Junji Hirayama 's Home Flight Simulator

Posted by timothy on from the beyond-the-ordinary dept.

hifiandrew writes "I love seeing home mockups of cockpits for Flight Simulator like the recent Slashdot article of the person who used 13 Monitors and 9 PC's. But this one takes the cake for cockpit coolness! While doing a Google search for 747 cockpits, I ran across a web site of a person in Japan who has the coolest home cockpit for Flight Simulator I've ever seen. It has a perfect built-to-scale layout, backlit panels and even a projector for the scenery! All running on relatively modest PC hardware. I'm envious!"

    I don't normally have anything to contribute to Slashdot, but I have some detailed photos on my website of a 747-400, including the cockpit. Enjoy.

    The drama that used his simulator in the set, "Good Luck!", is being posted, one episode every couple of weeks, in alt.binaries.multimedia.japan. They're subtitled in English.
