Dave,

Hey... thanks for the great pix!

That first shot you posted makes the simulator platform look like it is going to be set up for full motion or something....the enclosed and riased setup an all?

The overhead looks nice...... simple but realistic enough to give a good "feel" of the real thing.

best,

You're welcome John. I came across them over at The JFK Int. Airport Web Site. Some of the air traffic controllers are doing it in their spare time! Like they don't get enough airplanes, now they want to fly them too!! Wink

If you look closely to that first pic you will see cylinders for motion, so you are right Cheesy

its nice, going to build one like that only without the motion platform:D
