Hey
Cant really help on the cash side, but i will drop some hints to some people when i got a a RAES event, especially the sim one coming up...
I can help technical wise, i have done electronics and interfacing at Uni, learning c code, and know a think or two about physics "Mech Eng Degree" student.
I think its a good project, as i say, will mention it at the event to people i talk too, however, there is a fair deal of red tape in these companies.
There are a few atc squadrons with these flight sims on wheels...
For example...
One has a bull-dog fusalage, on a trailer, started off with just a basic tv and joke/throtle, they have added and added to it and its got some working instruments, the joke i mean stick, is the real one, etc, etc...
I noticed another ATC over the east that has the same setup with a Bull-Dog and some screens etc...
I think the first funded the developments by local funding for PCS in turn for advertising, they charged for 10 mins in the sim, think it was £2,
The BA sim on wheels is a good example, however, the screen they use bugs the hell out of me
Some of the best times ever i had in the ATC, loved every minute, flying the real bull-dog was the best, these new things they have, grobs are they? where rubbish in my memory... Remember doing some loops and rolls in the bull-dog...
I recon some local funding could be a good idea, as i am sure a i read about a Jetstreem prop sim, where it was all donated by local companies, and fund raising...
