This brought back a lot of memories. My first motion rig I built, I was twelve, and was a folding chair on a flat piece of plywood set on top of a makeshift fulcrum, placed in front of a 286 running ms flight sim. I found Mark’s channel and ended up buying my own P6. Good times.

OMG, you brought back fond memories of my first loves (flight sims you talked about). As a sixteen year old kid who saved up and bought my first computer (C64), just to get flight Simulators (Solo Flight, SubLogic, MSFS, Falcon, etc), I was hooked! Did countless traffic patterns at Meigs Field looking at those stick figures...haha. Those graphic forced you to have a great imagination and the FPS forced you to have patience LOL. I played a bunch of other games as well, but I bought practically every flight sim/game that came out, lol. The C64 and Amiga 500 had me hooked and opened up a whole new world for me. Especially since my parents couldn't afford to get me flight lessons. I'm glad we grew up with those early PCs, because we can really appreciate what we have now. The passion is real. Sixteen years later, I was fortunate to finally take those flight lessons and get my Private Pilot's License. It was bittersweet because my parents were no longer alive, but they were with me (if you know what I mean). I owe a lot to those early flight simulators for feeding my childhood dreams and passion!!! Now it's DCS, MSFS and X-Plane in VR and motion. 😃 Really enjoyed this chat you guys had.

9:19 - oh yea! That's the simulator. That's what got me hooked on simulators. Listening to the whole interview, it's sounds like we lived mirrored lives. Thanks for sharing. New sub. Hope to see more on motion platforms. That's my next big step. :)

Really enjoyed learning some more about you Mark! Love the nostalgia as well haha

This was such a fun interview. We may need to do this again soon now that I have my 6DOF running.... Lots to talk about !!

Sorry I am putting it here but I did not know were to ask :) Hi, I have the 6DOF that I never put together, I saw the new motors and I had to have them, I bought them and I still have not put them together. My question, do you know anyone in PA that might be good putting these together? I can pay someone to do it, I think we also need to get with Igor for downloads. I love all you vids, I have been so busy getting my company ISO 9001-2015 certified. So I have not watched much. So, anyone live around Barto PA I want to get this going. OO and I had neck surgery which I am still dealing with. Any help would be great, even if its paying you to make up a great clear instruction book with the new gears added. I had this for like 3 years now :) maybe 4.
