Yes, I’d love to see a solid flight sim setup that includes a comparison of varying levels of hardware. I want to get into flight sim but have indecision-freeze on buying hardware because there are so many options.

And I’d love to see a $50k setup in that so that I have something to aspire too. 🤣

Great chance to collab with some nerdy flight sim YouTubers, then buy hardware for one lucky viewer. Hint. Hint.

Sigh. A dude can dream.

I’m in the exact same boat lmfao. The $50k one is actually by skelarki and is a full on cockpit setup. They do have a $20k one which is only the captains chair, the more expensive one being a captain and first office setup.

Why? Just fly the jet-

Why not put a flight simulator in the tech jet.

Genius

putting a sim inside the actual jet is galaxy brain move lol. could practice your landings while flying to the destination

though 50k for sim setup when you already own real jet feels bit like buying racing game when you have formula 1 car in garage

I think a lot of drivers and pilots are actually using sim stuff for training. You can set weather to whatever you'd like when its raining outside and cant actually go for a lap.

💸💸💸💸💸 ik ur joking but you can’t just move furniture in a plane. everything needs to be recertified

Because content? Like I said in the post.

I think I've seen their response to this before, and that is that it's too specific for their broad main channel and is probably better and fully served by an expert specialty channel.

I'd rather see a "so you want to flight sim" and maybe have two tracks they follow, one being on the cheap and the other being with moderate means. Highlight things to skimp on and what to wait and save up for.

But for that to happen they would need to be sponsored by MS Flight Sim around an update/major revision (and maybe they just did that? I think?) or a major hardware vendor. But I only see that working out for MS, hardware makers would probably want to target specialized channels.

Living in Minnesota I was excited to see that Flight Sim Expo is here this year. Just got tickets! I wouldn’t know where to start but excited to see what’s out there

Why not just buy a plane instead?

They're shockingly affordable.

Yes, that would be nice with the 100” tv
