Any airliner flight sim enthusiasts? Real Level-D sims, not PC games

[Woof999]

I regularly use professional A320 Level-D simulators, the kind that cost $10,000,000+ (for a cheap one). In the US I was paying crazy money ($500+ per hour), but here in Thailand they are relatively cheap.

 

Costs shared (I can give you costs in PM) and travel from Pattaya area available or can meet closer to Bangkok. You'l need passport ID (although its rarely checked as I've been using this company for a few years. Spectators also possible (at little cost).

 

This is a full motion simulator, the ones that the airlines use with full wrap around visuals, real cockpit controls / instruments / scenarios. Normal session for me is 2 hours, but I've done 1 hour (not really worth it), 3 hour and 4 hour sessions on occasion too.

 

General questions can be answered here. Specifics in PM.

 

Thanks.

I should have mentioned - no experience at all is required. Just an interest in airliner operations. The basic take off / flying is really easy, the rest can be learned as part of the experience.

At TG, A380 simulator, but can't book when pilots are training on it, obviously. A bit pricey but worth it. One of credit cards companies just offered 3k baht discount per booking.

I've never flown the A380 but I'm told It flies similar to the A320. Obviously it would be a little different on the ground...

 

I've flown the A330 but that handles like a boat. You have to make control inputs based on where you will be a few seconds later. I have 30 or so hours in the 737 classic (300, 400, 500) but I'd still take the A320 CEO all the time.

 

A 3000 baht discount on the A380 no longer sounds like value. Thai have mothballed them as have most airlines. Emirates is still the major customer and will have them for another 15 years or so. I'd love to make Thai an offer on their old sims... they will be worth next to nothing in a few years time.
