Not quite in the sim, but quite funny anyway:
A few years ago I went on a visit to RAF Waddington and one of the sections we visited was the simulator.
We all stood watching the sim move around through a window from the control room. The glass in this window was slightly odd in that it was very hard to see, I am not sure if it was due to the lighting or the material it was made from. Anyway, said glass is covered in strips of day-glo tape so you can see it, or so you would think. In about 10 minutes I watched 3 or so people bang their heads into the glass trying to look inside the simulator area.
Was quite funny to watch at the time. Possibly a helmet would have saved damage there too?

A.S.I
