are looking for max pixel density I would recommend a TV screen over a projector surface, especially if you plan on making the surface curved. As for TV recommendations I can't really comment as I've never used one, but I figure the biggest 4k one you can fit in your room would be the go.
