Junji Hirayama 's Home Flight Simulator 211
hifiandrew writes "I love seeing home mockups of cockpits for Flight Simulator like the recent Slashdot article of the person who used 13 Monitors and 9 PC's. But this one takes the cake for cockpit coolness! While doing a Google search for 747 cockpits, I ran across a web site of a person in Japan who has the coolest home cockpit for Flight Simulator I've ever seen. It has a perfect built-to-scale layout, backlit panels and even a projector for the scenery! All running on relatively modest PC hardware. I'm envious!"

You know you've been slashdotted when your cockpit simulator crashes without even taking off.

To simulate a flight, I sit on the chair immediately by the window for eight hours, ask an overweight friend to sit right next to me, and ask my wife to come around every two hours with a trolley to serve us shitty coffee.
It's a very accurate simulation of a 747, and it's much cheaper than all those fancy computer displays and joysticks.

No need to be envious. For a small sum of money, you too can be running on relatively modest PC hardware!

Outlawing the construction of cockpits for flight sims would be ridiculous, and is something I highly doubt will ever happen.
You might have said the same about renaming french fries a year ago....only in America.

The slashdot effect has now officially become a means of ensuring national security. In fact, the submitter works for the Department of Internet and airspace security.
