Ltfransky Sith Lord Member Registered: 06/18/07 Posts: 501 Loc: Toronto, ON, Canada	Originally Posted By: The Nephilim Originally Posted By: BeachAV8R I did notice in the comments of the YouTube video someone mentioned "when this simulator came to BED (Bedford, MA?).." So is this a mobile sim on a trailer? Hi Beach here is the Company with the F22sim in a portable config and semi portable config note the MFD's and Cougar HOTAS so here is some F22 porn: http://www.metavr.com/casestudies/f-22.html they basically make software to make your Own simulator and they built this Declassified sim pretty cool wish I could go see it still.. Ok, now THAT is a great sim. I wonder what that setup would cost? _________________________ Please Heatware Me! Ours is not to reason why. Ours is to do or die.

Any further discussions on that will be deleted from this thread. ---------- Here is a photo of the "real" simulator I guess. It looks like they have a stand-in helmet system. And that isn't Las Vegas terrain...anyone know what airfield? (Oceana? Patuxent?) PIC BeachAV8R _________________________ Subscribe to PC Pilot magazine! -- (I write for them!)

BeachAV8R Contributing Editor Lifer Registered: 01/22/01 Posts: 20982 Loc: Charlotte, NC USA	Another funny article/video that shows how the Military Industrial Complex is sort of like any other PR/Advertising firm. For the PR trip to see the F-35 in action they flew these reporters down to Pax River in a V-22 from the Pentagon. LOL.. I assume to get them all psyched up for the demo and showcase another piece of military hardware. Not that I'm opposed to it..but operating a V-22, even on a short 30 minute flight segment has to be extremely expensive (when the drive is what..90 minutes?). http://defense.aol.com/2011/07/29/f-35b-decision-data-ready-next-summer-says-venlet-press-gets-f/ And what the heck is AOLDefense? I have this image of little running men icons heading into battle with battlegear on.. BeachAV8R _________________________ Subscribe to PC Pilot magazine! -- (I write for them!)

Maybe it's an Iranian base.. _________________________ Subscribe to PC Pilot magazine! -- (I write for them!)
