Please contact me if you need further information on this item. The MPID, or Multi Purpose Integrated Display is an unit buit my myself and patent pending. Thanks to these two simple devices, the monitor connected to server (main PC) is used exclusively to run Flight Simulator, then I can switch it OFF and concentrate on flying, without using keyboard and mouse anymore throughout the flight!

With the purpose of getting a closed, surrounding cockpit, without keyboard and mouse, I've added an MPID ( Multi Purpose Integrated Display) fixing it to the control yoke, and a Tablet PC for easy chart browsing. But now let's see all the upgrades done year by year.Īdded an MPID to facilitate ATC communications, perform check-list and consult maps. It was converted to the more compact version just discussed above. This simulator cockpit has been dismantled in 2016 because the space required was excessive. Second stage completed on April 2009 with the addition of a complete enclosure. First stage completed in October 2008 with the cockpit fully operative. This Cessna cockpit project has been started on August 2008.

The main drawback of this setup, is that the pilot will have the left monitor much closer to the right monitor, but once you get used to this, it will be perfectly fine, considering the pros and the low cost. The monitors are regular 50" Full-HD TVs. The instrument panel is still a regular one from Simkits, slightly customized to better match a C-182. If still uses FSX, but may work also with Prepar3D via WidevieW 64. This Cessna Flight Simulator cockpit works with 4 computers of average power (since the total workload is distributed over multiple computers, low-end hardware is still enough) linked togther by WidevieW and Widetraffic. Due to the very narrow angles between the monitors (just 90 degrees), you may use a scenery zoom factor as low as 0.7, which reduces scenery blur a lot and improves the performance, since it will not be necessary to use very high scenery level of detail radius.

The full cockpit simulator can be installed in a small corner of your living room, as it needs only a space of 5 feet by 5 feet. The main advantages of this kind of simulator cockpit configuration, are: It has a total field of view (FOV) of 225 degrees, obtained with 3 TVs placed at 90° from each other. It has been assembled in 2016 and it is still in operation. This is the latest version of my personal Cessna C182-RG Flight Simulator cockpit.
