You've done it in the simulator so many times, you don't have a real sense of being excited when the flight is going on. You're excited before, but as soon as the liftoff occurs, you are busy doing what you have to do. - Alan Shepard

What we are not trying to do is build an FPGA supercomputer. What we are trying to do is build a simulator system. - Dave Patterson

We spent a lot of time in simulators. We were going to do it right. - Wally Schirra

Training is an important issue in this area, and I think the board would like to see training get more attention and see an increased use of simulators on these types of aircraft, similar to what we see with the scheduled air service and the larger aircraft that are operating in that service in the United States. - Jim Hall

Today, many circuit simulation users are required to invest significant portions of their budgets for 3D EM tools that aren't part of their design flow. At the same time, our installed base of customers is asking us to invest in a 3D EM simulator that is tightly integrated within their current circuit simulation design flow, which is exactly what we have decided to do. I believe that we can offer our customers powerful technology at a price that completely redefines this market. - Jim McGillivary

There's an entire flight simulator hidden in every copy of Microsoft Excel 97. - Bruce Scheneier

The Weapons Systems Trainer is part of a total training program that graduates mission-qualified C-130 aircrews. These simulators prepare aircrews for a variety of missions without actually flying the aircraft, reducing costs, and delivering a safe, effective training solution to our customers. - Lorraine Martin

The graphics are very good, better than a lot of simulators. The avionics is what the key is. They're real avionics. - Dave Kinney
