Hell, it's cheaper than flying lessons.
Misplaced priorities and squandered opportunities.

We have full-motion simulators where I work. :D They're just Cessna 172s and Piper Seminoles though.

Also, psssssh. If I was going to build a tricked out home cockpit, it wouldn't be civilian shit. I'd go with a Block 52 F-16:

a lot of people love civil aviation. its a lot like nautical navigation. different than action packed fighter missions.
