Formerly used at Johnson Space Center to train space shuttle astronauts, this full-scale shuttle orbiter cockpit simulator is now in the Lone Star Flight Museum at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas.
An up close and personal look at the Microsoft Train Simulator decal that was applied to the nose of BNSF 4723 over 20 years ago. Somewhat amazingly, the sticker has withstood the test of time, still clearly visible and with a pretty darn good color match as well.

This "Cockpit Systems Simulator" was used at the Alitalia Training Center from 1980 to 1997 for the training of pilots and flight technicians, for a total of 32,600 hours.
Today it "rests" in the Museum of Flight at Volandia, next to the Milan Malpensa airport (Italy).
Trainee pilots were required to pass a series of test missions in fully enclosed flight simulators. The advanced missions lasted weeks, and students had to cope with confined spaces and the intense loneliness of space travel.
this is a simulator that can produce what is called a backdraft
It is used to teach firefighters to recognize the signs of a backdraft. I.E. the smoke color and movement as it is ocuring.
Harrier Jump Jet flight simulator was on that day. I went and it was short, graphics old and bad and nothing really happened except that moving chair made me almost sick. Helsinki-Malmi Airport, Finland.

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
Both grandchildren got a chance to fly a simulator. Grandson landed it and did great, granddaughter crashed but have fun.
There was a monitor setup outside so it was possible to see how well they were doing flying the jet.

This circular enclosure, made to appear larger still by an array of mirrors at its end, is ESA’s Large Space Simulator. Some 15 m high and 10 m in diameter, it is cavernous enough to accommodate an upended double decker bus.
Europe’s largest vacuum chamber, it subjects entire satellites to space-like conditions ahead of launch. Lowered through a top hatch, satellites are placed on the motion system seen in the centre, which is able to simulate their movements in space.
Once the top and side hatches are sealed, high-performance pumps create a vacuum a billion times lower than standard sea level atmosphere, held for weeks at a time during test runs.
The mirror array seen in the image reflects simulated sunlight into the chamber, at the same time as the walls are pumped full of –190°C liquid nitrogen, together recreating the extreme thermal conditions prevailing in orbit.
Portuguese-born Edgar Martins collaborated closely with ESA to produce a comprehensive photographic survey of the Agency’s various facilities around the globe, together with those of its international partners.
The striking results were collected in a book and exhibition, The Rehearsal of Space and The Poetic Impossibility to Manage the Infinite.
Characteristically empty of people, Martins’ long-exposure photos – taken with analogue wide-film cameras – possess a stark, reverent style. They document the variety of specialised installations and equipment needed to prepare missions for space, or to recreate orbital conditions for testing down on Earth.
