Love the Terminator!
The flight simulator is an near exact replica of my Beechcraft Baron. I had it custom built to teach my wife to fly. The yoke even has force feedback technology making it feel like the real plane. The builder is coming to my home to tweak it this weekend.
The last picture you see is my real plane. I wish the video was that good!
I will post some better pics when we get it all going. Flight simulators are like pinball machines - something always needing tweaked.
Quoted from xsvtoys:So do all of the gauges and panel displays light up and work while you are flying? How does that even work???? Looking forward to more pics.
Yes, all the gauges light up and are synced with the Prepar 3D flight simulator software. They are being displayed by LCD screens. It was a pretty big project. I am a flight instructor and commercially rated pilot and wated it to duplicate my plane enough to teach my wife to fly in case I go TU in the air.
I have moved 5 times in 15 years and the game room has gotten smaller each time. The new house has a walkout basement with a 6 ft wide overhead door and 9 ft ceilings, so it lends itself better to big games.
The F355s are linked together and take the space of 7 pins, so I figure they are saving me about $40k in price difference of filling that wall with pins instead of the drivers. The 355s are definitely the hit when people are over. Super Chexx is next along with Atari Football in the living room next door. Believe it or not, the pins get the least amount of play with young and old. I play them a lot, but not many others. I am saving room for an Atari Red Baron and two more pins. Have a BM66 coming, but it is going to Florida as I only have room for two pins there. I am enjoying the video games as well as pins and really enjoy working on all of them.

Is that a Cushman Scooter in your second picture?
Yes. 1948. I had it restored to new condition about 5 years ago for my father. He always wanted one as a kid and couldn't afford it. He found this one 30 years ago and it sat in my hangar for the next 25 years. I finally took it out of the hangar and had a local Cushman expert do the restore. Sadly, my father passed away about 18 months ago and it now resides in my basement.
