Matrix Trainer

I've been playing with this for the last week and a half while preparing for the simulator. It's pretty cool and all the panels are lcd touch screens. You can interact with any system and it reacts realistically. From my understanding, FlightSafety who owns these machines, can upload any AC they currently have a profile.program for. I have no idea what other AC they have; as pictured its a CRJ200. Anyway it's fully interactive and from what I can see all it needs is a couple of well placed 55" LCD flatpanels and it'd be a pretty amazing FS set up for the home cockpit folks. I'm sure it's not cheap but when you consider that it could be used for any AC that had a program written for it I'd opt for something like this over a type specific home cockpit.

Anyway I though you folks here would appreciate this machine.

Cheers
