May 24, 201511 yr Ye i'm pretty sure she will still kill you :rolleyes: Its pretty tidy though all the same
May 24, 201511 yr There are versions that are a bit smaller then that and sit on the ground. I saw a video of someone who made the front of a car with dashboard etc, put in a wheel, gear shift and peddles which was a nice idea, maybe a little over the top though. I don't think anything beats the video I saw of someone's home 737 simulator, complete with 2 or projectors, fully modelled, and it took up a whole room in his house. Here it is found it (he sold it in the end though) Of course we can't forget Matt Sheil's 747 simulator, his is in in his house though http://www.hyway.com.au/747/747.php Chris Smith
May 24, 201511 yr The second video is definately a candidate for wives becoming sim widows! Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
May 24, 201511 yr At least its neater than a lot of the Wife-is-gonna-kill-you type setups I see pictured sprawled across people's livingrooms! It actually looks cool! Watching that video clip reminds me that there's a certain amount of madness involved in flight-simming and gaming. For example, imagine you had that motion (flight)sim in your living-room and that you were happily absorbed 'flying' it; meanwhile some relatives visit your house but your wife, partner or mother fails to alert you to this fact (you know how tetchy you get when disturbed ;-). Meanwhile everyone is sitting round watching this noisy mechanical box flopping around the room with the sound of aircraft engines screaming from it..and the occasional curse. ;-) Watch again and imagine.... https://youtu.be/uxBTvmnqdW4?t=90

May 24, 201511 yr At least put it in the garage, or basement! You'd certainly need to with this one.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT18nJhXgaY
May 24, 201511 yr I don't see prices listed. Is this one of those, "if you need to ask, you can't afford it" item? lol. 10850K, MSI Unify Z490, 32gb G.Skill Ripjaw 3600 CL16, MSI 5700 XT 8gb, Nochua NH-U12a, WD 500gb Black SSD (OS- Windows 10 Pro), Samsung 2tb Evo plus SSD (games), Superflower 850 watts power supply
May 24, 201511 yr Author You'd certainly need to with this one.... Yup, seen those before. The reason I like the one I posted was that it's just so much sleeker and that it really looks so much like the outside of a "real" simulator. This one in your video kinda scares me. I see it being a cat, dog, and kid hazard, and imagining how you would run and place wiring just makes me cringe Its probably also a barf-hazard as well......... Wife "Honey, did you throw up again?"
