A few more interesting tidbits: The CT5 was primarily intended for military simulation applications -- although one was sold to Daimler Benz as a car simulator. The Novoview (SP1, SP2, SP3, SP3T, ESIG2000, etc) simulators from E&S, which were done by a separate engineering group (sitting right...

And, for the record, the CT5 was anything but a "simulation on rails". You could "fly" the eyepoint around to any spot in the simulation database. For those of us engineers working on the system, the software guys had written a fly application that we used to move the eyepoint around. It was...

This is not correct. The E&S CT5 was truly a real time 3D graphics system. It did not, in anyway, simply playback pre-rendered scenes and it was not dependent at all on the E&S Picture System -- other than we used Picture Systems to do our schematic capture of the boards using an in-house...
