• What, like a wheel and some pedals? Or would you go full-on actual car stuff? I met a guy once who turned the entire back half of his trailer into a plane cockpit for his flight sims. Had actual instruments and switches and stuff. I’m sure with what it had to cost, he could have just bought a real plane. lol

      The cheapest plane I’d feel comfortable flying my family around in goes for about $100k, and you’d better be able to pay ~$5k a year on average for upkeep.

      Meanwhile an instrument six pack is cheap buying it off someone that’s upgrading their cockpit.

      Well really that’s where I’d say it’s up to you, the quasi real cockpit would not be worth it but most “entry level” sit down rigs and a wheel cost about $4-500 all in
