Volair Sim Cockpit with all Honeycomb Peripherals

Volair Sim Cockpit with all Honeycomb Peripherals
  • January 16, 2025

Here is very tidy implementation from Stephen, one of our customer.

Stephen, a retired pilot, writes, ” I really enjoy flying the sim either in MSFS 2020 or X-Plane 12.”

The sim features all Honeycomb components: Alpha Yoke, Bravo Throttle and the Charlie rudder pedals. The visuals are displays on three 32″ monitors. 

The Charlie rudder pedals fit the cockpit, albeit the L/R pedals need to be removed from the pedal base prior to installation onto the chassis. Please see this article for details.

Also, please note how Stephen is using one of the monitor posts to bundle the monitor power and signal cables for a very neat overall look.

Volair Sim Chassis for Day Trading

Day Trading / Flight Sim Dual-Purpose Workstation
Volair Sim Chassis for Day Trading
  • Publish Date

Are you, perhaps, a day trader during the week and a pilot on weekends and after-hours? If so, you may be interested in using Volair Sim chassis as a comfortable and ergonomic day-trading station, while retaining its full capability as a flight sim cockpit. Over the years we have had a number of day traders who use Volair Sim either as a standalone day trading set-up or use it as a flightsim/daytrading combo.

Here is an example of Volair Sim with ThinkorSwim software. Day trading, not unlike flight simulation, requires a powerful computer so “repurposing” the flight-sim PC (and displays) for day trading without the need (and expense) for additional dedicated hardware is a big cost save.

The triple display stand and the large displays are perfect for charts, stock scanners, where the (optional) G1000 displays mounted to the Volair Sim Avionics Panel can be used for additional windows. One can use the iPad holder to mount the iPad which may be handy during trading (or serve as a back-up to close out a position in case of the software crash, etc.).

The supportive genuine racing seat is perfect for hours of comfortable trading. One can even use the left-hand mount for the (much needed) beverage holder!

Volair Sim Cockpit with FlightSimBuilder GNS 530

Volair Sim Cockpit with FlightSimBuilder GNS 530
  • January 25, 2024

Here is an unedited review by our customer, Randy. He writes,

“The Volair sim cockpit has functioned extremely well for me for flight simulation (both MSFS and X-Plane). 

The cockpit assembled relative easily; I’ve also added Volair arm rests (sold separately).  The seat is comfortable and allows for adjustment both forward and back as well as tilt.  The former is particularly helpful, as it eases getting in and out, and with grandchildren as young as five also wanting to try simming, easily moving the seat far forward to help them reach the yoke. 

The setup includes an Alpha yoke and Bravo throttle quadrant along with the three iPad panels for primary flight instruments, engine and power management, flap and gear settings, etc. (via Air Manager, on two panels), a moving map (via Navigraph), as well as Logitech Radio Panel for com and nav and multi-panel for autopilot. 

I list these here as they are all contained within the basic Volair cockpit and provide all the instrumentation needed to fly realistic flights across a broad range of scenarios. 

It is important to note that the sizes of the iPads vary to fit the cockpit panels; XForcePC.com has information and videos discussing those sizes.  In addition to what mounts within the cockpit, the Bravo quadrant attaches to the base frame via an arm that can be adjusted inward or outward.  To the top of the Bravo, I’ve mounted a FlightSimBuilder GNS 530 that enables more direct manual rather than mouse control of that system. 

Rudder pedals fit directly under the cockpit; positions as well as the tilt of the rudder platform can be adjusted as needed. 

All in all, it takes a bit of fiddling to decide what works best for you, but once that’s done it works great. 

In addition, I recently discovered one missing part needed to properly assemble one side of the arm rest.  I contacted Volair and their customer service was outstanding.  They told me that in their experience this had never happened before, and while they did not have a spare part on hand, to avoid a delay they would take one from a complete set they had in stock and send it out that same day – that’s great service!”

