NASA gives glimpse of world's most realistic flight simulator
It's called NASA's Vertical Motion Simulator. In layman's terms, it's perhaps the most realistic flight simulator in the world, a video-gamer's dream. On Friday, NASA celebrated the 30th anniversary of the simulator, which is keeping a busy schedule despite the approaching end of one of its most famous uses -- allowing astronauts to simulate space shuttle flights before their missions.

@RobSJC well, MS' is a software, where NASA's is a fully fledged cabin with software on board, and actually, the MS' software is more "photo" realistic.
I wonder if NASA would consider opening this up to the public. There would be a lot of people out there who'd pay big bucks for using this for, say, and hour. I wonder if they could make it simulate a F-22?
This great "little toy" is located at Moffett Field (Mountain View) California Federal Airfield .. Interesting, considering the Shuttle Astronauts launch from the East Coast.
About the Avanti, real quite aircraft !
.. And Microsoft boasts, "As Real As It Gets" ... Guess they have not seen what NASA has !! LOL
