    Does anyone have any experience building a high-end mip flight sim?

    Some of these new technologies and the new upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 look absolutely incredible.

    I'm thinking about building a really nice high-end mip cockpit replica of a PA-46 with either 3 or 5 large 4k screens (65' or bigger), has anyone here done anything like this?

    65' would be a really big screen.

    Yes, I'd have 3 or 5 of them and turn them sideways for portrait mode, I have seen it done before, it was really cool and lifelike with the 4k graphics.

    They now have actuators for the seats so you can feel the gear / flaps deploy.

    They make these Garmin G1000 flight simulators so you can build an actual replica of your planes dashboard with the same avionics etc.

    65' is massive. You probably meant 65", which is a lot more reasonable. :)