Using Thrustmaster TPR (pendular) Rudder Pedals with No Modifications to Volair Sim Cockpit

Using Thrustmaster TPR (pendular) Rudder Pedals with No Modifications to Volair Sim Cockpit
  • January 26, 2023
One of our customers, Charles, found a cleaver way to install the Thrustmaster TPR pedals with no modifications. Charles writes:
 
It’s possible to use the Thrustmaster TPR rudders with the VolairSim cockpit by removing the VolairSim rudder footplate . Tolerances are pretty tight, it needs to stay in the “sweet spot” in relation to the rest of the frame.
 
If you’re on carpet, the TPR’s rubber feet won’t keep it fixed enough. Use velcro strips (that came with the cockpit) along the axis of rudder travel on the parts that are in contact with the carpet.
 
Align the two rearmost holes on the footplate of the TPR to an imaginary line just touching the aft edge of the vertical tube of the monitor stands on the VolairSim rig (shown in red).
 
Test for travel – you should be able to get nearly full deflection. If you’re too far forward, the arms of the TPR will bite into the horizontal crossbar, if too far aft, the pedals will knock into the slanted tubes. Use the velcro or other fastening mechanism to stay in the “sweet spot”.

Volair Sim Cockpit and Avionics Panel – Customer Story

Volair Sim Cockpit and Avionics Panel – Customer Story
  • October 27, 2022
A cool story from Jonathan, one of our customers:
 
“My wife and I were staying at my parents during COVID, as we closed on our very first home and were waiting for everything to go through. When MFS came out in July 2020, I bought my dad the Logitech yoke/rudder as a thanks for letting us stay at their house. He was a Cessna 172 pilot back in the ’70s and we were both stoked about MFS 2020. Sim flying became a nightly tradition after dinner. What became the most addicting was the landing challenges. We’d compete in a best-of-7 landing challenge every time. Lukla, Paro, St Barth’s, Saba, you name it. Once I moved into my house, I missed flying the sim a ton. I did my research and knew VolairSim was the way to go. I went all-in. Couldn’t help it.  Once I got everything, I put in over 300 hours of flying time. At that point, the itch to fly for real was too powerful. My wife got me a one-hour entry level flight lesson as an anniversary gift. I got to fly over the Hudson River and all around the beautiful NYC skyline on a perfect sunny day. My instructor was blown away by how I was handling the aircraft. He couldn’t believe it was my first time.  It was all thanks to the sim. I loved my lesson but haven’t flown for real again since. I now have a beautiful newborn at home, and for now, the sim is all I need. Thanks to online courses, I’m still committed to furthering my education from the comfort of my home, so I can eventually participate in VATSIM.”

Volair Sim Cockpit and Avionics Panel – Customer Review

Volair Sim Cockpit and Avionics Panel – Customer Review
  • June 8, 2022
Review from Jeff K along with photos of his Volair Sim as completed:
 
“Bottom line up front: This is an amazing product, and if you are looking for a solid, very functional, inexpensive flight sim or racing chassis, you need look no further!
 
I had been researching flight sim chassis for over five years, and while there are some (much more expensive) options out there which offer motion and/or/enclosure, I kept coming back to Volair Sim. For the price, no other rig came close in terms of what it offered…It was almost too good to be true.
 
And you know the old saying, if it sounds too good to be true…
 
Regardless, about a year ago I took the plunge and purchased the chassis and the Avionics Panel. The products arrived in perfect order and I began assembling the rig. I was a little nervous about the assembly process as I am not mechanically inclined in any way, but the instructions provided were very clear and if I did run into an issue, there is a very helpful video on the company website which walks through the assembly process step by step. It took me about two hours to assemble the chassis. I then began installing my Logitech flight panels, radio panels, yoke, and rudder panels to the chassis. Again, installation was effortless and everything fit perfectly, with no adjustments necessary.
 
