I did a search today for better flight simulator controls, and stumbled across this guy, who has build a full scale 737 cockpit in his home in Las Vegas:

Pretty cool.  Looks like he sticks the landing on 9 0.

He's good.

Here's where he shows what he's built.  No.  Sorry.  That's in the next post.

If anyone has a problem with their wife wanting the equipment out of the living room, I suggest showing this video.  The simulator is in his living room.


Sorry, that's the wrong video.  And it's dinner time.  Here's his page:

Looks like a fire hazard

I once had a 8 foot by 8 foot train set in the living room, to get to the kitchen you had to crawl under it.

I love it.

Is there room for a 24' curved screen somewhere at JRiver?
