Home Flight Sim Setup

Sorry guys, I thought I am logged in when I created this post. But it is my post.

I did just a quick search and came up with these.
I'm sure there are more styles.

thanks! however not sure if the seat/chair actually is a motion one. I think it is not the one which simulates motion experience in the aircraft.
Are there any other options? And as for monitors I prefer monitor setup without gaps between them.

Don't know about the motion part.
As for the monitors inquire here http://www.matrox.com/en/

It looks like CKAS systems are nice with 3 and 6DOF. But are there any alternatives?

These do look like the best systems, but I couldn't find a price (probably staring me in the face).
You have to supply the controllers.
Shipping will be a huge part of the cost.

This seems to be at a good price and quite a bit of action.

I don't know what country you live in so shipping will add to the price again.

I have requested the price with CKAS. 6DOF system without controls, monitors and PC costs 20000$ plus delivery about 2000$.
Apart from that and blue tiger nothing else?

Not a bad price but how much is shipping.

I'm more than sure there are other motion simulators out there.
I found some that cost more that a basic Porche 911 😂
They are professional types that the airlines use.

Hi I live in Australia and have been to the CKAS factory in Melbourne. The price I got was A$6000, which would be less American dollars (about $5500 US).
Also a good graphics card Radeon 6870 or similar will allow you to run 4 monitors.
Have fun.

Thanks for the information about the price.
Personally I would get two video cards to run 4 monitors and at least a 1,000w power supply (name brand) and a minimum 8gigs of ram with a top i7 CPU.
By the way, the cards would just be for running the monitors, FSX isn't optimized for SLI or CrossFire.
Make those cards 2gigs each and you'll get great FPS.

For what system is such price? Seems extremely low compared to my quotation. Any contacts from the factory?
