Amazing hobbies people have

Boeing 737 home built simulator

A while ago, I came across a post from Clement Stals where writes on setting up the displays for his home built cockpit. He built a Boeing 737 flight deck simulator and created a whole site on how to do it.

I went down a rabbit hole and a search on Youtube confirms he is not alone. I think this is amazing. The time and effort people put into it to create something like this is simply astounding.

Here is one of the videos I particularly liked. Neale Hargreaves shows and talks through his whole setup. It’s worth a watch:
