Talk:Advanced Technology Leisure Application Simulator

Consistent vandalism over months

Some strange, Lego obsessed weirdo child has been adding their simulator fanfiction to this page for months.

I’ve reverted it an added a desperately needed cleanup tag. Keep a watch in case they come back. 50.232.76.252 (talk) 02:08, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone looked into or studied the sinulator technology in general. when it started and what application is used for?

I worked on this simulator for a while...what do you want to know? Simulators date back to the original Link Trainer - they are used for simulating all sorts of vehicles - from jet fighters, to airliners, tanks, cars, you name it. SteveBaker (talk) 22:31, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Approximate size of the simulator units

For anyone who has previously worked on the simulators, what is the approximate size of each unit? (length by width by height approximate, please) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.108.90.66 (talk) 12:40, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know from visiting that the Star Tours flight simulators at Disneyland have 40 seats each. The seats are approximately ~18in/45cm wide. There are 5 rows, the front two rows have 8 seats apiece, the third row has 7 seats, the fourth 8 seats as with the first two rows, and the rear row has 9 seats. The elevation increases roughly 3in/8cm per row so those in the back can see over those in the front. The doors on the simulators are about 6.5ft/200cm tall to allow the public to enter and exit. From my recollection, there is about 1ft/35cm of height above the rear door to the top of the simulator, and the elevation change would add another 15in/38cm. Not clear on how far below the floor it extends; it's irregularly shaped. The doors seemed to be about 3in/8cm wide and just about touched both the left and right seats of the last row. So multiplying the seat width by 9 and adding two times the door width, the simulator's width is roughly 14ft/4.25m. The drawing I found in the patent (Which depicts the third row of seating different than real one) shows a width to length ratio of roughly 1:1.5. Extrapolating, that would mean the length is roughly 21ft/6.4m The height is approximately 8.75 feet/2.75m from the numbers mentioned above. So the best guess I can come up with from that data is roughly 21x14x8.75ft or 6.4x4.25x2.75m.—FA Jon (talk) 20:17, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
