I saw this guy on the Discovery Channel, he was in a program called "Kings of Sim". Compared to some that were shown, he was just a beginner, though I take nothing away from his achievement, it is magnificent  8-) 8-)

I was just talking about the whole video segment... it is a nice piece. 

Yeah, the 747 pit is certainly nice, but there are a lot better ones I've seen around the net.

There was one guy on the Kings of Sim, who built an f-18 cockpit in his basement. It used original "black boxes" for all the avionics (he does work for Rockwell Collins), and has full ejection seat with O2 and inflating Speed Jeans. Can't remember if it has motion or not though, but it was almost military grade 8-)
