June 15, 201213 yr Commercial Member Hey folks, I have what I hope is a discussion starting question for everyone. We the most realistic 737 home simulator possible thanks to PMDG, but it is still on a screen. No matter the realism, we still have to click the mouse to flip switches, and most of us sit in an office chair while doing this. What does everyone else do to make their sim feel more real while flying? Collin Biedenkapp Chief Executive Officer TFDi Design (Invernyx) | Website

June 15, 201213 yr Dress up like a pilot, Watching a real life video before flying helps me alot, Bounce around in your chair on Takeoff, VATSIM! Wide screens/Projectors TrackIR I find all these things Work well to some extent. :Peace:
June 15, 201213 yr I agree with Sebastian, TrackIR 5 is a nice addition. Also, a yoke is a good one. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
June 16, 201213 yr I have my girlfriend kick my chair when landing to simulate gear touchdown. Sadly she only did it once. AJ Pongress
June 16, 201213 yr Get A2A-s accu feel and a good (read big) set of speakers with good bass. Crank up the volume and enable the gear skreech on touchdown. If you have good speakers, you feel the damn thing, not hear it. Vladimir Levkov / Владимир Левков Two miles of road can take you two miles.Two miles of runway can take you anywhere in the world
June 16, 201213 yr vrinsight mcp II panel hands down for the cost involved. Seconded. Good support from them too as well as Linda support. REX, Orbx, MegasceneryX SoCal. Other than that, EZDoc so I can quickly stay oriented around the airport (and get some nice views). Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane. A great landing is when you can reuse it." i9 64GB RAM, GTX-5090
June 16, 201213 yr Most of the time I use headphones, but If you have a good sub-woofer use It, it makes the sounds better. Fernando B ( I know I misspelled Boeing, I did it on purpose to make it Unique )
June 17, 201213 yr Right now I'm flight simming on a 40" HDTV with a PFC yoke, trackIR 5, and I have a 737 throttle on order from fsthrottles.com It still doesn't feel "real" in the sim, even with vatsim and ATC. I think the only way to feel completely immersed is to build a cockpit. I'm starting to look at curve screen setups, projectors, and But this is going to cost lots of money, and a wife which will be very unhappy. Unless of course I go the projector route, which can double as an entertainment system. I would like to hear anyones affordable way of building a 180 degree visual cockpit.
