Building a Mobile Flight Simulator
summary
A full Boeing 787-style cockpit is rebuilt into a trailer formerly a burger van and it actually runs at shows across the UK and Europe, raising charity funds. Hardware uses 3 PCs, 3 projectors, 3 GPUs, custom 747 throttle/yokes adapted with linear encoders and Leo Bodnar boards, Raspberry Pi and Adafruit IoT for buttons and lights, plus 3D-printed panels. Software is FSUIPC + Prepar3D + C# instructor app that injects memory offsets and scores ILS approaches. Accessibility is solved with a ramp and 1.5m sliding seat travel and it works for kids and wheelchair users.
