Two guys up in Alta, Northern Norway has taken their flightsim hobby to the extreme. The guy on the left in the video is a pilot, and flies 737s for Norwegian. The guy on the right in Kjetil, who owns the simpit. He's a truck driver by profession.
Title reads: "Buckle up, Kjetil has a Boeing 737 in the basement!"

21 million? Think id buy a P-38 and get lessons to fly for real. Cool though

That was the price tag for a "real" 737 simulator. His DIY version cost him about a hundred thousand Dollars US.

The translation would be: The professional simulators cost comparison 21 million. And when we talk about dollars.

Pffff. *sniff* <nose in the air> ;)
While I'll admit my pit is not as impressive, it is a lot of fun and more flexible i.e. combat sim, civilian flight sim, space flight sims, tanking sims, etc etc. :D
I really do need to post some pics soon....
-
Yes you do!

Yeah, but Ink has a sword or an axe...

reminds me of that song
Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
but he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Kerplop!
like I said...its good to have dreams, and both of ya can dream about me all ya want. :o
-
Yeah, but Ink has a sword or an axe...
Zack would take that off him and bend it obviously thus rendering it useless :rolleyes:
-
Yes I would then own Ink :old:

Darn, I understand, like most swedes, Norwegian, but these guys where not that easy to understand.
I met one guy from Stavanger, en route back from Bangkok , was as easy as understanding Swahili :)
Nice sim !!
-
Zack would definately own Ink. Unless Zack showed up in his GMC 4x4.
Then Ink would roundhouse kick it into the nearest wall. :old:

Yes we are in advertising as well :old:
Do you think Zack would easily beat up Ink or not? :headscratch:

Mainstream Swedish is easy to understand for me, but I have a hard time understanding anyone from Skåne. ;)
-

Yeah... But then it became about whether or not Pervert's boyfriend can beat up Ink. Personally I doubt it.
-
A pity. I'd personally like to hear from others in the community on the topic of simpits i.e. who has one? who is planning to build buy one? etc etc etc.
The ego-driven chest thumping (even when performed in jest, as is the case here) are themes which get more than enough forum coverage.

FYI - One of the SimHQ forum users is starting his simpit business....with motion. Looks kinda neat!

Might have to sell the Obutto for this one. :D
-
Looks kinda neat, but the motion is very simplistic.

I no longer have mine. I built it myself and flew from it for many years. Once I started drawing again it was inconvenient to draw on the computer in there and getting a second computer wasn't allowed by the wife ack. So I sold the shell for $100 and built the desk.

Dang Fugi the old blue was nice, the desk set up you have now is what I have used and any future versions will be similar, although the corner desk is unique were did you purchase that if you don't mind, I could use one. :aok

Was an awefully neat setup. I'm off to the garage to build me one!
Or maybe off the the garage to try nailing wood together and realizing that I'm as handy as a plastic fork in use of a home defense weapon. :cry
-
Very cool Fugitive! What aircraft did you model the simpit from, or is it just generic?

Awwww it's not that hard! I built mine to come apart into 6 pieces. The room it was going to go into had a small door so I had to be able to get it in there. Plans changed as to the location....wife didn't want me tucked away in the basement all the time... so It went into the sunroom upstairs. I built it out of cardboard ... refrigerator box..first to get some measurements and off I went!

I was flying the hog a lot back then and I thought the shape would fit both the 20 inch CRT under the "windscreen" and my big old self in the seat :neener: so I kinda went by the hog. Thats why the green interior and the blue outside.

Nice! And I see you're a fellow Trekkie as well :aok

Zack would destroy Ink IRL. No doubt about it.
