First F-35 full mission simulator delivered
« on: April 20, 2011, 05:56:59 PM »
Eglin Air Force Base has just taken delivery of a piece of hardware that would surely be the ultimate toy for flight sim gaming fans. The F-35 Lightning II Full Mission Simulator (FMS) system includes a high-fidelity 360-degree visual display system and a reconfigurable cockpit that can simulate all three variants of the F-35 Lightning II for U.S. and international partner services – the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35A, the short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) F-35B, and the F-35C carrier variant.

Maybe it's the first F-35 sim that Eglin AFB got, but I have hard time believing that it's that it's the first one that Lockheed made.

Most of those fans would not be able to afford such as thing  ;)
