    Does anyone have an idea of how much a full home cockpit would cost?
    This includes pilot seats, displays, computers, panels, throttle quadrant etc and a shell. Is there anyone in Ireland who builds home cockpits for a price? I know it would cost way too much for me to afford at the moment, but just out of curiosity and future interest.

    To scratch my own itch about this I've done some research and there are two companies that build and sell airline simulators to enthusiasts.

    The first is Flight Simulator Center in Italy. They build and sell a full 737NG fixed base sim. You can buy the barebones or a full complete simulator. A kit including the cockpit shell, MCP, EFIS, FMC, linked yokes & rudder pedals and 2 737 replica seats will set you back €59k. That's without the overhead panel and throttle quadrant or any of the display equipment or computers. You have to enquire about the full build but I would imagine its circa €100k.

    The other is Flight Deck Solutions in Canada. They don't have prices displayed for their pro-level simulators but one US based forum member was quoted $109kCAD. They DO however have an enthusiast level sister company called JetMax which sells a single side 737NG replica with throttle quadrant/overhead as options. Looks really quite impressive and much more affordable at about $7kUSD for THIS.

    Quite tempted myself actually...
