My 2 year old daughter took a recent interest the Microsoft Flight Simulator. As one thing leads to another with toddlers, It only seemed fitting that I built her a scaled replica 737-800 in our living room. There was no limit to her imagination. Our passengers were mainly stuffed animals. The first Flight of 'ToddlerAir' is available on YouTubeJust to be clear, I don't current hold a commercial or even private pilot's license. My background in design and branding. Most the visuals in the Toddler Flight Simulator stem from my interest in aviation and short film making background.
The 'aircraft' seen is most made of foam board, an skill one would only gain in art school. I logged a brief few hours in 2006 towards my private pilot's license training from Linden Airport with Pegasus Flight School.My motivation for creating the role-playing game and "flight simulator" happened during moment of inspiration over the recent Thanksgiving weekend. I had the plan to fly my flight simulator when I quickly had the idea of involving my daughter by quickly arranging her small chairs in front of the simulator. She enthusiastically joined in brought her stuffed animals and dolls to "sit" in the chairs and took special care to buckle everyone in. This combination of my interests in aviation created an arena for my daughter's growing imagination. Initial build of the 737-800 Exterior and Cockpit I also want to credit my father in the times we would go plane spotting at our local airports, and especially the hours we logged in the Microsoft Flight Simulator (editions 1995-1998).
Thats there we continued logging our time in the viral cockpit.I've also shared flight recently over the summer. We took to a regional airport that offered dinning directly adjacent to the taxi way and airport. If you're in the area or need a quick fly in, go for Lincoln Park AIrport in NJ. The close up view gave my daughter the chance to watch various Cessnas come and go and student helicopter train. In closing the film and simulator setup became a unique combination of my film, storytelling and aviation interests that crossed into parenthood. The piece is equally a early parenthood story as much as it is flight. Especially how my daughter enjoy the acting out of the process of airliner travel. (Of which she is yet to even do) Perhaps this experience will prepare her for that journey soon. I also want to personal thank, Mary Kirby of The Runway Network for first sharing our piece with the aviation community in December 2014, You can read her original piece here. The 737-800 cockpit takes shape.

Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top From the pictures I have seen of airline simulators, it looks like the range of motion is limited to somewhat level flight. Are there any flight simulators, possibly military trainers, that can do a complete barrel roll? Pulseworks makes some full motion sims that are capable of inverted flight and infinite barrel rolls. These sims fall into the entertainment category more than the training category, but they are full motion, in cockpit sims. I have also been in a similar type of sim at a Harris/Boeing sponsored party in Seattle made by a company whose name I cannot remember that did the same thing.
That one in fact was capable not only of rolls but also loops and could be pretty violent (I wanted to see if it would spin... it did). Here's a video of one of the Pulseworks models. They have some at the Udvar-Hazy center at IAD (free admission, and a shuttle from the terminal). They cost a bit of money to get into. They are also often setup in pairs so you can go into a dogfighting scenario with the box next to you. It is possible to design one which does but impractical. The PulseWorks simulator, while entertaining, is not realistic and cannot accurately simulate inverted flight. The simulators motion is not made so the sim cabin matches the actual attitude of the real aircraft during maneuvers; rather to induce sensory illusions in the trainee crew which match what one would expect in flight. Full Motion Simulators (FMS) are used, primarily for transition and currency training on large aircraft which operate in the air transport category and where the training is simply impractical for both cost and safety reasons to do it in the real thing.
They are designed to create motion which can mimic sensory illusions during flight in the +1-1.3 G range, typical for all commercial air carrier or cargo operations. As such building a simulator with full inverted capability would simply be unwarranted for the requirements of a typical FMS. It also provides a pretty inaccurate simulation of the kinesthetics of inverted flight, as most inverted condition end up being in the positive G range. It's also not practical for aerobatic or military flight training as at most it could only simulate -1G and -1-2G for a brief moment, and the whole simulator module would have to be rolled inverted for the effect even when simulating negative G maneuvers while the aircraft is erect. I believe there was one at RAFC Cranwell that could go inverted. Source: my sister's, at the time, fiancée who was training there. I may be remembering wrong - it was a while ago. Also, while not a flight sim in itself, many years ago there was an arcade cabinet for Sega's G-LOC called the R360 that had full 360 degree motion about all axis.
