lobo Posted December 8, 2019 Author Posted December 8, 2019 Well, looks like they had extra money now that they are not paying $10,000 per toilet seat. https://www.military.com/defensetech/2018/07/11/air-force-no-longer-spending-10000-toilet-seats-officials-say.html Seriously though, I can't imagine the rig I could put together for $15,000 USD...

BitMaster Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 15k$..LoL But you know how much hassle it was to get them sold...all the meetings and paperwork, the payment delays and what not else....should have charged 20k$. If it goes over 5 grand it's a nightmare. They pay more for their incompetence in getting things sorted imho.

Sn8ke_iis Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 $15,000! I need to make a bid to the USAF. To be fair though, in military contracts it's typical to include delivery, installation, and maintenance for X years. Sad part is though, due to procurement red tape, that stuff's already obsolescent. Saw a good article a while back about an F-15 sim upgrade in Florida. They went with multimonitor flat screens versus the old dome screen setup. I love VR but would love one of these in my gameroom. "Low cost" is definitely relative in this case. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1121086/f-15c-simulators-provide-low-cost-critical-training/
