During WW II we had a simulator at Lake Charles. It was a real B-26 Martin
Marauder truncated and mounted in a hanger. When youi climbed into it you
could
smell the cordite, urine, vomit and 100 octane.You strapped yourself in
and you
could smell the leather on the seats. It behaved llike a real plane in
every
sense including the feel of the controls, the operation of the Norden
bombsight
and the results of doing bomb runs in that simulator. Now that is a
simulator.

Damned, I didn't know they did full motion simulators in WWII.
It must have been, you said "it behaved like a real plane in every sense."

MSFS doesn''t quite cut it.. But in those years with a war on, flying was
a
serious life and death affair, especially in Marauders. . No nonsense
allowed.
