A friend of mine in Austria has a much more ambitious one in his basement:

A shot I took while preparing to taxi out of Chicago O'Hare:

Has the full 737-800 cockpit built from parts he's purchased online, plus short throw projectors outside the windows so it feels much more realistic than LCD screens. Airline pilots buy time in his simulator, and I can see why: it's so doggone realistic that it had me sweating.
There's something much, much more realistic when you're putting your hands on real metal flight deck components to set trim, throttle, etc.
- dorfsmay 8y agoWhat software does he run for the simulation?
- BrentOzar 8y ago> What software does he run for the simulation? Microsoft Flight Simulator if I remember right, but with all kinds of third party add-ons to support all the flight deck controls via USB. He's @aschenbrenner on Twitter if you want to talk to him about it.
- dorfsmay 8y agoI have to wonder how close the flight characteristics of MS FS are to a 787, and how MS got all that information.
- Pharmakon 8y agoThis is so cool I just got chills. I’d consider time in that sim just for fun, and the prices seem reasonable.
