Flight Simulator

If your so keen that you buy a flight simulator game complete with fuselage, you might want to consider getting the sort with wings bolted on and be done with it.

  1. The winged simulator has lots of advantages: it has a myriad different levels of plane damage and pilot injury as the novice crashes into the ground at various speeds and angles.
    I wonder what the advertisements would sound like: "Witness infinite unexpected physical effects as You get sprayed with burning kerosene and run over by an aircraft carrier"?

  2. I like the ones the monkeys (APES!) used in the motion picture "Project X".

    I saw an arcade roller coaster simulator that used the same principle and the vibration had ruined the monitor's wires making the video unacceptable and unconvincing.

    The solution is a large screen on which a smaller image is jiggled up and down, left and right, clockwise and counter clockwise.

    How about video projected onto an articulated mirror then to a rear projection screen?
