FLIGHT SIMULATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A flight simulation system, said flight simulation system comprising:
- a cockpit;
at least one external view visual displays mounted to be viewed from inside said cockpit and communicable coupled to a control system;
an instrument panel, said instrument panel interchangeable and mounted over at least one instrument visual display, said instrument panel and said instrument visual displays communicable coupled to said control system, and said instrument visual displays mounted to be viewed from inside said cockpit;
at least one set of rudder pedals mounted to be actuated from inside said cockpit and communicably coupled to said control system;
at least one throttle quadrant, said throttle quadrant interchangeable, mounted to be actuated from inside said cockpit, and communicably coupled to said control system;
at least one control device, said control device interchangeable, either a yoke or a stick, mounted to be actuated from inside said cockpit, and communicable coupled to said control system;
a communications system, said communications system compatible with standard pilot headsets;
at least one chair situated inside said cockpit;
said control system capable of performing the following steps;
displaying simulated external views on said external view visual displays, said simulated external views changing in relation to a user'"'"'s actions;
displaying a plurality of simulated instruments on said instrument visual displays, said simulated instruments changing in relation to said user'"'"'s actions;
accepting said user'"'"'s actions via said instrument panel, said rudder pedals, said throttle quadrant, and said control device.

Abstract
A flight simulation system capable of simulating multiple aircraft through interchangeable instrument panels, throttle quadrants, and control devices (stick and/or yoke). The system has multiple visual displays capable of displaying simulated outside views and instrument displays (e.g. multiple aircraft, avionics suites, gauges, etc.). The instrument panels simulating a particular type of aircraft and containing switches, knobs, and/or buttons of approximately the same type and approximately the same location as in the simulated aircraft. The system containing a communications system compatible with standard pilot headsets and a pilot key for logging, storage, and permissions.
