Ready F-16 cockpit frame for builders or full F-16 simulator – order at…

// May 15th, 2014 // F-16 simulators

Welcome back, Aviators! Making long story short, here is the place to start your journey with your own F-16 cockpit but also F-18 or F-35 simulator. Gents, welcome to VIPER WING!
Generally, VIPER WING offers ready, assembled, professionally produced (30 years experienced facility, in the EU) F-16 frame (skeleton) replicas and full F-16 simulators worldwide (pictures, video and prices are available at: www.viperwing.com – you will find there also customer’s reviews), which are great base for both – cockpits which are to be based on touch screens, as well as the ones with switches. It comes with ACES inspired ejection seat replica – ejection seat found in such aircraft as F-16, A-10, F-15 (yes! You may order it in black!), F-22, F-117A, B-1B, WB-57, and B-2.

Full solution, which is called Hybrid VIPER, is based on physical instruments as well as touch screens, which makes it the fastest implementation of fully functional F-16 simulator anywhere. Mind, we are talking about all major functionalities that you may find in the best F-16 simulation software (BMS, Prepar3d, DCS). There is also option available of a Fully Physical unit, with all knobs and switches.

It is common to find other offers on the sim market, which are really giving you the shell with limited functions. Not here! Hybrid VIPER gives you all – you may even ramp start the cold jet, according to procedure (turn on the jet). That’s why VIPER WING’s cockpits were chosen to serve the needs of simulation centers in many countries. Of course, we also have the satisfied individual aviators using them at their homes worldwide.

Fully equipped cockpits come with strong PC workstations, main physical instruments and screens inside the pit. VIPER WING Hybrid VIPER offers physical instuments where you mostly use them (in front of you – like ICP replica, DED replica, MFDs) and mostly sides are based on touch screens with realistic layout. Fully Physical cockpit on the other hand is a replica with all physical knobs and switches.

What is interesting, VIPER WING also produces backlit ICP keyboard replica for these frames (connected with just one USB!). It comes with a software so you may easly define keys by yourself.

Apart from sim centers and individuals worldwide, VIPER WING delivered the frames to Rockwell Collins (international corporation specializing in professional aviation electronic solutions, also for military industry – for example Rockwell Collins has been awarded a contract to provide Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Air Force with sustainment services for cockpit displays on F-22 aircraft. They are also developing F-35 pilot helmets). Rockwell Collins used the VIPER WING F-16 cockpit simulator frame for the demonstrator system, at the open house held at the new Rockwell Collins Simulation and Training Center of Excellence. Here you have some review of their great solution.

Twice being part of world’s biggest international flight simulation event in Netherlands (FS Weekend), VIPER WING were exhibitors displaying the frame and the early F-35 simulator (now available in advanced replica version) Follow the news at VIPERWING.com and updated Facebook fan page to get to know about surprises they are currently working on.

One of interesting elements is optional, modular, light and affordable curved projection screen – take a look how it looks in this short video (turn on your speakers) and please check the web site for the newer versions of the cockpit (there is a huge progress with this cockpit each year):

To sum it up a bit – as I mentioned, it’s the fastest built F-16 simulator for sure and it includes:

– VIPER WING frame with ACES seat replica (F-16 fuselage is optional in case of Hybrid unit and in case of Fully Physical unit, it is already included),

– based on best F-16 cockpit simulator software with war environment (DCS, Prepar3d, BMS),

–  screens (some of them are touch screens in case of a Hybrid version – available as physical knobs and switches in Fully Physical version of the simulator) in the cockpit frame + main screen of your choice (not included: front screen, 1 or 3 projectors or LED screen, etc.),

– ICP keyboard backlit replica,

– DED replica,

– physical MFDs,

– working Head Up Display (HUD), with specially cut, reflective glass reflecting LED image,

– F-16 HOTAS replica (stick and throttle replica with pressure sensor mode – stick is working like in a real fighter jet) or HOTAS without pressure sensor,

– combat rudder pedals,

– Windows based, built-in, custom PC Workstation (i7 processor, graphic cards, fast RAM, fast SSD disk), with all needed configuration files, ready to go.

Frame production takes 4 weeks after frame payment – they are produced by 30 years experienced company with modern CNC machines, in the EU. The whole cockpit can be usually ready in about 8-9 weeks from the order.

The unit comes safely packed on Euro pallets, so it is delivered ready to your door.
