Hello, my name is Bill and I am a Flight Instructor in Miami. I have been playing Microsoft flight simulator ever since I was a little kid and managed to turn the addiction into a career. Needless to say, flying the real thing surprisingly does not take away from the joy I get with simulators.
I am curious if there are any cockpit builders down in Miami that would like to show off their cockpits? I am interested in learning all the quirks with all the products and what works best for what. I sometimes get a little enthusiastic, I just ordered 14 dual rotary encoders for who knows what just yet...
I originally came down to Miami to become an air traffic controller then one day I got the chance to try out a Level D 757 full motion sim at Alteon in Miami. Needless to say that cemented my decision to become a pilot instead. I have background knowledge in machining, electronics, computers, fabrication, etc... I just wonder why I didn't get into it earlier...
Heres a video of my flying the level D 757 sim.
