If you fancy building yourself a home cockpit, now might be the time to start, with a massive 60% saving on the price of Sim Cockpit Systems - Aircraft Cockpit FX. Normally priced at $395, you can now get started on your project for just $149.95.

The FIGHTER AIRCRAFT COCKPIT FX offers a realistic simulator cockpit environment accommodating a LCD monitor and a scenery projection image visible through the front, left and right side windows. The stunning scenery presentation gives the impression of being more in an aircraft as opposed to being in front of a computer monitor. The field of view allows the feel of speed and facilitates runway tracking on take off and flare on landing. The generic design feature for aircraft using a joystick will bring your flight simulation experience to a new level. At this time only Microsoft Flight Simulator offers operation of multiple monitors on one computer. The instruments are displayed on the main monitor and the scenery is generated by the projector. Other simulation software suitability has to be determined by the user.

To use the Fighter Aircraft Cockpit FX as designed, a suitable computer with the required video card outputs, monitor, a projector, sufficient space and proper set-up is required. In order to drive the monitor and the projector, a newer generation type of computer with a dual output video card is required. Instead of a projector, another option is to use the Matrox TripleHead2Go along with three monitors for the scenery presentation. In this case mount a simple wall shelf to display the monitors at the windows opening height and move the cockpit towards the monitors.
