Sean, I was left in it on my own for a good 45plus minutes, If you have the PMDG 737 then plopped into this .. It really is just immersive and impressive , tho it won't do the movement , I also had the opportunity to take my brother and his daughter for a fly .. it tricked/taught him what and why ... sorta started to understand more the application off the real world use .... he was very .. um over the moon .

In the Aviation Hobby shop close to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport you can fly one of these kind of simulators for 60 euros (100NZ$) an hour. I did this with a friend of mine and it was big fun. Having quite a lot hours on the PMDG NGX, it all felt quite familiar, until you start actually flying it. Still, great fun to do and I really would recommend it to do some day!
