Gamers Overkill

This can only be termed as EXCESSIVE.

I saw a Piper Cub for sale at the local field....for only a few hundred more than that system....I had to edit this because that 1600 dollar price tag was for the instrument panel alone.....You could have a real plane for the cost of the whole system and have some $ for pilot training

i saw a program on the discovery channel about a guy who bought the cockpit section of an old 727 built a garage to house it and wired the thing up to play games with. HE had several projectors display images on screens hung outside the cockpit and used like 8-10 PCs to run all of this. I think the whole thing cost him like 300k.

thats actually pretty cool.

He almost has himself a real trainer there accept for the fact that their is no real time motion.

I have seen Instructors Station's at small local airports that have not much more then a mouse and keyboard with no flight yoke.

If this guy wanted to he could get rookie pilots completely immersed into flight basic's and Full instrumentation use. The advantages of flying one of his simulators would be outstanding.

Imagine if WWII pilots could have flown a Spitfire or Hurricane on one of these stations for even 20 hours before they got into a real one. I heard some of those kids had less then 5 hours before going up into combat for the first time.

Well I would consider a real time motion integrated system to be a closed environment on hydraulic rams and the person's would be able to feel almost all of the available flight model plugged into the computer platform accept for inverted flight.

Not sure what you are getting at Russ ? If you are talking about inverted flight the Shuttle contrary to any concept of many will not fly upside down in fact it can't fly upside right it is a brick falling out of the air that is under minimal control through very small flight surfaces. It's primary goal of the flight computers and pilots in re-entry to the earths atmosphere is to get the falling brick lined up with the runway before it ever gets near the ground.

As far as military fighters they are weapons platforms and are not indented to fly inverted to deliver their weapons loads. In fact the more stable a weapons platform is the more accurate it can hit it's target. A tactical interceptor aircraft is strictly a fighter and it is designed to perform acrobatics in any given task to take the other aircraft out of the sky. However flying inverted or in any other angle of flight slows an aircrafts speed and exposes flight surfaces to enemy fire and displays a larger aircraft target to radar and other tracking systems.

Inverted flight is spectacular and better left as eye candy for air shows and the Movies but hardly practical or even allowed in military applications accept for training and Tactical interceptor applications. 40 ton high performance jet interceptors that cost millions are hardly ever found flying inverted.

The first Interceptor aircraft was designed in Canada called the Avro Arrow and was the first aircraft to have a computer onboard and the reason it needed a computer was it was so fast the pilot after engaging a target and then wanting to return home would be lost without the computer. Normal piston aircraft and slower jet design aircraft had a pilot using various tracking and mapping hardware that allowed the pilot to track his course through his mission then return home based on his prior figures. When mankind got into an aircraft design that became the first true Interceptor a pilot could find themselves thousands of mile from home base in minutes leaving them little time to do the hardware math. If they got into a combat situation the disorientation of the high speed acrobatics could put them another 500 miles off their course in a very few minutes.

Aspects of the science involved in the Avro Arrow are used in the design of most modern military jet fighters today as well as the space shuttle. At the time the Avro Arrow was conceived it's duty would have been to intercept nuclear missiles from Russia and shoot them down at extremely high altitudes. A nuclear device detonated only 2 miles above the ground will leave only trace elements of radiation on the surface most of the radio active material is dissipated into the atmosphere.

Russia tested the largest atomic device ever man made in I think 1963 because JFK was still alive. The device was codenamed the CZAR and it was detonated 2 miles above a Siberian landscape in upper Russia and scientist's could fly in by helicopter just a few days after the test to walk the ground.

Darn! He could open a store and start out better stocked than Wal-Mart.
