Now if you make an full motion one this will be harder. Some people has build replica cockpits of jets, they tend to be build of wood with instrument panels added after best ability but many looks very authentic. I think that it is totally possible, but VERY,VERY hard. Then you would need to install a flight sim on the computer, something very realistic like DCS or so. Then you could wire everything to a computer (very hard i guess) and install displays for the "windows" I guess you could build a replica of a cockpit from either custom materials (say flight sims HOTAS) or even old real aircraft parts, or maybe 3D print some ! I'm not going to pretend I know much about the details. And at that point I gave up googling.īuilding actual hardware is where it gets fun. Flightgear, perhaps unsurprisingly, seems to have a completely customisable and extensible IO subsystem. The Orbiter forums have what looks like a rich simpit community. More than enough info to fling a pilot around, as well as light up a full display panel. X-Plane has very detailed data packets it will send via UDP.

But check out the custom hardware / simpit repository thread for some of the impressive hardware people are building for it.

KSPSerialIO's data packet includes heading information in all three dimensions, but not acceleration vector info, so a full motion simpit might be pushing it. The only real limit is how much time and money you're prepared to invest in it.Īny respectable flight simulator exports all of the telemetry data you need.įor KSP, mods like Telemachus or KSPSerialIO (the one I use) export telemetry and accept commands.
