In comparison, L3 Airbus sims have the best visuals I've ever seen. Super clarity and 3D objects. I have no idea who certified those Boeing sims....oh wait, I do!
As L3 do not manufacture visual systems and the end user is free to select whatever visual system they desire, there is no correlation between Airbus/Boeing and visual systems on L3 FSTDs
FYI - Boeing are not involved with FSTD qualifications. The FSTD operator is responsible for this.
