Abstract: The invention is a vehicle simulator. The vehicle simulator has a vehicle simulator operator environment, a vehicle simulator base, a boom connecting the vehicle simulator operator environment to the vehicle simulator base and at least one articulating mechanism. The at least one articulating mechanism is for rotating the vehicle simulator operator environment along at least one axis of rotational motion to provide for a tilting motion of the vehicle simulator operator environment along a Z-axis of rotation. There is also an articulating mechanism for moving the vehicle simulator operator environment along at least an X-axis of rotational motion along the boom and a Y-axis of translational motion with the boom relative to the vehicle simulator base.

Abstract: The invention is a vehicle simulator operator environment. The vehicle simulator operator environment has a plurality of ports, which plurality of ports are adapted to engage with simulator control devices and/or displays that corresponds to a vehicle to be simulated. By engaging a predetermined set of control devices and/or displays that correspond to a particular vehicle to be simulated with a predetermined set of ports, the vehicle simulator will be operable as a vehicle simulator for the particular simulated vehicle.
