@cjellwood: it's a polyester film coated with a layer of aluminium. It's basically the same thing as most bags of chips (crisps if you are in the UK). There is a vacuum pump to stretch the mirror so the surface is as smooth as possible and as close as possible to a sphere. The mirror reflects the light coming from the back projection screen toward the cockpit. The back projection screen is the white semi-spherical part seen above the cockpit.

@bozo86 - thanks! I was one of the engineers working on the B777 in this video. Had a great time working with LFT and being in Berlin.

Wow nice video, enjoyed seeing how the simulator was put together. Took me a moment to realize the bobbing thingies in the foreground are two other simulator units.

Very interesting, very good !!!

Great video there ! Awesome . I see that 5000 series is working hard over there . Must be 2W10

6:33 damn! this guy is doing aerobatics with the sim

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , strain wave redcuer, robot gear joint , over 30 years experience

damn didn't know they where that flexible.

Does anyone know where the Mylar / PET (BoPET (Biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) can be sourced from? Everywhere I search for Mylar the max dimensions are 4.4ft W - and the one I see on the commercial SIMs are about 9ft W. Any help would be appreciated. darryl
