DreamFlyer have released details of their gimbal framed full motion platform for flight simulators that has taken over 5 years to develop. The device simulates movement, pitch, roll, vibration, pilot lead and pilot-induced oscillation!
I might have to try and clear some room in the attic for this one 
The device appears to be in the late stages of development (check out the very impressive web site) and close to being released. The following videos are of a prototype system:
No specific price is mentioned, but it does state “no other product on the market offers this level of full motion flight simulation for less than $3,600″, so I guess that’s what they’re aiming at.

double up on that tubing I want 360 degree rotation for those barrel rolls
LOL! Now that would be something

yup bump, need 360
I can see that leading to one or two wiring issues

Price is 2800.00 USD + shipping and handling. Far more exciting than a shuffleboard table for 3500.00! Business anylists are calling it the “Trivial Pursuit” of this decade!
Question…came across this site just recently. With a name like “Flight Sim X” is this owned by Microsoft of independent?
Wow! I was impressed with this flight sim and the website is very cool wwwmydreamflyer.com Actually felt like leafing thru a aviation magazne…guess that was the intent
. Someone asked about price earlier – it’s actually under the “order now” page at 2800.00.
Yeah, blogs seem to be filling up with chatter about this flight sim. Never known a product of this caliber being available to the public! Sure beats sitting at my computer desk using with a joystick!
Does look pretty impressive, doesn’t it?

It’s a very well done site, isn’t it? 2,800 is quite a bit lower than the price I saw – not bad at all.

Hi Dan. FlightSimX is an independent site, run by yours truly. Keep up the visits

Well, it looks as though Microsoft thinks highly of this Dreamflyer also & is the best way to play their all new Flight Simulator Acceleration expansion pack. Check this story out which was just released after a media event in Toronto, Canada

Wow! After reading the article, I just checked out their new website http://www.mydreamflyer.com The promotional video really rocks! OK…gotta have one now!
The creator of the Dreamflyer must be pretty pleased if Microsoft are showing an interest

I’ve tried the production “Dream Flyer”. I never thought my little contraption would fly to this height.
Hey Doc! Nice to see you on board
You must be very proud of your creation and I hope you’re getting a healthy cut
