I knew a pilot who worked part time running a pro flight simulator out in Townsville, Australia. I could tell it was MS Flight Simulator at the core, despite all the cockpit panels and displays. When I walked around behind it, I saw that all of the gauge clusters were each individual screens and there appeared to be several machines with multiple video cards running the output. He told me the entire setup was over $11k, which made me wonder what percentage of that were the individual parts, versus all the development costs in making that setup.
