Sim Cockpit System has announced that the new Fighter Aircraft Cockpit FX is now available. In addition, they now also have the Cockpit Seat available, complementing their cockpits. This seat is also usable with a computer desk. According to the press release, "The FIGHTER AIRCRAFT COCKPIT FX offers a realistic simulator cockpit environment accommodating a LCD monitor and a scenery projection image visible through the front, left and right side windows. The stunning scenery presentation gives the impression of being more in an aircraft as opposed to being in front of a computer monitor. The field of view allows the feel of speed and facilitates runway tracking on take off and flare on landing. The generic design feature for aircraft using a joystick will bring your flight simulation experience to a new level. At this time only Microsoft Flight Simulator offers operation of multiple monitors on one computer. The instruments are displayed on the main monitor and the scenery is generated by the projector." Other simulation software suitability has to be determined by the user.For more information, please visit the Sim Cockpit website.
