So I've been having fun with the kids making train videos, put the second one up today -
Lego Train Video and this sort of going to be part of it, except it got very wobbly, so I'll have to work in counter wieghts.
Dereck couldn't wait to get hold of the controls. Kane was first, then Tyler and finally the old man! hee hee!
Local media and dignitaries attended the unveiling of the MTSU Department of Aerospace's unique Air Traffic Control Training and Research Facility on March 14.
Media and VIPs were introduced to the simulator facility in Room S112 of the Business and Aerospace Building following brief remarks by MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee, aerospace Chair Dr. Wayne Dornan and Kevin C. Kelley, vice president for the Solutions Development Division of CSC (formerly Computer Science Corp.).
Aerospace students demonstrated the equipment and faculty and administrators answered questions about how the technology works.
CSC was the project contractor and delivered the equipment to MTSU in 2010, and renovation and construction took place in late fall and early winter.
The Air Traffic Control Training and Research Facility includes a seamless, 360-degree fiberglass control tower, the only one like it in the world, rising to 9 feet high with a diameter of 29 feet. It has 10 high-definition digital projectors to create the most realistic tower simulation available today, as well as 10 radar suites that can simulate both en-route and radar-approach control environments and a pseudopilot positions area.
Work also has begun on an interface with the CSC NexSim simulator in the ATC lab and the dispatch lab with its NexSim ramp tower and aircraft simulators at Murfreesboro Airport.
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 :)

The signboard says that this simulates a quake of level 7 on the Japanese scale. I must say, I didn't feel like it was too terrible, but then a) I was expecting it, b) I was sitting comfortably and c) there was nothing flying about the room.
I took video - on Youtube
This is a lunar eclipse simulator I built in about 30 minutes after realizing the weather was a bit too cloudy to always have a good view of the moon. It uses an Arduino UNO, a ShiftBrite Shield, a ChronoDot, a ShiftBar, and a Satellite Module 001. The code is very quick 'n dirty, it just dims the moon as it enters penumbra, starts tinting to red-orange as it passes through umbra totality, and reverse the process. All in real time, synchronized with the ChronoDot.
