My pawpaw used to have a small plane flight simulator when I was a kid and I’m amazed how realistic it is now. I would love to have one of these at home. Does anybody have flight simulators at the house you practice on and how Much is it for a basic flight simulator?

Who doesn’t have one?

Do you think we all live in a barn?

I was just wondering is it hard to learn, do you have to have any knowledge before getting started, and how much is it for a basic setup?

I don’t but there are some videos on YouTube of some of the guys setups that are mind blowing. Those guys have way too much time on their hands! Those guys go to plane junk yards and rob the seats and dashboards.

I have the yolk unit and foot peddles hooked up to my computer with the X-Plane software. No need for an actual simulator unless your flying heavy iron or fighter jets. I think it was less than $500 for the yolk, peddles and software.

No desire for that. I already experienced the pinnacle in transportation simulators:

Microsoft is releasing an updated version of Flight Simulator this year and it looks amazing. As far as a flight simulator at home, no I don’t. I’m not an OT baller but I was recently promoted to lead fry cook

We have a fight simulator. We don’t talk about it though.

Not sure about a flight simulator, but I know a semi pro car racer that has a 100k simulator at his home

I remember doing these in driver ed at Scotlandville High. The footage was packed full of jump scares, and no one could ever pass the manual module.

The seat belt is a bit much.
