Interested in training up your kids with great skills of flying planes since young, so they could become great pilots once they’ve grown up? Here comes the HotSeat’s flight simulator chassis that can go in your living room, to let your kids and even you to pick up any airplane flying skills anytime.
The HotSeat flight simulator is equipped with nice sound system that gives best simulation of flying a plane. It has a tubular steel frame with six speakers and 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, with the center channel and sub-woofer under the seat.
The simulator has a trio of 22-inch LCD monitors in front of the seat, giving a 66-inch panoramic view to simulate virtual skies for the pilot. This flight simulator is also made with some serious computer hardware, including a quad-core processore, an NVIDIA 512MB graphics card, 4GB of RAM, and Microsoft FS X Deluxe Edition with the Acceleration Expansion Pack pre-installed.
The simulator is also installed with software that is FAA-approved for a Basic ATD Flight Simulator. The flight simulator carries a whopping price tag of $17,250, which only rich parents might consider. But it’s still much cheaper than buying a real airplane.
