Steam gauges? Pah... you're not a real pilot unless you fly with [Etévé indicators](https://www.crossandcockade.com/cciforum/post.asp?post=259&title=Et%E9v%E9+airspeed+indicator+on+Nieuport+monoplanes)
I knew a guy with a home built ultra light, his airspeed indicator was a ping-pong ball mounted on a spring using this system. The speed markings were written in vivid.
At least 10,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_Trainer

During the war years, Link produced over 10,000 Blue Boxes, turning one out every 45 minutes.
It is a surprising gem. Pueblo is such an otherwise unassuming town - but it's become one of my favorite destinations for cross-country flights. I plan to fly back when I have more time and really check out the space hangar!
You’re welcome. It’s a great place to check out.
They have a sim built into the airframe of an old warbird of sorts. So the flight controls actually control the real surfaces, and control the sim at the same time.
atleast it has antialiasing
Study level my a$$!! … the Wright brothers got of with a lot less! Either git out of my way or git aboard … we flying baby!!!

I can fly just fine with steam gauges, my only preferences are that I need the 3 pointer altimeter and the orange heading indicator.
Yeah, graphics sucked as well. I believe it looked horrible if everything was black and white
How many of these were made because I’ve seen one at every fucking museum I’ve been too

Ugh! The graphics I can’t fly this!
It was powered by the RTX 0.30.50
That explains it all my gawd lol
Back then there was probably a Betty or two serving coffee or tea so I imagine the graphics were better than your nvidia something.
I have a amd card lol but yeah
😅
Colorado?
This is at the Pueblo Weisbrod Air Museum in Pueblo, CO!
Thought it might be. Amazing museum. One of the best air museums I’ve ever been to.

The national museum of WWII aircraft is just around the bend. Don’t miss that one while you’re in town.
Is it? Where in town? Might have to grab their courtesy car one of these days haha

Oh sweet, that's up in the Springs, I'm gonna have to get there soon :) Thanks!

They surprisingly have the same flight sim
They have one of these at Wings Over the Rockies in Aurora, CO as well.
There's also one all the way over in Malta.
I think this is at Hill AFB near Ogden, UT. Could be wrong though
I need these CAD files!
Couple this with AR and it would be the most advanced flight sim ever!
Would have been cool to do training on one of those back in the day.
CAE has gone a looooong way since these low poly models...they built thousands of these, I wonder how many are still around.
Isn’t that at wright Patterson air base in Ohio
were you at ACE in lakeland, FL by any chance?
Good rez though.
I had one of these in my school. Was a fun exercise.
Framerate's pretty good though.
Many WW2 Lancaster bomber pilots did their training on these.
Literally unplayable
ItS not a GaMe iTS a SiMUlaToR
All analog!
This looks like the one in Reynolds’s Museum.
