It costs more than th eBoeing it represents, IIRC. It's certified for
zero time training, and has a state of the art visuals.

Costs more than the Boeing it represents? I don't think so. A typical
full-motion simulator of that type would go for perhaps $30 million, whereas
something like a 737 starts at around $135 million new.

Oh, and by the way, it's common knowledge amongst pilots, that guys who
can handle th esim well are usually **** in the ariplane and vice versa.

Pilots spend a lot of time blowing smoke and tilting mirrors, too.
