Roy, have you seen the new "external load" simulator.  They use a 
projector pointing down at the floor at a slight angle toward the 
cockpit so when you hang your head out the door you can see the load 
hanging under the helicopter.  Pretty cool idea.  I am really interested 
in the "Dome" that uses a single projector with a special lens that 
projects a 120 degree image.  The price of the lens has to be cheaper 
than 2 more projectors.

motion-simulation = 90% visual + 10% real-motion.

One very important requirement for the visual system: peripheral coverage,
so at least 120 degrees, more is better.

with monitors but you'd probably microwave your grey matter.

I'm using 3 up-front monitors at 30' to each other, plus 2 'chin window'
monitors since I'm building a helo pit.

Now if I only had an extra 50,000 for this project.....

Roy.
