For you hard core AH'ers

While browsing online for info on simpits i found this http://www.mydreamflyer.com/welcome.html#. Hmm, i wonder if the wife would notice a sizable amount gone from the account.

Looks like it would be alot of fun. I like the three monitors. I did not see the pricing? Thats never a good thing.

I'd definitely want to try it before I bought it, and I doubt I would be willing to pay the price. On the other hand, if it's as good as advertised, it might be worth it. The chair looks comfy. It's using Saitek controls, so don't know how they are vs the CH products I'm using.

looked on one of the resellers websites, $10,500.00

Some metal tubing, a racing seat and they want $3,600.00 for it. No need to wonder why we are going into a recession.

Unless you have a strong bladder, you would spend more time strapping yourself in and out of the thing then playing the game.  unless they have a built in piss bag, then where do I buy one !!!!!!!!

I'm building something like that.  I've taken a dentist's chair, mounting my stick on the right arm rest and the throttle on the left.  Once I get it built I'll post pics.  Now all I need is for someone to buy me some pedals 

[Kazaa]

Ah what a load of crap this thing is gents.

Look how much throw you need to move the stick forward and back, he's almost falling out of the chair, no not for me.

[SectorNine50]

It doesn't simulate anything correctly either.  When you tilt the stick to the left, the thing rolls left... not at all simulating the feel of rolling left.  the instant you straighten the stick it straightens.  Really should be tilt to the left, the thing rocks to the right, and vice versa.  Can't imagine it feels real.

[Grayeagle]

Interesting idea .. the stick is anchored at the bottom, movin the stick pivots the chair.

As mentioned above, huge throws involved would be limiting factor.
No fast radical movements

You'd be smooth.. ie: tracking target.

Overpriced beyond comprehension.

and why the hell did he use an X52?

[Anodizer]

To date, I have not seen on viable contraption such as this.  The movements are all wrong. 
The only way to get flight simming as real as possible(for the average consumer) is Track-IR, 3 screens, and a HOTAS set up.  Personally, I'd much rather have a set-up like this minus the
half-arsed contraption that is better at making me vomit (due to the money involved AND the jerky motion) than making get immersed in the game. 
Surround sound would be nice too or a really great pair of headphones.  Other than that, these things are a waste of money.
They do not track movement correctly and are prone to constant problems that usually involve unreasonable amounts of money to fix.
This stuff is no different than the Deluxe version AfterBurner.

Roger that Anodizer..

Full motion needs to have no outside reference (seein the walls of the room it's in is a disconnect)
..I followed the links on youtube and saw a couple very nice full motion setups that
..if they had no outside reference
.. would be pretty much right on.
The one that shows the chair tilt back when power is added,
..tilt forward when throttle is closed,
..bumped an jarred on the ground ..ya
.. bet that one could make ya 'get into it' if he had a bubble around it or was in a darkened room
