Flight sim people are on another level - Star Trek: Website

I don’t get this…at this point just take real fucking pilot lessons. It’ll probably be cheaper than buying this equipment lmao.
This person is probably a CFI, and simulator time is always cheaper than actual flight time. 25% of your flight time can be in a simulator when learning to fly.
Yes but I’m certified simulators. That ain’t no certified simulator.
I’ve seen certified simulators that are nothing more than a 27" monitor, a yoke, and a throttle control. That set-up looks better than any certified simulator that I’ve ever seen.

You are completely correct. Most certified simulators aren’t used for familiarisation training but basic manoeuvres. Buying a certified simulator is often extremely expensive and getting one you’ve built certified is insanely expensive and very, very complicated (which is why they often come as pre-assembled kits that flight schools can line up themselves).

I would wager one of my children that this set up isn’t certified.

I wouldn’t bet against you. This setup is for a jet, probably a commercial airliner. Nobody is officially learning to fly a 737 in some dude’s dining room.
