Description: This is a one-of-a-kind, custom-built Cessna 172 flight simulator designed with dual flight controls on a powerful hexapod platform offering six degrees of freedom (6DOF). Built over four years at a total cost of $72,000, this simulator is nearly complete and fully operational, though it may need some finishing touches. I’m selling due to space constraints following a business move. This simulator is a flight enthusiast's dream and is perfect for someone willing to invest a little money and time to complete it. Additionally, it could easily be converted into a racing simulator by changing out the cabin’s interior with a steering wheel, gauges, foot pedals, and a gear shifter. Key Features:Hexapod Platform: Controlled by six powerful Nema 34 stepper motors, each actuator has 11 inches of travel, and ball screw drives ensure smooth and precise movements.Independent PLC Control: The platform is powered by a dedicated PLC, fed real-time data from the simulator software for accurate motion control.Dual Control Setup: Built for a Cessna 172, this simulator includes dual flight controls, offering an authentic flight experience.X-Plane 12 Compatibility: Runs the X-Plane 12 simulator version, providing high-quality flight simulation.Immersive Visuals: Includes five LCD displays that wrap around for an almost full 360-degree view.Powerful Computing: Comes with two gaming computers, each equipped with dual Nvidia graphics cards for seamless performance.Audio and Tactile Feedback: Features four speakers, a bass system, and Buttkicker vibrators under each seat to add realism with sound and vibration effects.Hexapod Control Box: Features buttons for starting, homing, and lowering the hexapod for easy entry.Comfort and Accessibility: The cabin includes two racing seats, six removable hatches and doors, and access using a small step stool.Fine-Tuned Motion Control: A third-party app allows precise tuning of the platform’s movement for the most realistic simulation experience. Dimensions and Weight:Height: 94 inchesFootprint: 80” x 80”Weight: Approximately 1,200 lbs Extras Included:Installation Option: I am willing to travel to the buyer’s location for installation, operation guidance, and to ensure everything works correctly (additional charge for travel and lodging).Documentation: Complete set of prints and wiring diagrams for future repairs and maintenance. Condition: The simulator is fully functional but may need a few finishing touches to complete. It’s sold as-is and has been tested for operation.
