Microsoft's Flight Simulator X

"Flight Simulator X (FSX) has the tag line "as real as it gets"....so there was no other choice than to go with Motoart! From the FSX booth's initial design, through manufacturing, to final product, crated and boxed to be delivered in Oshkosh all within 28 days, amazing! The quality of the booth will speak for itself now and in the years to come as it will be used in events from Oshkosh, to the annual AOPA show, to the Paris Air show in 2007" --Brett Schnepf, Microsoft Community & Partner Development Manager

MotoArt and Microsoft teamed up to deliver a unique and compelling design exhibit space, to present ACES Flight Simulator X. Touted by aviation enthusiasts as THE "as real as it gets" flight simulation experience. Microsoft debuted their new Flight SimX exhibit at the EAA Air Show 2006 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Microsoft, after looking long and hard, engaged MotoArt to design a concept that is both functional and visually striking to envelope the user in the interactive game display. MotoArt brings together the past, present and future in the spirit of this design, while staying true to its passion and love of aviation to promote Flight SimX for Microsoft.

The exhibit was created utilizing four TBM Avenger Elevators each mounted on a set of four 737 Galley Bars to create the user space to play the game. Flat panel monitors are placed on the Avenger elevators and hard drives are housed in the adapted Galley Bars which support the brushed aluminum game surface for peripheral control support. The TBM Avenger Elevators are strategically arranged at the perimeter surrounding a 12' Air Traffic Control Tower which anchors the entire exhibit. The final product is a work of art from a design perspective, all powder-coated in silver and brushed aluminum accents in stark yet modern contrast with the Microsoft monitors and peripherals.
