Re: Anchorage Aviation Museum's flight simulator

Hi! First post,

I saw something similar (three screen display) that was available for public use at the Cradle of Aviation museum on Long Island -- was really neat!

This one looks like Microsoft Flight Simulator, if I'm not mistaken... ? I have essentially no real bush flying experience (that should change in the next year), but accurate Alaska scenery sounds fun.

I know there's at least one company that sells an external module that you can plug multiple monitors into just for use with a flight sim. How it works is you plug in three (maybe four, can't remember) monitors, and the computer interprets them as one giant monitor. Essentially, the module stitches the video together so the computer can just do it's thing.

Welcome Justine.
I'm new to BCP as well. I have really enjoyed the reading. My guess is you will too.

"...when things go wrong, thousands of feet in the air."

Do people actually fly that high??? :D

In all seriousness, thats a pretty neat looking piece of equipment.

I looked at these years ago and the prices started at $5K for a custom chair/chassis setup... :shock:
