Two flight simulators, at Wight Aviation Museum (WAM), have been enhanced with the assistance of Island-based videogame development studio, Stainless Games.
The exhibit uses a 3D headset, enabling anyone who wants to practice the real-world challenges of flying.
It is housed in the museum’s genuine Bulldog fuselage, and visitors to its base at Sandown Airport can use it to experience taking off and flying above the Island.
Another fully playable exhibit is of Stainless Games’ 2008 title, Red Baron Arcade. The original Red Baron was released in arcade cabinet form by Atari in 1980, and was notable for being the first ‘first-person’ video flight simulator.
Neil Barden, of Stainless Games, also created new head-in-the-hole boards for the museum using graphic AI tools.
