      Just go take a tour of the flight simulator at the Delta Museum in Atlanta. For a small fee, you can fly their 737-200 full level D flight simulator, under supervision, with a full 6 degree motion system and wrap around visual.

      Delta moved one of it's older 737-200 (Delta no longer flies , owns or uses this older version of the 737) to their flight museum. This full flight simulator has motion and visual and is located in the delta base facilities but it is open to the public. To fly this simulator under supervision, you can either pay a small fee to use it or you can use some of your flying miles. In the same old hangar as the simulator is the retired 767 on display which the employees bought for the airline, I think back in the sixties. There is also a retired 747 on display , outside the museum, for people to tour.

  • @jameskoralewski3583

    In our 737 full flight sims, the window heat switches did nothing other then tell the computer that the switch was either turned on or off. Any secondary effects from turning on the window heat switches, would then be handled completely by the computer and routed to those specific secondary systems by the computer for interaction.

  • @jameskoralewski3583
    @jameskoralewski3583 6 років тому +2

    Flight simulators are not really that difficult to learn. There are mostly four basic systems. Digital inputs to the computer, to notify the computer that some switch or button has been pressed, like pushing a fire test button . Digital outputs from the computer, used to allow the computer to turn on a light to some system like illuminating the red fire test light that you just pushed the button to test.. Analog inputs, like any varying input that the computer needs to monitor for changing position, like throttles or speed brakes. These devices are not just on of off, but can put into many different selections, all which must be continually monitored and updated by the computer. And lastly analog outputs , a varying amount that the computer must continuously keep changing, like a fuel quantity gauge. There are a couple of special other systems like a synchro output card. These are used when the computer needs to continuously update some gauge that rotates 360 degrees. The computer does this by using a synchro output card for smooth 360 degree operation, like driving the heading on your HSI indicator.

    • @jameskoralewski3583
      @jameskoralewski3583 6 років тому +1

      I never saw any full flights with active smoke machines installed. It would easy to do, however. We already have them in our cockpit door simulators where flight attendants learn hot to handle cabin doors and windows in emergency situations.

    There are more realistic simulators but that is awesome. If you are curious try one of the British Airways machines. The whole thing moves, rocks and reacts like it would in real life. You feel the weather and wind current and the outside looks ridiculously real. It's pretty scary when you get into a nasty storm and you fight for control. You can feel the plane drop even though it's a simulator.
