How much did you spend building that simulator?
February 1st, 2009
This is probably the most common question I’m asked about the simulator I built, with many of these questions originating from my related YouTube video.
Most people seem to assume that I spent some silly sum putting this thing together, but that’s simply not true. The truth is that this project was mostly about recycling a lot of older electronics and materials that were just lying around. It’s true that I did spend a decent sum building a high-end gaming computer for FSX. However, outside this computer and the flight controls (purchased from Saitek) the simulator itself only cost about $150.
