While I would love to build one myself,actually doing a bit of pre planning to turn my closet in my office into the nose/screen area then build outward....anyway. Say you have a wife that really isn't into flight simming but enjoys spending time with you in the same room for more than a few minutes at a time Grin. Has anyone thought to add the left and right window views off the wings to a simpit? Sure it's taking up more space but it sure would be neat to get the family involved just to have em sit there (in 1st class ha ha) and watch it from the wing view like you see all the time from flight level 350. I think that would really kick it up a notch IMO. Even if it is an extra box with to Lazyboys in it with a 32" mounted to either side Grin. Dare I say add the movie screen in the center aisle and play old inflight movies for em Grin.

Hmmm all I need to start is a 10' X say 60' climate controlled shed in my back yard and my own power station and I may have the start to something I can leave my nephew (to finish paying for) when i'm gone Grin

A Shed, somebody mention Shed ?  I got one of those "Resin" / Plastic Lifetime Sheds, the one with the bigger doors, took bout' 4 hours to assemble, not to badd, but, I don't Flight Sim in it, its for some of my Tools and 2 riding tractors. BUT, you could Sim in it ~ Summer put ya a little window unit A/C in it and Winter an Electric Fireplace or wood burnin stove . Hand some Aircraft photos on the Wall, Carpet the inside, get a 6 or 8 speaker surround system set up and listen to those Propliners & JT-8 Engines roar. Also, ya could have a really Big Big Computer Monitor in a Big Shed like that too ~ !!  Like a 50 in. monitor,,,, ......

Most people don;t particularly enjoy sitting in an aircraft cabin when they hacve to go somewhere.  Might still be a hard sell with the wife.

How about First Officer and build it with dual controls?

best,
