flight sim input device/motion sim on kickstarter

Been waiting years for Doc Holloway to finish up with something I could buy but it costs a little more than I was hoping it would.

Cloud-Flyer Motion Flight Simulator:

The monitor mount might be a good place to mount a head tracking camera/wiimote. I wish Doc luck and hope he gets the funding. Hopefully it will lead to a cheaper option down the road.

    I like that. That looks like a guy I just saw at the special boeing meeting this weekend: http://www.airlinereporter.com/tag/agf14/

    Many simulation enthusiasts and pilots showed up: http://simulationmuseum.sharepoint.com/Pages/default.aspx These guys were there. I talked to a lot of Boeing people, kept promoting the Oculus VR Hmd to them, (almost none of them had heard of it - my jaw was hanging agape) Even the flight sim experts there (helped with the Concorde simulator in the UK - a DC6 simulator - etc etc) had not heard of the Oculus Rift or HMD VR Flight Sims, I just couldn't believe it, these are a very wealthy, intelligent, astute bunch of engineers/pilots , but they have somehow missed all the media coverage, so I did my part to make sure everyone there started hero worshipping Palmer Luckey and VR futures like the rest here.
    mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4123 I am looking into that LEEP VR I lack practical 3d knowledge, I have found some good links, but I am not sure if they are the ones you were talking about. Would you mind direct linking me to them? :oops:
