Simulator Evolution - The Old Days
I am not quite old enough to experience a Simulator that used to have a Television System (Cathode Ray Tube) connected to a Computer generating the visuals, but find it quite fascinating.
However a retired BA Captain I know recalls that he operated a 707 Sim with not just a CRT System but connected to a scale model of an Airport Landscape driven by a mounted moving camera providing roll, pitch, yaw and heavy lighting to provide depth of field.
I have searched the net in vain for information on such beasts. Can anybody offer any information.
thanks.
