An old version of Flight Simulator, this is going back some years, hard disk! I bought many editions after this one, but have kept this as it was my first :)

SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM FIXED BASE GUIDANCE AND NAVIGATION SIMULATOR
One of only three advanced space shuttle orbiter simulators used to train NASA astronauts.
The fixed-base Guidance and Navigation Simulator (GNS) represents one of only three simulators once used to train astronauts for the Space Shuttle Program at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Along with the motion-base Shuttle Mission Simulator (SMS) and the Fixed-Base Simulator (FBS), these complex machines were used to create a series of various mission tasks ranging from full mission rehearsals down to recreating specific exercises such as atmosphere entry or launching satellites.
Predating the SMS and FBS, the GNS was built in the late 1970s and operational by 1982. Initially it was primarily used only to test and verify guidance and navigation software that would later be installed in the SMS, FBS, and orbiters. As such it originally did not have visual computer-generated windscreen displays and much of the interior was unfinished, though it did contain the same complex array of cockpit instrumentation, controls, and computer displays operated by five distinct general-purpose computers (GPC) present in actual orbiters.
Following the Challenger accident investigation, the Rogers Commission suggested that NASA invest in additional crew training simulators to provide increased and expanded training and to handle the higher frequency of missions. However, the cost of providing an additional SMS or FBS proved too expensive, so NASA elected to upgrade the GNS into a full fixed-base crew simulator that was essentially identical to the FBS.
The upgraded GNS flight deck was enhanced to provide a more realistic appearance and a full visual computer-generated imagery system for the six forward facing windscreens. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) was a new science in the early 1980s and all the simulators used a first-generation CGI system, rudimentary by today's standards.
For 20 years the upgraded GNS was used interchangeably with the FBS and it is likely that every post-Challenger crew spent time in the GNS practicing launch, ascent, orbit, re-entry, and landing procedures.
With the end of the Space Shuttle Program, the GNS was retired in 2011. In late 2020 the GNS was used on the set of a science fiction movie due to be released in late 2021 [not sure why they’re being cryptic, its Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall]. The filmmakers modified the simulator's external appearance, making the GNS more closely resemble the outer surface of an actual orbiter, along with internal cabin modifications. Following movie shooting, the GNS flight deck was donated to the Pima Air & Space Museum in early 2021.

CUMTD purchased two driving simulators in 2010 with ARRA funds. The simulators are used with trainees to acclimate them to the controls and basic maneuvers of a bus. These high-tech tools are also useful in retraining for experienced operators. The software was designed to replicate the community we serve. This allows our trainers to recreate an accident that occurred and discuss improvements with an operator.
There is also tremendous benefit for the environment. The simulators take our buses off the street, which saves money and reduces general wear and tear. Manufacturer's website: faac.com/index2.html
Athan traveled all the way to the California Science Center in Los Angeles, California to be in a hurricane ... simulator.
An interior view of the simulator shows a railway engineering student trying his hand at the throttle of a virtual train of 97 cars and two SD60s ascending the 1% grade at South Fork, KY on the CNO&TP Second District (a.k.a. "The Rathole"), north of King's Mountain.
A standard control stand and WABCO brake system is to his left. Two smaller screens show the track profile (note the grade), train forces and performance graphs. The projection screen shows the exteroir view, and the colored lights to the right repeat the aspect of approaching signals when they are within viewing distance (the quality of the laser disc technology makes the signals difficult to see on-screen.)
Coincidentally, the simulator was designed and built at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago in 1992.
