So in the last few days spent some time looking at/for motion flight simulator platforms.
Much seems to be the same with small variations on a theme. However, came across a phenomenal full motion flight simulator platform by a company that calls itself Fly Motion out of Russia. Blew me away. Apparently cost is about 33 grand (HUGE). Anyone know any more about these folks and their sim or anyone with something similar?

Its an interesting concept, but It looks like the display is lagging the motion pretty bad.
33K is a lot of money for something small like that too.
Looks like the motion is tied directly to the stck and not taking into account the aircraft motion.
Looks more like a Las Vegas theme park ride than a simulator.
Jim,
Take a look at CKAS.com.au
I know the guys personally and was extremely impressed by their products
on a recent visit.

Good observations, guess I was to impressed with the motion to take a good close look. All part of education.
Thanks also for link, again interesting read.
Jim
Hope the motion sickness bags don't fly out of the cockpit - going to need them eventually
Hi Nat
Great link to CKAS but oddly enough I have sent the several emails requesting information and pricing and have received nothing back. Not even an auto response saying they have the email and will get back to me. Do you by any chance know thier price points on what they call their open frm both single and dual? No big deal if not will simply sit back and wait to see if they do respond.
Jim
Hi Jim
I don't know specifics on pricing but I will call Chris
now and tell him to check his inbox! :)
Nat
Hi Nat
Sent you a pm as got response from Chris. Not exactly what I expected from any company.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
Jim
Hi Jim,
I can understand his position and your side too.
PM sent.
