[simpits-tech] Off Axis collimated 'out the window' displays

[Gene Buckle]

Derek, an "easy" way to get a curved mirror is to build it the same way
some simulator manufacturers do.

On the MD-83 simulator that Alaska Airlines has, they have this huge
curved mirror that's used as part of the display system.  The mirror
itself is just a sheet of silvered mylar.  The mirror frame has a material
that's drilled in a similar way to how an air hockey table is built.  They
use a vacuum pump to suck the mylar sheet to the surface.  It works quite
well.
