[Chester LUG] Days out in 2015

[Roger Gibson]

Good idea Stu.

A challenge for you, if you feel up to it, would be to get a visit to 
the Maritime BridgeSimulator next to Cammel Lairds in Birkenhead.

( http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/LairdsideMaritimeCentre/ )

They have a couple of full size ship's bridges, with every window a 
hi-def screen, and is used for training, from teams working under stress 
for days at a time in hazardous storm conditions, to master pilots 
working out how a yet unbuilt mega ship will handle under docking 
conditions.

I went several years ago (about 2-3 hour visit), and it was impressive.  
The IT then was based on a few PCs running Windows XP Pro, but they were 
reaching the limits of the scope.  It is a life-size mega game.  I 
understand they may now charge for visits, but you may be able to 
persuade them we are a bunch of IT whizz kids, who may be able to help them.

Anyway, why not give it a try - Roger.
