Anyone using this for a home cockpit?

Looks like a nice product, although once again, it isn't network able thorough wide client, and unfortunately I can't see any information as to interface possibilities.

But looks like a sweet product that for sure.

Yes I have purchased the G1000 Simulator and have just toyed with it a little. I plan on using OpenCokpits I/O cards and a Haggstrom card or to for key presses. I want to build a simulator for the elementary school down the road similar to the one shown on the users links page of that website. It's what I was looking for several months ago for the same endeavour. One of the users has been able to place the PFD and MFD on seperate monitors, I assume using multiple video cards on one computer. I also bought the G1000 simulator software from Garmin but was dissapointed as although one can "fly" the training software, the software does not model flight dynamics, meaning at a constant power setting, if you pull-up on the stick you don't loose any speed and visa versa, but usefull if you are training to operate a G1000. What i could use help on is looking inside the program files and seeing if one could install this "guage set" inot other aircraft. The mindstar software loads it automatically into a "special" Cesssna 172, and possibly another aircraft, but I want to use it on larger aircraft, although I do not know if it only works with the Cessna "dynamics"

Try the FTS1000 from Fly This Sim. www.flythissim.com/FTS1000.aspx We think its the most realistic simulation of the real G1000 for X-Plane. Nav data is current, validated. Also, it runs with X-Plane, which is much better sim for building your own simulator.
