Since the first time I saw James Price's website showcasing his 737 sim I've been in awe at how these home sims are turning out. I'd really like to have one but due to the very big monetary set back that these things cost to build and the knowledge that I don't have. I'd just like to ask you guys to post your websites and the cuty you guys are from that'd be great......you guys are very lucky to be able to build your own cockpit.

If you think we the sim builder lucky, You could be lucky too... what holding you? go and gather some infos and build one of your own :-abduct, and after all you would just feel statisfied :-beerchug.

It's easier and cheaper than you think... Us old-timers have already learned all the hard lessons for you!www.avsim.com/bluesideup

I think if iv hit the $25 mark yet I may be overbudget... Just start with somthing simple then expand as you goheres my web page on my Low budget job..http:home.attbi.com~cockpitsimulatorI still haven figured out what kind of a plane it is yet!!!pete

Here's what's holding me back:-I'm 18, live @ home.-Working on my PPL.-Have a new car-have no programing/electrical or such experience/knowledge.-Oh yeah, to get a nice cockpit to fit both capt/fo, it gonna cost a few $1000's!

Trust me, it CAN get quite expensive!

PeterK18...no wife..No house..No kids..No new Ford Windstar at $32KTime to shut the TV off and build a cockpit...Http://home.attbi.com/~cockpitsimulatorpeterK

I'm 20 and I live at home, I'm working on my PPL, and I just got a new car too (Porsche Boxster). I don't make much money and my parents don't make much either... matter of fact, I'm in college, so the little money I do make mostly goes to school (and car note ). YOU CAN DO IT!! It just takes time. I started on mine when I was like 15, so it's taken 5 years to get to where it is now, but it's been TOTALLY worth it. I started not too long after Ray Sotkiewicz, so I concur with his statement... us old-timers took care of the difficult stuff (getting the information) :-lol It used to take an average of nearly two years for a simmer to transition from research to construction. Now simmers are starting after a few short months. All you have to do is start and believe that it will expand as you are ready!Just build something, anything, and watch where it goes from there. $5 here $20 there... A $15,000 simulator is not so bad when you're buying it $50 at a time :-lolRobert PratherThe 777 Projecthttp://www.777Project.cjb.net

Well, you must say... you got to invest in your money on your project. I remember I started it when I was 19 years old, and 7 years from then,which I am 26 years old, I've been spending over 3 to 5K dollars on 727 and 757 project, and never get over with it. Its been going up and down. so all it take you to be a wise investor.

See, even my cousin agrees :-lolJust kiddin' Arthur :-)Robert F Prather, Jr.

Home built simulators can cost more than a light aircraft. I am building a full scale Twin Otter and I am into my 3rd

PeterK My cockpit was a light aircraft HI HI....If iv spent $25 so far,,,Its amazing what you can trade or barter with the aircraft boneyardowner...My Mooney was a trade for an old generator... Check out http://home.comcast.net/~fs-boneyardOk its not the ultimate 777 pc wiz machine but im flying in style.. I think getting yourself into debt for hobby is beyond my walletssize..Having fun for less $$$ pete
