Please put your seat in the upright position… bathrooms are located down the hall past the living room!

In 1998 I began the design and constuction of my 747-400 simulator. The approximate size of the simulator is 13ft wide x 11ft long and 9ft high. It will include every switch and panel in the 747-400. The Simulator has been built to accept full motion and visuals at a later date. -Link

Dude, that is AWESOME!!! watch out for the government knocking at your door….. “Sir, we are aware that you have a flight sim in your home, have you had ‘suspicious people’ wanting to rent it?” “are you provinding flight lessons to dubious people?”

I have been wanting to do this for a number of years. I would like to do just a one seater, such as the Korean conflict Sabre jet. But I just didn’t know where to start. Seeing your simulator really inspires me. Any tips you may have would be greatly appreciated. If not just let me say, you sure did one heck of a job! I wonder what your profession might be.
Thanks for the inspiration,
Bill
