My first job out of college was implementing the image generator for the simulator for the landing signal officer (LSO) on the USS Nimitz.
It ran on an 8 CPU SGI Onyx that was about the size of a refrigerator. The view was from the position of the LSO, at the aft end of the carrier deck. In the actual installation, the images were projected onto curved screens giving a 270 degree FOV. I do wish I could have seen the final product!
