Home Motion Flight Simulator

Sorry if this has been posted already. I did a few searches but I didn't see anything.

This is a motion simulator based on the old JoyRider plans (http://www.acesim.com/main.html). The guy has added windscreen wiper motors and his own pc interface to drive the motion.

 

The components are cheap and readily available. The main materials are PVC pipe and mechano type strips of metal. It looks complex, but if you look into his walkthrough of the construction you will see its surprisingly easy.

 

The interface is on his site as well. You just need to print out the circuit board and solder the required components.

 

Few choice youtube videos:

 

LiveForSpeed:- This one is good, as it shows some of the latest features to be added. Lots more shaking and "turbulence" to the motions.

 

F16:- This video shows the ranges of the simulator. IMO this thing would be ideal for Black Shark.

 

I'm going to start on mine during the summer, I cant bloody wait.:pilotfly:

If i was gonna drop that kinda loose change, I would just get my pilots licence and save myself the hassle of shipping to NorthAmerica!!

 

Very nice simpit Ryan has done though, I will give him big credit for that! Wouldn't you love to get your hands on the 'trim' version?
