USS Midway full flight simulator

[Captain Kurt]

Just got back from San Diego, there on business. But I had a whole evening to visit the carrier USS Midway. I got to fly one of their $25,000.00 full motion fighter flight simulators. You strap in to an enclosed cockpit with a video panel view projected in front of you. It moves in all flight attitudes 360 degrees matching the attitude and direction you are flying the airplane in complete with G forces. Very realistic. But guess what the combat simulation software was? Pure CFS2 - flying an F4F against Zeros!! I got one too. LOL

Now, where am I going to come up with $25,000 to buy one?

Did you tell them they they need to update to OH aircraft?

I will have to check that out sometime.Well CFS 2, despite it's age is still an excellent sim.I like it more than anything else have flown, even IL-2 modded(heavily).I am sure with all the 3rd party stuff on here, plus the full motion aspect would quite an experience.

Yeah!

Let's only hope to be able keeping it compatible with present time OS like Win8, or, worse, Win10. I keep reading about SOH members' OS migration nightmares here and I think about the dreadful moment I'll have to purchase a new machine that will not take XP for love or money........

Mmmmmm......a new mortgage perhaps?
