CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION
1-1 Introduction to the FS-VC DUAL SYSTEM
Welcome!! And thank you on your purchase of the FS-VC DUAL SYSTEM Flight
Simulator. The FS-VC DUAL SYSTEM is the only full motion, interactive, networked experience
of its kind. This is a dual seat combat fighter based on a virtual reality environment with a full 360
degree, 2 axis motion platform. The experience time can be varied according to patron demand;
the standard time set is 5 minutes. The dual function is that you can also select roller coaster
software and experience the dynamics of riding some of the best coasters designed, all in one place.
1-2 Overview of the FS-VC DUAL SYSTEM
The FS-VC DUAL SYSTEM is a computer driven flight simulator that provides a realistic
aircraft combat and coaster environment. The customer can operate the flight simulator system as
an amateur to gain experience and then progress up to a professional fighter ace. This system allows
for the feel of actual flight without the strain of experiencing the damaging G-forces.
Or, just sit back and experience the excitement of riding a roller coaster.
1-3 Safety
Due to the nature of the FS-VC DUAL SYSTEM there are several safety precautions that
must be observed in order to ensure the safety of both the patrons and the operators during the
operation of this experience.
