Hands, arms and body
Spit40 replied to tommy10101's topic in Virtual Reality (VR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Aerofly FS2 added this rerasonably well although your arms would stay fixed to yoke/throttle. Tracking would be amazing ! It will come. -
Build your own replica flight controls - a kit approach
Spit40 replied to Spit40's topic in Hangar Chat
We're getting close now folks. There are 6 beta testers test building this now in the UK, USA and Australia. They've been focussed on testing the printing and assembly but this weekend I hope that one or two will finish that assembly and I'll get some in-use feedback. If that goes well I will publish the designs and complete my assembly video series over the weekend of Dec 4-6. -

When I look at the stats on YouTube I see average watch time around 3 minutes, so thanks for bringing up the average. I'll try and do another one this w/e for you 😉 -

Any mention of timing? I was flying over the white cliffs of Dover the other day and they were somewhat uncliffy.

Video 3 now available - nearly there folks! -
The best option imho is something like VRK kneeboard. A physical tablet device velcro’d to your knee which takes interactions like scroll, pen interaction and page turn and insim you see a tablet with approach plates, written text etc. I got that going in AFS2 as an overlay. It would be better done as part of the sim.

Many thanks. I’m almost there. Working hard to get a nice feel for the pitch axis - spending a fortune on springs at the moment to get just the right one. 🙂 -

Aiming to launch this flight stick early December. Replica to scale Spitfire MkIX spade grip with 2 button firing Working brake lever Upper bracket also to scale Hall sensors throughout Standard windows controller auto-detects but you'll need to map pitch/roll/brake Currently being tested in MSFS with a Spitfire MkIX due out in a few weeks (have had collaboration with the developer) Low cost rig ensures accurate placement between your legs First product of a range - trim wheel, throttle quadrant, under carriage and flaps lever at prototype stage Here's the unusual bit - it's free. It has been designed to be printable on a cheap 3D printer (developed on a sub £200 Ender 3) and to be assembled with basic Airfix/Ikea skills using low cost commodity parts (sealed bearings, bolts, sensors available from Amazon/ebay). Assembly videos, parts-list and printable files will be released at launch, so you could have it working for Christmas 😉 Here's a 3D render, photo of a prototype being tested at Boultbee Academy's Spitfire MkIX simulator and an in situ photo.

Is there a DC3 in the works?

Well not much at all at the moment. Aerofly FS2 in VR is what got me into flight sim and that's what I will use on occasion until VR comes to MSFS.
