Well as far as sims go most aircraft have a specific sim designed for it. fully functional controls and a wrap around screen. the software is designed then downloaded onto a computer, ive trained in sim trailers but theres stationary ones at certain training facilities usually in hangars of sorts. As far as at home sims theres actually some pretty neat kits on line with full controls and simulated cock pits for anywhere from $1k usd to $5k and up and can even be used with like flight sim x or whatever flying game you want really.
