really out of normal design considering the control column totally blocks the 'navigation/flight display' . it's a small matter since they use the 'biggest screen' for flying. i would still prefer to play FS on my PC since the experience is about the same compared to this one.

I wonder where they get the idea to call it a "simulator" when the equipment is no where near a flight trainer device.

More like a flyable mockup with unusable instrument panel. :^^:

Instead of spending their resources building the shell and the "unusable" cockpit layout, they should have just used a larger screen probably a projection screen with a good control column and throttle instead.

I've seen a fellow Microsoft flight sim enthusiast having a much better setup then this. At least his instrument works like real using touch screen interface.

seen it, not worth it... it takes a lot than that to impress us(simmer and pilot).
RM30 is a bit too much and the equipment is just too lame.. it's not that we say bad thing on this but at least shown us something different, something simmer never sees before, then that's different. please, at least the instrument panel is working..
