Where every
adventure begins.
Flight simulation. Streaming. Community flights. One very purple cockpit.
This is the cockpit.
Behind every gPilot004 departure is a setup built around flying, monitoring and sharing the journey. The simulator sits front and centre, surrounded by the screens, EFBs, streaming tools and the machine keeping it all in the air.
Somewhere wonderfully in between. 💜✈️
Built to look as good as it flies.
The Flight Deck combines serious simulation hardware with the colours and personality of gPilot004 — purple cabin lighting, aviation artwork, flowers, glass and a little bit of sparkle.
The HYTE Y70 Touch turns the front of the machine into its own window above the clouds, complete with a custom gPilot004 aviation display.
The cabin lights are dimmed for departure.
Look through the glass and the official gPilot004 logo sits at the heart of the build on the NZXT Kraken Elite display, surrounded by Lian Li SL-Infinity fans and the glow of the Trident Z5 Royal memory.
🌸 Yes, those are roses.
Soft Taro Milk roses sit amongst the hardware, balancing the glass, RGB and metal with something unmistakably gPilot004. Because apparently an RTX 5070-powered flight simulator also needed flowers. 😌
Under all the sparkle…
The hardware actually doing the flying.
The CPU at the centre of the Flight Deck.
Powering the virtual skies and simulator visuals.
The white foundation tying the build together.
32GB DDR5-6400 CL30.
360mm AIO featuring the official gPilot004 logo on its display.
120mm and 140mm fans surrounding the Flight Deck in purple light.
Solid-state storage for the system and simulator.
1000W power supply.
Panoramic chassis with the defining vertical touchscreen.
The controls I actually fly with.
The Flight Deck is more than the PC. These are the controls and creature comforts that turn the desk into my little corner of the flight deck.
Thrustmaster TCA Officer Pack Airbus Edition
My Airbus-style sidestick and dual-engine throttle quadrant — the hardware doing the actual flying when the mouse deserves a day off.

ONEX EV12 Evolution — Deep Purple
Because four-hour sectors, long streams and building Ava are much nicer when my back isn't filing its own incident report. Purple was obviously non-negotiable. 💜

And that's still not everything.
Displays, EFBs, audio and streaming equipment surround the main Flight Deck and keep the simulator, stream and community connected during a flight.
The virtual skies are bigger than one screen.
gPilot004 also flies within online and virtual aviation communities — giving the routes somewhere to belong beyond Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Where I fly and log virtual airline sectors, routes and adventures across the network.

Built to fly. Made to be mine.
It's powerful enough to spend hours crossing virtual skies, pretty enough that I apparently put roses inside it, and unmistakably part of gPilot004.
Welcome to the Flight Deck. 💜✈️
