The military has the big simulator here, it's about 2.5 stories tall and needs a small hanger of its own! It uses a seamless wraparound cyc to project the images beyond the windshields.
They also use mini-sims, and lots of multi-monitor workstations for individual practice, using the MS software.
Gamers heaven, if you're into that sort of thing.
