FoxDelta's VR pit (transportable)

after years of improvised simming, and due to VR, i decided to built my very first rig.

it has to be transportable, and as small as possible but still giving me the feeling of sitting in a cockpit.

the result feels good and does deliver those narrow cockpit feeling, AND its easy to transport it to another place,

so have a look

inside measurements: 140x65x50cm

That looks like an awkward place for the throttle. You didn't want to mount it at thigh height?

its ok, the collective is not mounted yet, so i need the space for it, thats the reason.

the elbow is resting at the flight case, its still comfortable

indeed not very realistic, there are some compromises necessary, of course

is there a particular reason why it has to be movable?

i like the compact design, but what i am wondering is: do you use the monitor for flight, with the keyboard on it?

or do you just use it with VR?

I think it rocks, good job man...giving me some ideas!!!

the monitor is just for srs or discord and game start, i fly in VR, after a short time i now find fhe mfds blind, for the keyboard i look through the gap near the nose

yes, moveable was necessary because i have to be flexible in my job, changing locations

I need that thing to be my coffin when I die. Sending pictures to my wife.

thanks fox for the explanation, it makes more sense to me now :)

never thought about that sitting in a narrow space would help the immersion of flight, but you're absolutely right!

hmmm seems like i need to build my own flying coffin now :D

That is awesome... jet in a case

F18 upgrade, MCG arrived, collective is now in place too

Bugeye actually offers this as a product for military/training uses

wow,

never seen this before, cool but looks a lot more professional than mine, i might have changed my design if i had seen it before

any ideas about theirs price?

i assume its not for consumers

Awesome, compact and all in one place! Love it.

raised the seat a bit, so the VKB stick was too low now, had to 3D print an extension, posting the file here to give others the possibility to easily draw a BASE

Just noticed the collective. Nice.

Did you build the road case your self or repurpose one?

the case parts were precut, just had to assemble it, u can find lots of configurators with all parts included in the www

What collective is this?

Great job, btw.

uh1 by oe-xam, i really like it but can t recommend the manufacturer, had several quality issues, first was mounted with invertedd switches, throttle recogniced only 0,half,max. sent it back

second one had also issues with the axis which i had to fix myself (colli is hall sensor but throttle/rpm is a poti and this was assembled completly wrong)

the sticker on top of the base had a misspelling/writing? so i removed it

and the second was sent to a comlpetly wrong address, long waiting time.

front part was 3d printed, with a minimum wall thickness, so i reprinted a more robust version for it myself

for the price they offer it at the moment i would not even consider buying it with all those quality issues

don t take me wrong, as it is now, its 100% reliable and robust, and now i am happy with it and wont miss it, everyone flying a heli in dcs should try a colli, its so intuitiv, but never again from this manufacturer
