Indeed! I plan on makeing my own actually someday when I have the time and money. Although, you can buy a cheaper one for around 8,000 at simpits. Much doesnt function, but it is still cool! "This is a risky move on CPM&Ts behalf, due to the negative press associated with simulators and pilot training devices after the fatal attacks on September 11. Due to recent military spending cuts in major programs … CPM&T has been forced to look for new customers for sales of their military training products,” says a spokesman. He adds that the company is anticipating only “several sales per year."

Give me a break! Home Simulators have been out there long before 9-11!! That tragedy has nothing to do with the creation or publishing of these pits, please, some people are just soooo paranoid!! UGH!

It's good software that allows armchair pilots to learn how to operate real aircraft, not hardware. I don't need a home cockpit to learn a lot from JF-18, or Allied Force, or MSFS.

The Nephilim, home cockpits can be used with any software. The more that software supports keyboard-initiated cockpit commands, the more seamlessly it will work with a home cockpit. Currently the king of combat sims with home cockpit support is F4; it has keystrokes for every clickable cockpit switch, nearly every real switch is clickable, and there are keyboard callbacks. A keyboard callback means there is a different keypress for moving a switch to each position. i.e. instead of pressing F for flaps, you press CTRL+f for flaps up and Shift+f for flaps down. This lets you move home cockpit switches without worrying about whether they are out of sync with the sim your are flying.

With TSHv3, JF-18 will make a huge jump from its current home cockpit capability, but will still be very far away from Falcon 4.

Mac 4.0 - If you have the time, knowledge, and capability, you can build the exact same thing as CPM&T do, for "only" 8 or 10 thousand dollars. I'm not talking about something where "much doesn't function" - why would you pay 8 grand for that? With the right setup of LCD monitors, Beta Innovations controller cards, and the ability to work with metal, you can build a working F-18 pit that does everything but fly. It will take you a hell of a long time, though.

Here is the article feedback on the SimHQ article. A little less than halfway down Nutty (James Hallows) gives brief instructions on how to make your own.

FYI, I've communicated with Paul Miller of CPM&T and he seems like a great guy. If I'm ever in that part of Texas I'll be sure to look him up.
