It seems all the talk on the forums is about flight simulators or games...

Here is a great loss:

http://www.vickersviscount.net/Pages_History/BAF%20Simulator.aspx

If you read the above article you will have read that nobody wanted the simulator for free and it was destroyed...

Here is a shot of another great four engine aircraft flight simulator...

Have looked all over to see if there are any four engine piston powered aircraft flight simulators with motion but no luck yet...lots of twins...etc...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

No one knew the value of anything in the 80's.

In one of the biggest blunders in business history IBM practically gave away its computer operating system (DOS) because it believed that the money was in hardware, not software. An unknown company named Microsoft bought it for $50,000.
