Phoenix Simulator FPV with Goggles (My setup)

       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Just tested the Phoenix simulator using this VGA to RCA Video converter: (link)

It runs on 5V and it came with the USB and VGA cable... All I needed to add was the RCA to Goggles video cable (which came with the Attitude V2 kit).

I Extended my display to a second monitor and set that monitor to 640x480 resolution. Launched Phoenix and dragged it over to the goggles.

Phoenix has a cockpit view option, which requires you to use a 3D landscape. Once those were set, I picked a glider and was flying simulated FPV from my laptop.

Overall, I think it worked pretty well for under $6.

The glider was super easy, but the Hangar 9 Beast actually made me a little queasy.
