The sims at Space Camp or AC? I'll assume AC based on your avatar. They're pretty cool. Lots of buttons and switches! I really enjoyed flying in them when i was there the atmosphere in the sims bay at AC is pretty cool.

ok first off depends on the program, my guess is you will be mach 3 so thats where ill go with this, they are large cockpit style simulators, the have a projection screen infront of you, there is a relatively simple hotas system, um there are a ton of switches only about a quarter of them work though, if you look at right stuff's pics there is a decent one of the cockpit

Actually since you're going to mach 2 if i remember right you don't have the big projection screen from what i saw this summer. But the sims still looked cool for mach 2 as well. Heck they looked more realistic and complete in alot of ways than the old mach 3 sims we had back in 96.

I liked the mach 2 sims because i'm a small person and they fit me better. The Mach 3 sims required quite a stretch on my part if i wanted to use the pedals (yes, even with the seat moved up).

Yeah, the sim bay for MIII has a better atmosphere IMHO. You're also taller than I am though Maytag.

Longer flights were kinda painful for me cause i had to sit up on the edge of the seat. I wonder if it just got stuck or something because I'm not THAT short so it should have fit better...
