If memory serves, Redbird FMX runs $50 or $55 an hour w/o instructor.

An FMX will fetch $50-65 depending on location.

I'd save my cash for some time to play/learn in one of those level d thingies

Redbird FMX

The one near me charges $70. You can go in the plane for $100. Might as well go in the plane. Especially if you are building hrs for a career.

Depends what I'd need the sim for.

When I used a Redbird FMX it was $75. Use an Elite in my home now.

Our local place charges $80/hr for a brand new FMX (to be delivered next week, in fact) without instructor, which is another $35-40/hr.

When I start paying more for the sim than it costs to fly the plane, I become suspicious of the value.

The marginal cost of flying an additional hour in the plane is <$100.

Full motion does not equal much. All Air Force UPT simulators are non motion and actually replaced motion sims. With the visual we have now you get the full effect of motion complete with people getting out with the leans.

I think locally here an hour is around 100 bucks and I don't even believe they are redbirds.

$0. Like someone else said, go fly for an hour.