Now came the fun part…
 
I had purchased three 31″ monitors to use with the rig (the largest size the chassis will support). I was concerned about how well (or if) they would fit. I shouldn’t have worried as even these behemoths attached easily and with some minor adjustments, lined up with each other perfectly!
 
I have flown close to 1000 hours with my Volair Sim setup (Thanks, COVID-19), and I have to say that the chassis has performed beyond my expectations. It is very comfortable for long flights, very sturdy yet light weight, which makes moving it very easy. To top off this review, I also need to mention the outstanding customer support I have received from the folks at Volair Sim. Whenever I have had a question (invariably on a weekend), I have always received a reply email the same day, or at least within 12 hours. It is obvious to me that they are very proud of their products and want to ensure the best possible experience for their customers.
 
I cannot recommend this product enough. Volair Sim has a customer for life.”

Fitting Thrustmaster TPR Rudder Pedals – Customer Modification
  • December 1, 2021

One of our customers, Mike made a pretty simple yet clever adaptation to fit the Thrustmaster TPR “pendular” rudder pedals. Mike writes,

“My friend and I came up with our own solution. We are both former AF pilots and current B-767 pilots and we felt the other method put the pedals way too high to be natural or comfortable. By putting them on the floor and just a little off the floor in this way there is just enough room for full movement and your feet. Now that I know it works I can cover with the black matting material to make it look better.”

Josh has provided an update on his cockpit build. As you can see, Josh has relocated the keyboard to the left and mounted Honeycomb Bravo to the Avionics Table so that he can use both the Thrustmaster HOTAS and the traditional yoke/throttle configuration. 

Josh writes,  

“I used 1” x 1” x 1/8” Aluminum Angle, 1” flat Aluminum for bracing on the backside,

M5 Bolts, nuts and spacers, and the factory screws on top of the Bravo.

(And a splash of black paint ^^)” 

We thank Josh for providing the photos and write-up of this very clever installation.

Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle Quadrant with Triple Curved 32″ Monitors

Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle Quadrant with Triple Curved 32″ Monitors
  • March 25, 2021

John, one of your customers writes,

“Thought you might like to see the latest updates to my volairsim cockpit.  Photos attached.

After my grandson discovered a nice 3 -monitor configuration on your website, I (or should I say, he…) decided it was time to ditch the 43″ TV I was using – even though it worked well overall – and go for the 3 monitor configuration.  I also purchased the 32″ curved ViewSonic monitors and they work very well.  I won’t go into the installation since that was more than adequately covered by the other person.  While side distortion is unavoidable, it’s something we can tolerate until such time, if ever, FS2020 supports multiple viewports.

I originally had my Bravo throttle quadrant mounted next to its sibling yoke but it never felt very comfortable there – always felt too high.  I had some pre-cut 3/4″ aluminum angle that was almost the exact lengths I needed – when does that ever happen?  I built a small platform under the right side and mounted the throttle about 6″ lower than it would otherwise sit.  Feels much better now.”

 
Great job John. We also think that the three 32″ curved monitors look especially cool. Given the small angle of the two side monitors the distortion caused by the nVidia Surround is quite manageable while having a benefit of small impact on frame-rates (the three independent views as implemented in X-Plane are a lot more demanding on the GPU causing much larger frame-rate drop).

Triple Curved 32″ Monitors – Customer Example

Triple Curved 32″ Monitors – Customer Example
  • December 21, 2020
Ever wondered about mounting 3 curved monitors. See post from Bryan S. who writes, 
 
“I used (3) curved 32” Viewsonic HD monitors with thin bezel line.  In the back center monitor VESA mounting plate, I used (4) 22mm wall spacers to push the monitor forward a bit. Hardware kit bought from Amazon.  
 
With this, when the left and right monitors marry up to the center monitor, there is no Z distance depth discrepancy.  All 3 monitors mate up in perfect symmetrical alignment!  The 3 curved monitors then produce a complete 90” semi-circle.  
 
