Well it sure beats my set up of HOTAS & PS3 controller sat on top of a couple of Wharfedales with a cheap Tesco garden chair.

I may build one.

There are some pretty groovy flight sim setups on YouTube. The heli ones are very impressive.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of cockpits and the like on You Tube. The one on the OP is the most inexpensive I've seen so far. The same guy does some DK2 video's as well and has one with a fix for the 'grey out' issue if anyone has the Oculus and is encountering problems with it.
