DESIGN YOUR OWN SIM
There are many considerations to work through before your first purchase. Indeed, for the most economically efficient path to the best simulator for your purposes, you should work through all those considerations before making any purchases.
Key Takeaways:
- Before making any purchases, thoroughly define your simulator's purpose (e.g., gaming, proficiency) and desired features, including specific aircraft, instrument fidelity, and control placement, as these will dictate component choices.
- Be prepared to make trade-offs between realism, cost, and complexity, particularly when deciding between physical controls/avionics versus on-screen representations, and in configuring instrument panels and external views with multiple monitors.
- Assess your willingness to "tinker" with hardware and software configurations, as building a custom sim often requires technical comfort, while turn-key solutions may offer less specific replication or higher costs.
- Plan carefully for the display of instrument panels and outside visuals, considering monitor size, arrangement, bezel gaps, and the computing power needed to achieve your desired level of detail and immersion.
