The Dreamflyer is an engineered product and works on a simple principle of mechanics -- pivot arrangement. The user, while sitting on the chair, balances her/his weight across the longitudinal and latitudinal axis of the chassis and that balancing act generates motions. The sensor/joystick underneath the chair captures the motions/movements and sends the information to a computer loaded with simulation software. The software (Microsoft Simulator, X-Plane, etc) interprets the information and the user sees the results real-time on the monitor. In short, our Dreamflyer captures the motion based on simple gravitational movements of the chair initiated by the user in response to the views on the screen. Close to what pilots do in the air. By using gravitational force to generate motions, the Dreamflyer has eliminated the need for hydraulics and motors and costly maintenance associated with the product. Dreamflyer is priced at only $2,800 + S&H.

  • The thing is is that these units need to bank left and right according to the simulator information, not joystick input information. Otherwise you'll feel the banks and pitches before the plane has even started to move.
