This Ultra-HD, Multi-Million, Military F-16 Flight Simulator runs on 120 Intel Dual Core PCs with $400 graphic cards inside a special industrial casing.
Take a look at the terrain graphics...

I think Aces High is better!

I don't know that looked pretty tight! It's a pick 'em :D
-
Pretty awesome!
-
120 computers to run it!
-
I'll bet in 20 years we all have a little "bubble" in our basement that we play flight sims in.
-
I bet 50 PS3s could handle that sim... :D

what they didnt show you was the hydrolic platform it was on!

I'm sure its quite similar to the C-17 Flight sim!

You should see the hydraulic pump that moves it! It has its own room!

I'd wouldn't pay anymore than $29.95 per month... Wonder if friendly collisions are on?
-
Very nice looking sim :aok That full 180 degree view would be great :)

AH looks better than that? Even from the low-res video, I can tell that it's an insult to the F-16 simulator to compare them.

Probably before then!
I was listening to NPR yesterday on the ride home from work, and I caught a segment on a challenge to build the world's smallest laser. One team built a laser so small that it cannot be seen through a microscope. It resides on a floating molecule of gold.
Here's an article: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112416498 (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112416498)
Fascinating. And my brain struggles to comprehend the actual size of it, let alone how they made it!

Nothing. She'd be packing.

When a Government toilet seat costs $1500 of course a computer game is expensive.
But at least it's an important tool that saves lives. I tried an Airforce mobile Simulator at a street fair in Charlotte NC. :cool: Nice hook to get recruits. :salute

Pretty sure its not an insult seeing we only pay 15 a month to play this simulator, our taxes probably pay 8 nerds 6 figures a year just to run the thing, its like comparing different weight classes of fighters, Aces High being a feather weight and the simulator being a ultra heavy weight :aok

NOW I finally know why my AH doesnt run as smooth as it should... I need 119 more computers!!! :devil
