Pentoman,
Our flight simulators are stationary based(for now at least.We just purchased a hydraulic base, onto which we will sit one of our units) unlike those of our neighbor's CAE, whose units are fully hydraulic.Of course ours are a fraction of the cost.We make everything here, from the software down to the knobs and buttons for small twin props up to 737s.

...And yes you can have one cheap...$500 000US.
....Everything is relative.