For all the USB connections, I bought (2) USB hubs. The 1st one goes directly under (hidden) the foot pedals plate area.  It connects the usb to my monitors, Keyboard, TrackIR, sound volume control. Then it runs and connects directly to another USB hub, hidden directly under the seat.  It connects my Thrustmaster HOTAS, and recharge for my headset. With this set up this way, I only have (1) usb wire that runs along the left side frame and is zip tied to the frame for concealment.  
 
The monitors have (3) 15’ HDMI cables that run over to the computer, so the computer is not on the floor and is out of the way.  I have a 15’ multi outlet surge protector that also runs over to the computer area.  
 
So in all, I have only 3 HDMI cables and 1 power cable running from the computer Cpu and wall area, over to the Volair seat.  I used some floor tracking cable management tubes to hide those along the floor.  Everything else is connected to usb hubs, and power strip hidden under the rudder pedals plate.  It’s quite nice.  I have Nvidia RTX 2070 and it supports the 3 monitors being seen as one large one using “surround span displays” feature they use.  The resolution turns out being a massive 7680 x 1440.
 
I can send photos of my cable management underneath layer on. Everything is still dry-hung right now until I get the seat adjusted to the optimal setting for me (still moving seat around to fit).
 
You CANT go any bigger than 3-32” curved with the model I purchased.  It’s at the very limit. This is the model: https://www.viewsonic.com/us/vx3268-2kpc-mhd.htm

Cessna 172 with XPlane 11 Cockpit​

Cessna 172 with XPlane 11 Cockpit​

Rich S., one of our customers, just sent us an e-mail with his newly constructed cockpit based around the Volair Sim chassis and the Volair Sim Avionics Panel.

Rich writes, “I just completed the latest (but never last!) touches to my sim.  I started it in July with the Volair chassis and seat, avionics panel and triple monitor stand.  They’re awesome and form the basis for my system. I have the Logitech yoke, rudder pedals, radio, multi and switch panels.  The TPM (throttle, propeller and mixture) controls, as well as the compass and carb heat controls are from SimMax.It. 

I modified the lower right blank panel cover to provide a mount for the TPM and carb heat.  The flight instruments are displayed on a Neewer 11.6 in. touchscreen running Air Manager with a Knobster to control the rotary knobs, such as the heading bug.  I cut out the steel slats from the center of the avionics panel to fit the touchscreen in.  The lower left screen is an iPad running ForeFlight in simulator mode, which provides a moving map for situational awareness. 

The large monitors are 27 in. P2719H Dells.  The computer is a Dell 8960 desktop with an i9 9900 chip and NVIDIA 2080 graphics card.  I’m running X-Plane 11 with the Cessna 172SP Skyhawk, as it is the plane I have been flying as a private pilot (at least until COVID-19 hit!). 

I installed two Arduino Mega 2560 boards, one for the compass running MobiFlight, and the second using SimVim for the carb heat, primer and Avionics Master 2 switch, which is missing from the Logitech switch panel.  The display shows a flight over Philadelphia with the custom scenery I downloaded from X-Plane.org.  I’ve also been shooting ILS and GPS approaches with the X-Plane G530 GPS.”

 

We think that Rich’s build represent an excellent example of customer creativity and clever customization based on the foundation that is provided by the Volair Sim components. Well done!

“I use that screen (connected as a fourth display) to fullscreen Pilot2ATC.  If I can figure out how to get a fifth display running on my machine, I’ll likely add another one on the left side and move the two control panels to the middle getting rid of the iPad that’s there.  The bezels holding the ipad on are ones I designed and printed on my 3D printer.

Coping With The Pandemic-Induced Isolation

Coping With The Pandemic-Induced Isolation
  • May 20th, 2020

A heartfelt review from Adam, one of our recent customers, that made us realize that Volair Sim can help people cope with the isolation caused by the pandemic and provide an escape from the bleak world situation.

