This is a detailed demo of my DIY $430 budget 2DOF Motion Platform and VR Cockpit for VR Microsoft Flight Simulator. It includes the overview, walkthrough of all control designs, and several demo flights on a Cessna twin prop (Yoke + Throttles), Boeing 737 airliner (Yoke + Throttles), Helicopter (Cyclic / Collective configuration) and STOL plane (Joystick + HOTAS).

All 3D design, sample configuration and 3D-printer files are available for a FREE DOWNLOAD (optional donation) at [ Ссылка ]
