[simpits-tech] F-4E Weapons System Trainer

[Richard Amos]

well jordan
i guess if i were in your situation, the first thing i would do is to find 
out all the information i could about the eqipment itself and also contact 
companies like FLIGHTSAFETY that acutally deal with those big box sims on a 
regular basis. ask a few questions think you might be suprised at what you 
will find.
