Creating a 24/7 Simulator Flying Environment

Using projectors in daylight does not give a great visual experience, or at least, that is what we think. The solution: put up blinds. Problem, we are in a hangar and the ceiling is over 60 feet above us. Hum !! Solution … ask someone to loan a cherry-picker.

That is what we have done. In doing so we now have a facility that can be used during the day when there is bright sunshine and we will still have the right settings to get a great visual result on the cinema-sized screen from the three HD projectors.

Black shroud now in place …. Big isn’t it ??

Now that you've seen it, book your flight today for your chance to jump inside a full sized Spitfire and take it to the virtual skies!
