How about one thats not certified for 4,000?--a reasonable amount.No doubt this setup was inspired buy homebuilt cockpit enthusiasts.
13,000 + 4,000 = 17,000

Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2008 7:25 amNice setup... I see it uses "an NVIDIA 512MB graphics card" hehe.
I would probably lower the screens quite a bit though, they seem extremely high, but it looks like it has everything that is needed to a basic simpit.

The FAA-approved software uses a "2D cockpit" display; no mechanical gauges are needed.
The price for FAA approval is ridiculous; cheaper to pay by the hour in an approved sim at a flight school for your IR requirements. Much cheaper.
