Intressant upplägg, samtidigt finns det nog billigare och närmare alternativ.
Om man inte känner behovet av en "full motion" sim utan kan nöja sig med en full cockpit kopplad till flightsim finns t.ex. swesim i stockholm Swesim - Flygsimulatorer för alla

Någon som kan göra en snabbkalkyl på ungefär hur mycket pengar milen motsvarar? Rent spontant ser priserna för Malaysia väldigt låga ut. Kan förstås vara annan typ av sim men jag har sett siffror på hur mycket en godkänd full-motion sim kostar att köra och det var inte billigt.
 
Jag provade simulatorn för nåt passagerarflyg och för helikopter på Arlanda för några år sedan (de där som står på hydralben). Flyga flygplanet var riktigt tråkigt, men med helikoptern körde jag under kraftledningar och landade i åska, hagel och drivis på en oljeborrplatform. DET var kanon, min co-pilot gick ut och kräktes efteråt, det kändes rätt äkta!

BA har också någonting, men jag tror det krävs en lite större grupp för att genomföra det. På FT brukar det då och då arrangeras grupper som åker dit har jag sett.
