bradp Posted September 15, 2020 Report Posted September 15, 2020 Saw an ad for Gleim’s BATD today. This is literally off the shelf parts with a touchscreen panel. If you’re semi computer literate, you could put this together over a weekend for half the cost. Does that mean that the FAA is approving simple versions of BATDs these days? Or did the Gleim folks just have an “in”. https://www.gleimaviation.com/cockpitbatd/ Quote

toto Posted September 16, 2020 Report Posted September 16, 2020 More expensive than flythissim by $600, less than a Redbird by a grand. I'd love to be able to stay paper current at home, but six grand is still a lot for a PC-based flight simulator. 1 Quote
