Simviation Forums

Amongst the clutter can be found some excellent nose-sections and simulators.


A C-47 nose adorned with a tribute to a subject very dear to the combat airman's heart.... that's right; sleep.
Unfortunately, I could not get around to the back to get a pic of one of my favorite flight decks, so familiar to me now from many happy hours in FS9.
Did I mention I love those Gooneys?








A random hunk of sim hardware... hmmm, where's the USB cable...?


     



A more contemporary bit of hardware: a Frasca helicopter simulator.

     









I think this is part of the instructor's station for the Frasca...

     


Next: sims, cockpits part 2

I wonder if John has spotted these yet..... he'll want them all

They look pretty much like orientation cockpits, like understanding instrument layout etc. They bug me not being able to see simulated terrain etc. -nice pic's!

The wooden box, maybe, but the Frasca is a full-on (IFR?) simuator. There's even an old plotting table, but it was under a cloth.
Not positive, but it's possible that there was a small model of a helicopter mounted under that plexiglass box, to show the sim pilot the results of his control inputs. I'll ask next time I"m there.

Oh that makes sense, a model would represent perfectly fine the visual flight dynamics and control input's.

found this picture of a different old-type Frasca sim... looks like I was right. Same mechanism, with a little model hanging off it just left of center:
