ABSTRACT:
The specification describes a structure for a vehicle simulator in which realism is maximized. For a simulator in which a trainee can see out, the outer surface is contoured to match the contour of the vehicle being simulated only over that surface which is seen from the trainee's seat. To accomplish this, a first pair of sills are supported above a base surface by a first plurality of ribs, and a second pair of sills are supported above the first pair of sills by a second plurality of ribs. The length of the second ribs space the second sills above the first sills by a distance pre-calculated to cover only the portion of the vehicle that is visible to the trainee.
