Chinese Fan Creates Flight Simulator With Fire, Fireworks, And Smoke Screen

A video has appeared on the Chinese platform bilibili, in which an enthusiast showed a fighter jet cockpit for flight simulators that he assembled himself. Unlike the usual gaming chairs with vibration, his installation combines mechanical mobility and pyrotechnic effects, creating the most realistic immersion.

The legendary Chinese "blyat" has assembled a fighter jet cockpit in his garage, complete with turbines, a launcher, and even an aircraft machine gun. Don't show this to your dad.

The simulator is based on a three-axis chair that synchronizes with the movement of the aircraft on the screen. However, the main element of the design was an unusual "energy management system": when the afterburner is activated, a real flame bursts out of the nozzles under the seat, simulating the operation of a jet engine. Special effects complement the picture - pneumatics reproduce flashes when firing a cannon, and when launching rockets, fireworks fly into the air. Moreover, the system can copy the firing of heat traps, scattering aluminum strips around the room.

However, the project also has its weaknesses. The design is equipped with only one monitor, which is not attached to the chair, which is why the screen constantly slips out of sight during sharp maneuvers. In addition, the pyrotechnics have to be manually reloaded after each virtual flight.
