They are available quite cheap, you buy the simulating consul hardware and the software is out there on the web, allows you to fly into just about any airport in the world.

Amazing. A home made sim. If it weren't for the title on the video, you would think it was an actual flight and never suspect this is a homemade sim.

Wonder what this thing cost to build?
Now that's a home entertainment system.

But heavies are boring. I would have made it a fighter sim.

That setup is nowhere near cheap unless your pockets are many times deeper than mine. He probably has several thousand in high end gaming systems alone. I will bet that cockpit is an actual 747 cockpit hardware. It must have taken months if not years to build.

But flight sims can be anything that you want. You can break the sound barrier in a 747. Do loops or whatever you want. Dial in some extreme waether and have all sorts of fun.

BTW He is a heavy pilot so guess that is why he built it. I wonder if it is good enough to count for his sim time at his job??

Crashing planes into buildings is so Last Week.

Thermonuclear powered anthrax spores injected into deep rock strata to cause pressure buildup in surface magma chambers precipitating global ice age.

If I was ISIS I would be so proud!
