I'm currently helping my brother in law building a small simulator ( Cessna, half cockpit... ) But it won't be near as nice as this one. Better not show him this linK!!!!! Well done..... I'd build an Apache though! More action... more fun. Frerik

 Re: Wonder if Johnny has one of these?
Why would he want that when he has the real thing to play with Impressive stuff though and a reminder of how much technology has advanced. Many years ago as a cadet in the ATC, we went on a week long camp to RAF Wittering where the 233 Harrier OCU squadron is based. I was lucky enough to get to fly their Harrier simulator - fantastic experience - especially for a 14 year old! However, in those days the simulator was based across two hangers in which were several huge model countrysides etc and a large gantry crane on which a camera was mounted which fed images back to the cockpit. Amazing how it has gone from that to a full on system in someone's home garage Gary

 Re: Wonder if Johnny has one of these?
Nice find Woody! I can't stand commercial flight simulators though. I get bored and try to do aerobatics in a 747 or similar  I prefer combat types like IL-2, I then get to shoot and blow things up Check out this driving simulator I found on youtube. Not quite the same, but still looks plenty of fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Cmel8rvjU&list=FLDidMJ-X__bn2aEaRN8qBkw&index=50&feature=plpp_video

 Re: Wonder if Johnny has one of these?
That is cool Andrew! It's a pretty violent reaction when he crashes at the end Funny though, the next video that played was about weathering Olive Drab. Just in time for the 105 Howitzer i'm building Woody...
