January 12, 20188 yr Moderator A friend of mine shared a picture of his new home simulator. He lives in Las Vegas, and had a new addition to his home constructed, and commissioned this B777 "home cockpit". ~$600,000 including the building addition. It is run by six computers loaded with P3Dv4 (started with P3Dv3): Edited January 13, 20188 yr by n4gix Removed the "not" from "not including"... Fr.

January 12, 20188 yr Author Moderator No, he has no wife at present. He owns a number of businesses but is not a real pilot. He has a lot of active and retired commercial pilot friends who are teaching him how to "fly" his modest simulator. Fr.

January 12, 20188 yr I've got to plan a vacation trip somewhere, maybe Nevada--does he rent this out when he's not using it? Forever indebted to the late Michael Greenblatt of FSGS.
January 12, 20188 yr Do you happen to know if those are behind screen projectors ... would love to see this in motion as I can't see any image overlap at all. Very nice indeed. Cheers, Rob.
January 12, 20188 yr Looks nice. But if you're going to dump $600k on this, and not go 6 DoF? _________________________________ -Dan Everette CFI, CFII, MEI 7900X OC @ 4.8GHz | ASRock Fatal1ty X299 Professional | 2 x EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 (SLI) | 32GB G.Skill DDR4 2800
January 12, 20188 yr I could buy a Piper Arrow III with less than 3,000 hrs TT for 1/5th the price and have a moving platform. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
January 12, 20188 yr With VR, it will probably make a lot of these obsolete. Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

January 12, 20188 yr 45 minutes ago, birdguy said: I could buy a Piper Arrow III with less than 3,000 hrs TT for 1/5th the price and have a moving platform. Noel Only problem there is you will have ongoing costs each and every year, year in, year out. This is from an aircraft owner! David Porrett
