Flight Stim Sim??

[AirAux]

Our Squadron recently received a flight stim kit for flight simulators.  I have seen some in the past at Wing Conferences, etc.  I am trying to find out if anyone has a set of instructions for creating a flight sim set-up using PVC or something and how to hook up 4 video screens to a computer for our flight sim.  I appreciate and know the cadets will.  They love these things.  Thanks in advance.  (hey, not one mention of uniforms..)

Which uniform is required of Cadets to fly a simulator?

The rig itself will be the smallest problem.  You'll need a machine with 4 heads and a GPU capable of pushing those pixels.

You can get multi-head display stands on Amazon relatively inexpensively.  I have a triple that was about $150

It's not a complex setup, but explaining it here in anything but high-level terms won't help much as each machine is different.

Too early to turn this thread into an uniform thread...

Whichever one all the cadets can wear and be 39-1 compliant in. Flight sim operations are prime PAO opportunities.

Just choose the one that fits your budget!

There is a large and lively cockpit building movement in the Flight Sim hobby these days, ranging from the sort of simple set up that you probably envision to full blown rigs that use actual jetliner nose sections bought from the boneyard as a shell (Google Project 727 to see one of the best).

Just Google Flight sim cockpit building or something like that and you will surely land in a target rich environment!
