    The only body text is:
    The approximate size of the simulator is 13ft wide x 11ft long and 9ft high.
    It will include every switch and panel in the 747-400
    Built to accept full motion and visuals at a later date.
    This is a Ten year project.

    6 years to go!

    Naturally it will be controlled in time by the one and only Precision Simulator