Adam writes:

“I might have a setup that is a bit different than most. I have recently migrated to VR flight for training purposes which is the reason for the one display. There are aspects I do miss about the triple monitor setup.

It’s my simulation room, the cockpit and my VR goggles. Once I load everything up I am in another world. Without the volair cockpit experience it definitely wouldn’t be as realistic as I would want it to be. The reason I say all this is because I want you and the team, even the CEO to know not only does the volairsim setup enhance my experience for training purposes but its literally been medicine for me to have this setup and configuration in my life. I am beyond thankful that I chose your company when I was on the market to make an investment into my simulation experience. The entire cockpit is modular and I have lost count on how many times I have been able to reconfigure and test new ideas out on this. We have a very short life on this planet and I’m glad there is a team of people out there producing cockpits like these. It’s changed my life and i’m almost certain that I’m not the only one.

Just wanted you and your team to know that. Thanks for all you do!”

Volair Sim Racing Set-Up

Volair Sim Racing Set-Up
  • November 8th, 2019

Since many of our customer examples focus on flight sim configurations, it is nice to see that racing enthusiasts are also using the Volair Sim to increase their driving proficiency. Below is a review from David who has built a racing sim centered around the Volair Sim chassis. David’s review:

“This is an amazing simulator Rig and built really well that I use it for Sim Racing and some VR stuff mainly racing. After three years of using the Volair Sim I have had zero problems and am glad I chose this rig. Their may be better certainly less expensive, but it is an impressive piece of equipment. The first 2 years I owned this rig I helped me improve my driving skills 100%.

With an adjustable seat that reclines and moves forward and backward makes it real comfortable to race in. With a bad back that means I can make adjustments to my seating so I can race in longer races during a race.

Volair gives you enough accessories to do a lot with your gear. I took some of them and moved them around to hold my VR head set and gloves.

The triple screen monitor stand can wiggle a little when things get exciting but not much of a distraction and not too often. Volair fixed that after my purchase with a new stand alone monitor stand.

I have 3 27” Viewsonic high end monitors that are a little beefy. One thing to look for is the monitor you choose and where the cable hook ups are for the. The vesa mount can be in the way and a cable may not fit or plug in. I had 3 beautiful no border 28” Acer monitors I had to substitute for the Viewsonic Monitors. It may not be the case with the new stand alone stand.

I had no problem with assembly or parts missing or left over and only took one short evening to assemble.

I have read reviews that people complain about what to do with wires dangling all over. Use your imagination because there’s a lot out there to take care of that.

I could ramble all day but I get lost with reviews. You won’t be disappointed with this choice so If its in you price range the pick Volair you won’t regret it.”

Example of Volair Sim With 4th Display
  • May 21st, 2019

It’s cold and rainy here in Indy, but nothing perks us up like a beautiful Volair Sim setup by one of our favorite Canadian customers.

Jean-Oliver said, “I wanted to take the time to thank you for having invented this wonderful product which for 2 years makes me experience beautiful moments of flight. I send you photos of my installations. I add a fourth screen that serves as a dashboard.”

JeanDashboard3

This fourth screen installation is really creative. We had to know more about size, installation, usage, etc. and figured everyone else would like to know too. Jean-Oliver was kind enough to send us the details:

“I only install with screw the support of my screen to your table. I can change the angle of my screen with my support. The screen does not block the field of view, but you must adjust the mount of the 3 screens to its highest.  The advantage of this fourth screen allows me to play other games that do not require 3 screens. This screen is closer to play other games. The fourth screen has 24 inch, but it is possible to install a 27 inch. The other 3 screens have 27 inches.”

The other interesting modification is the modification to the center mount in order to extend the reach of the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog joystick:

JeanJoystick2
JeanJoystick1

Jean-Olivier writes, “You can see on another picture that I have the joystick holder flipped to install an extension for this one. Here is the link for extensions (good quality).”

Great job Jean-Olivier and we think your photos and instructions will help a lot of fellow flight simmers. Thank you!
