This is awesome. Hey big time flight sim fan here. How can I DM you to learn your setup.


I can give you a list

Flight control https://www.thrustmaster.com/products/tca-captain-pack-x-air...

Flight control panel https://eu.winwingsim.com/view/goods-details.html?id=925

Light switches https://www.puairkorea.com/product/pu-autopilot-addon/

MCDU https://eu.winwingsim.com/view/goods-details.html?id=945

Rudders https://www.thrustmaster.com/products/tpr-thrustmaster-pendu...

Airbus Fenix remote on iPad https://fenixsim.com/a320/ + https://support.fenixsim.com/hc/en-us/articles/1245845642830...

16 key keyboard from Aliexpress, there are a lot of sellers

The rest are a beefy gaming PC

If you don't get the rudders then the whole thing (minus the gaming PC and iPad) can be bought for less than 1000€, even less on sale or second hand.


Here’s another one for A320 - https://youtu.be/rWaAcCikZdE

I came across it a few days and have been mesmerized with it ever since


There's a convenience store in Sydney, which has a full blown A320 flight simulator in the back, behind all the shelves of snacks. The owner of the store is a migrant to Australia, who is (was?) waiting for his overseas aircraft maintenance engineer qualifications to be locally recognised. He's turned the simulator into part of his business.

Edit: Based on the street address, it might have moved out of the convenience store into its own premises since the article was written?

Further edit: Sadly, it seems as if the owner, Ahmed Abdelwahed, might have been deported. Hopefully the deportation never went ahead, or he made it back into Australia on another try.

There’s one at Delhi airport as well
