And that's setting aside the limitations of the analogue visual system, consisting of a monochrome camera which "flew" over a model of the environs of an airfield
As I recall from my time at the BEA/BOAC Apprentice School next door, the model was so large that it had to be mounted vertically on the wall.
I also remember being told that the occasional spider in the field of view, which of course appeared to be gigantic at the scale of the model, could make sim sessions quite hairy.
