The OVO-4 takes home flight simulation to a new level

eklendi
 
The OVO-04 is made by Virtual Fly who advertise it as a plug&play flight simulator that is very quiet and free of the need for a keyboard and mouse inside. It even has the PC shipped with it as a separate module containing the FSX software required to make it function. Serious flight simulation fans are most likely drooling right about now. Inside you’ll find 3 24-inch widescreen displays above an array of cockpit controls, instruments, and pedals. As it’s an enclosed unit, the integrated… (www.geek.com) Daha Fazlası...

You know what I can do with that kind of money? We're talking like 8 First Class international flights!!! Or pay for all my Pilot lessons! Ha! And they want US to buy that for that price? lol

Yes it's cool but for that kind of money I could get my license and pretty good used airplane.

My wife politely tolerates my hour or two of flying Microsoft Flight Simulator. I can imagine her reaction if I ordered this! Seriously, though, the OVO-4 looks pretty awesome. But may I point out that for far less money, you could get a real pilots license and fly the real thing. Which is what I'd rather do!

For 57K they better have at least another seat so you can take passengers!

I can build a better one for less money than that. Besides, I'd just pay for my ratings through my commercial for that amount of money, and fly the real thing instead of a box. The only people I see buying this are flight schools, and guys who can't get their medical.

Drugstore Cowboys, Truck Stop Truck Drivers. What handle do we hang on these that want to know and talk all about it and what they would do in a similar situation only to find out they haven't got or ever held a certificate to their name. There will be some that will buy this SIM for that very reason, yet they would never crawl behind the yoke of a 150/172 because it doesn't have a reset button on it.

I love flight simming, BUT NOT THAT MUCH!!! I could by a new Lincoln or Cadillac for that price!!! Hell that is a substantial down payment on a plane, kenworth, or even a HOUSE!!!!

No I shall stick with what I have thank you very much.

I could set the Guinness Book of Records for continuous flight in a SIM in that thing....gimme a camelback, a 12 pack of diapers and a slot to slide in a pizza box.....

You could buy a real airplane and a pilot's license for $57k.

No doubt! You can get a decent aircraft and certificate with 57k! An older Warrior or 172. I guess for guys that can't get a medical this would be an alternative, but I do just fine on my PC with FSX and a couple approach plates. That's some expensive fake flying!

$57k?! I don't think so. This is a better alternative http://www.jetmax.ca/

Totally agree, for 57K (plus VAT & assorted import duties), go with JetMax. Published reviews on OVO-4 center on the mechanical lag between cockoon motion and displays.

Heck ya I'd love to have one of these in my living room! And yes, I'm disabled so I'm one of those who can no longer fly the real thing. I used to fly a Cessna 421, loved that plane. Being on a pension now I'll have to settle for the one on the computer. Oh well, others will enjoy this for sure. I think it'd be great for a kids toy too.

I'm currently a student pursuing my Private Pilot in a Warrior. I still spend countless hours on FSX (much more fun now with real flight training). When I saw this I said, "Dang! That's awesome! I want it!" Then I read the other comments about buying a real plane and realized I could by that Warrior I'm training in and have enough money left over to fly it free for 400+ hours. Sold.

I would guess that they are working on a glass panel version and maybe a two seater for flight schools.

I suggest, if you spend that kind of money and that much time on a SIMULATOR, you should consider the real thing. A 152/172 from mid 80's vintage will run about the same, AND, you can actually KILL yourself in them - they didnt come with a RESET button. Training schools, yes.....home use.......think it is overkill.

i understood your argument about the benefits of the 152/172 until you suggested that being able to kill yourself is a feature.
