@cjellwood: it's a polyester film coated with a layer of aluminium. It's basically the same thing as most bags of chips (crisps if you are in the UK). There is a vacuum pump to stretch the mirror so the surface is as smooth as possible and as close as possible to a sphere. The mirror reflects the light coming from the back projection screen toward the cockpit. The back projection screen is the white semi-spherical part seen above the cockpit.

Wow nice video, enjoyed seeing how the simulator was put together. Took me a moment to realize the bobbing thingies in the foreground are two other simulator units.

@bozo86 - thanks! I was one of the engineers working on the B777 in this video. Had a great time working with LFT and being in Berlin.

Can I say that I m proud of that machine ;-)

Does anyone know where the Mylar / PET (BoPET (Biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) can be sourced from? Everywhere I search for Mylar the max dimensions are 4.4ft W - and the one I see on the commercial SIMs are about 9ft W. Any help would be appreciated. darryl

[@DMoo10]

CAE stands for Canadian Aviation Electronics.

[@kingdong001]

how much do these cost to run?

[@murilovsilva]

At least a few thousand dollars per hour. The machine itself can cost more than 10 million dollars
