All that hardware and then just.. a chair.
Not to mention the Ikea table.
They're probably saving up to build a motion simulation rig.
And only one monitor too. Would have expected 3-4 to give a better view.
VR headset would be best view but then they couldn't see all the fancy controls around them.
Even better if they could do it with AR. Then they could blend the controls with the view.
I love ar in flight sims, moving your head to move the camera view across the huge amount of instruments is so nice when youve got hands on the stick and throtle and both feet in the rudder pedals.
Depends on the sim. A good example would be Elite Dangerous. Buy the right HOTUS, put it in the right place, and when you don the headset, you see the controls you have.
Yeah you ain't gonna be buying a plane if you're using the cheapest office chair you found at a thrift store.
Unless this is to help save up for said plane.
Let's leave the chair out of this!
No neon trim and no cup holder even. Probably the kind of guy that wants to fight you if you call a flight Sim a game.
This is exactly what I was looking at. What the hell is with that?
Guy probably could have purchased an entire office worth of chairs with the money he spent on all that gear.... He didn't even bother to get one decent chair?
That's money he could have spent on more buttons and panels.
Yes, because, as we all know, real pilots don't use chairs...
They were making the point that it looks like a chair you would pick up for free on the side of the road as part of a multi thousand dollar flight sim
That's debatable.
