Another of the flight simulator control rig. All the controls are fastened to the board, so I can just lift the board all together and stick it behind a bookshelf out of the way.

Auburn University student Joseph Young uses his night-flying skills in a new Fidelity/Motus 622i Advanced Aviation Training Device, a full-motion flight simulator that can be programmed to replicate a variety of aircraft. Auburn officials recently dedicated and named the machine as the Solon Dixon Simulator in honor of Solon Dixon, a 1926 graduate of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, now Auburn University.
The simulator affords air traffic control students a look at 10 airports, allowing them to practice commands for landing and take-off.
At this year's Engineering and Computer Science orientation, students enjoyed more than hot dogs and burgers -- they had the chance to get in the cockpit of a professional race car simulator.
