A Flight Simulation / Car Racing Simulation Center that has (4) Simulators / Sim-pits hooked up and networked together that I found here locally in the Triad... Located in Kernersville, North Carolina
When I went to search Google to find other information and more out about the Local Flight Simulation Center, I found where one of our local news stations had actually done a news report on the place

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. -- The Wright Stuff - Flight Simulation Center -- the place to get your head in the clouds -- with your feet still on the ground.
Wright Stuff in Kernersville features flight simulators that can give the experience of flying anything from a small Cessna to a World War II fighter
The Flight Simulation Center has its own personal website : http://www.wrghtstff.com/
Google Information: type the following "the wright stuff - flight simulation center, pineview drive, kernersville, nc" in Google and hit search. The very first thing that shows up at the top of the search results will be the result you should check out....
Hope some of y'all find it interesting

I had a similar dream (business plan, sorta) for this kind of thing. A dozen or so sim pits in a building fashioned to resemble an aircraft carrier. It didn't take off (ptp). :airplane: :old:

Fifty bucks an hour? What are those guys smoking?

The Marine Veteran opened this business back in 2015 and has recently been discussing possibly moving to a larger building to where he can up his connected Sim-pits from 4 currently upwards of 20 to maybe even 100...
He also has a "portable 4 Sim-pits setup" to where he can go host events at places like the Aviation Museum off of Highway 64 up the road over in Asheboro, where perdweeb lives, that the guy did within the last year...
As for his pricing, he has a lot of Groupon coupon offerings to where a regular $100.00 price is discounted down to like $44.00 +/- ... etc.... ( lot of different types of coupons/discounts )
He apparently seems to stay busy with booked up reservations....
With him also offering VR / 3D IE...Oculus rift, etc.. (currently only for the A-10 Warthog simulation only)
It might be of possible interest in some way(s) for HTC.....or maybe not.... One never knows

Back in the day a member here was running the same type of shop, iirc he went by Xmarine.
As previously mentioned at $50 an hour the owner either sells or uses a lot of drugs.

For us Carolina folks we have found our hangout spot, let’s do it after the scenario, a Saturday in July!

Good gawd...
When I was in multi the PA-44 Seminole was $144 an hour (instructor was extra). I nicknamed it "Whistling Debt" (because they whistled when they flew over and cost a nickel a second to fly back then). When I was holding short I would sit there and go, "Ka-ching! Ka-ching! Ka-ching!" until I got to fifty cents. "That's a soda. Ka-ching! Ka-ching!"
Wound up doing my MEI and MEII somewhere else. Local flying club. They charged based on the tach for the right engine. Guess which one we shut down all the time for single-engine work up high? Yep.
:D

Me on my second landing. Earning my $100 an hour. Engine quit after I forgot that $100/hr didn't include fuel.

LOL! Epic.
That reminds me of another story from my younger days. The Mexican smugglers would use 206s and the like to haul drugs in from Tamaulipas into the Valley. There was one guy who had an engine failure and had to deadstick that sucker onto the northern part of South Padre Island. So, rather than lose the airplane, they unloaded all the drugs then brought in a Maule or some such to recover the airplane. They hitched a cable around the propeller hub of the 206 and pulled that sucker out of there like a C-47/CG-4 combo. :rofl

In 1999 this company was trying to expand nation wide as a sports bar combat simulator chain. They opened a center in Redwood City near Stanford University in an IT park. My IT manager took our team there for a team building event to celebrate our Y2K work. After our HtH team combat sortie, he got pissed becasue my time playing AW since it's early days made my coworkers and him easy to shoot down. I wiped out his team while my team all augured into the canyons our fight started in. I was the only one from both teams still in the air at the end after I killed his team. So he called it foul and wanted me to give back the winners prizes. There was no rear view, only a directional indicator on a DAR display in the simmpit while the world and action was projected on a wall in front of the pit. I sprained my thumb trying to cycle through views out of habit that were not there with the none functional hat switch. Looks like they never expanded into WW2 fighters like was being used as a Marketing hook to bring in more customers back then.
