Creative cockpits have taken this sorry looking Jetranger and converted it into a flight simulator. It was a completely empty shell so even the controls have been made from scratch.

With no instrument panel in the Jetranger, that had to be made from scratch as well! All original switches operate within the sim and it incorporates the full Bendix fuel sytem start up sequence. Yes you can even hot start it if you aren't careful! £££

Off the grid spitfire simulation on a budget:

An early MDF construction cockpit running basic Saitek controls and IL2 1946 combat simulator. A very cheap but realistic flight model with brilliant damage modelling and very simple PC to PC networking. We have used this setup at flight sim shows with 4 aircraft networked together for the best simulated combat fun possible! Ideal for those who just want to fight and fly. Released in 2006, this software is the last of the local area network capable combat simulators and you don't need a £1500 PC connected to the internet to run it!
