Joint strike fighter simulator is glimpse into future

I want one!!!

The A-10 simulator (obviously, primitive compared to this "traveing show") is the only game I have on my personal computers -- and I love it....

I have seen the A-10 training simulator at Eielson AFB. It was kind of interesting and the pilot seemed to have it completely under control. He had all the attitude gauges rotating this way and that and could bring it back to straight and level immediately. It seemed interesting but pointless.

In no way did it prepare me for seeing an actual A-10 ground strike. That is when the motion of the attitude gauges in the simulator made sense.
