    Hi there,
    A lot of the time, in sim training, the full motion is switched off as heavy landings, stalls, crashes and so on can damage the motion equipment. You could fly a sim with motion off and not notice the difference.

    regards

    From using full motion sims a good bit i would agree with the crash part but not all sims would suffer damage from it.

    Depends on A/C type purely.

    Just a bit. Want a lot of spare cash in your pocket but then again knowing the DAA the rent is unlikely to be cheap. I'm flying out of T2 later I'll go have a look at the set up. I've been flying out twice I think since it's been there but never saw any signage or knew of its existence. I have to agree with the critical responses to the location... Landslide would have captured so much more in terms of footfall such as families waiting for inbound pax etc.. But hey who knows if even the DAA offered them any space landslide... Good luck to them anyway.

    Hi all,

    I flew this last Friday (12th July) and I have to say it was a great experience. I'm the developer of the Eiresim (www.eiresim.com) scenery's for FSX so it was interesting to see my stuff running in the sim. They are using FSX with the Aerosoft Dublin and Playsims VFR imagery for the ground textures which all in all results in a very immersive experience. I was lucky in that I had a voucher from the lads in return for my scenery's but you're correct in saying that it is quite pricey. I think it would be more beneficial to have a €20 cost which would result in a lot more taking up the offer. As pointed out there is no signage towards towards the sim and only for I knew it was there I would not have been aware of it.

    I hope they do well, anyways here's a quick pic of myself in the sim after doing a circuit of rwy 28.

    I flew out to Paris this afternoon and while wandering around T2 i was approached by a guy working for this sim company.. really nice guy he was just going up to people letting them know about the Sim and what not.. had a bit of a chat and what i didnt know or if i might have missed it in this thread there is an airport staff discount so you only have to pay 20 euros on showing your airport access ID for 45 minutes.. was temped mostly out of curiosity but was pressed for time.. 20 euros isnt so bad at all for 45 minutes if you have the benefit of being able to avail of the offer.

    I was offered to do this but it was way too expensive. Couldn't be bothered.
