Dave,
This topic was addressed a few years ago. I think it's unlikely that there is or ever will be a high quality simulator for a Lancair or any experimental/amateur built airplane.
A high quality simulator costs millions of dollars. That can possibly make sense for production airplanes, but not for our Lancairs; A) there aren't enough of them, B) we'd be unwilling to pay the prices associated with simulator lease or training (figure $600 to $2,000 per hour), and 3) every plane is different so the simulator accuracy would be limited anyway.
There are no high-quality motion simulators for Bonanzas, Malibus, Mooneys, or until last year, even a Pilatus PC-12. The $$$$'s are prohibitive.
Hello
all,
I'm in search of a
Lancair simulator for the 235/320/360 airframe. I've decided I'd like to
practice some stall maneuvers, and am not going to do it in the airplane.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a simulator that has been configured
for Lancair body? I realize the avionics will be off since we all have our
own panel configurations, but avionics aside; we should all have similar
airframes. I found several plane files for Microsoft Flight Simulator, but
I'm hoping to find something a little higher end, preferably a full motion
simulator.
Thanx
all,
Dave
