I have a friend who is a pilot for UPS and he has built a similar set up.

He’s a flight nerd.

I am glad this has been cleared up that it is a homemade Simulator, not the full blown Multi-Million Dollar jobbies pilots train in for time in Type and that is all they fly until they actually get in a cockpit after they are certified for that Type.

Again the Lame Streams drop the ball.

CC is right, their is a sub-culture of flight nerds that build these things, w/ joysticks, flatscreens, Flight Simulator Software and electro-hydraulics actuators that can simulate movement many of these folks have made cockpit clones that would amaze many...
