DPR,

There are a number of suppliers that have small lcd's and vdt's available.  They are pricey though.

Also... some of those displays are like mine......... full size monitors behind cutouts for the smaller displays.

best,

..............john

Wow cool.

I cant help but think how for the huge total he has spent on that, he could have bought himself a PPL and Instument rating and not have to simulate it....
 

Any moment, everything can change, Feel the wind on your shoulder, For a minute, all the world can wait, Let go of your yesterday. Can you hear it calling? Can you feel it in your soul? Can you trust this longing? And take control, Fly! Open up the part of you that wants to hide away! You can shine, Forget about the reasons why you can't in life, And start to try, cause it's your time, Time to fly. - H.D., Fly

Blackbird,

I have sound that many times these guys with the absolutely elaborate pits are already commercial pilots and these are simply their toys.

For the money you spend on something like that you could probably get your PPL, a much better investment IMO.
