Fly This Sim (FTS) has added new capabilities to its home- and flight school-based TouchTrainer simulator systems, the company announced at Flying Aviation Expo. The touch screen enabled simulators can now add what the company calls VisX, which provides nearly a 180-degree view of the flight environment. The VisX visuals are displayed on three screens that can be added to previous systems for $2,400. A complete home-based system with VisX costs $7,800, including shipping.

Those who want even better visual capabilities can add Visual Motion with three oversized screens, providing an even more realistic environment. The Visual Motion screens add $6,000 or $11,670 for the complete system.
