Abstract: A flight simulation system capable of simulating multiple aircraft through interchangeable instrument panels, throttle quadrants, and control devices (stick and/or yoke). The system has multiple visual displays capable of displaying simulated outside views and instrument displays (e.g. multiple aircraft, avionics suites, gauges, etc.). The instrument panels simulating a particular type of aircraft and containing switches, knobs, and/or buttons of approximately the same type and approximately the same location as in the simulated aircraft. The system containing a communications system compatible with standard pilot headsets and a pilot key for logging, storage, and permissions.
