PRETTY COOL! your photo ^ shows what looks suspiciously like a rendition of the mouth of the Napa River entrance from the Carquinez Strait N. to Mare Island ...http://www.brooksmachinery.com/JSteel-Omax-Case-Study.aspx

It is cool! Looks like a big upgrade from the "Mark I" trainer

Wow. I've never seen a sub pit before! Awesome stuff. I always enjoy looking at folk's homebuilt sim pits especially aircraft but this is super cool.

Balladeer! After a half decade silent run!

Yeah I haven't been around on Subsim in too long. I've been around its just that it goes in cycles. I'm usually found on SimHQ as Coot. I've been missing the water so I'm back. Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks Balladeer. I also like flight sims and looking at home built simpits. They were kept in mind during this project.

The Navy’s submarine bridge trainer appears to have integrated binoculars.

I’m thinking of how to adapt tomoose’s idea of a small monitor inside the periscope and TrackIR to a small monitor inside a bridge mounted Target Bearing Transmitter / Binoculars with TrackIR?

Is the bridge trainer used for in port/near port handling? I assume that is the only time a nuclear sub is surfaced.
