The shininess of the gauges is due to the monitors behind them still having their protective plastic on them as they are still occasionally being removed and tampered with.

Mission: SPACE is a motion simulator thrill ride at Epcot. It simulates what an astronaut might experience aboard a spacecraft on a mission to Mars, from the higher g-force of blastoff to the speculative hypersleep.
The attraction opened to the public in a "soft opening" mode in June 2003, and celebrated its grand opening on October 9 with a ceremony attended by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, HP CEO Carly Fiorina and NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe, as well as several NASA astronauts from its many phases of human space exploration (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, the space shuttle program and two crew members aboard the International Space Station).
The attraction was built on the former site of Horizons, a dark ride that offered optimistic visions of what life might be like in the future. Horizons closed permanently in 1999 after a few years of sporadic operation; construction began on Mission: SPACE shortly thereafter. Industry estimates put the cost of developing the new attraction at US$100 million.
Initially it was sponsored by Compaq, which began working with Disney Imagineers on the design in April 2000. Hewlett-Packard assumed the sponsorship upon its merger with Compaq in 2002. The simulator hardware used in Mission: SPACE was designed and built by Environmental Tectonics Corporation of Pennsylvania with a nearly $30 million contract awarded in February 2000. Environmental Tectonics sued Disney in 2003 seeking over $15 million US alleging failure to pay the full amount of the contract and sharing proprietary design details with competitors. Disney countersued alleging the company failed to deliver according to the contract and increased the cost of the ride by nearly $20 million US. The companies settled in January 2009

This years annual trade exhibition is at ExCeL London.
This exhibitor is displaying their Ship to Shore container handling crane simulator.
The Full Flight Simulator is manufactured by Thales Training & Simulation to support the SSJ100 Program
The fully-functioning compass and the overhead panels. The Prop Amps and DC Volts gauges are fully-operational. The compass is likely to be available as a new product shortly also.
This yoke is actually a real one and won't be used in the final design. It is currently being employed for testing purposes.
A closer shot of the Radio/GPS panel and the annunciators. A lot of the annunciators will function, which will be done by writing our own code and using our own boards.

There's a very significant size difference between the iPad Simulator and the real thing (especially when you take account of the different ratios of screen to bezel sizes). In this case, the Simulator is running on a 24" (1920x1200) iMac.
The Simulator's screen is physically at least 25% wider, for example. If you've sized your UI to fit your fingers as held up against your Mac's screen, you may well need to make things bigger for the actual device.
My first attempt to start the train to Trogen at the station St.Gallen, and film at the same time. The simulator was donated by Stadler Rail AG to the Locorama museum. The switchbox behind it makes the authentic sounds. Unfortunately I discovered this thing just before they shut the museum and could not try for long. But I will go there again, it's cool.
