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

http://myfox8.com/2018/06/05/a-best-kept-kernersville-secret-the-wright-stuff-flight-simulation-center/

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:

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.
To each their pwn.
