Sim Park
Summary
The idea is to create a sim park where people can go and learn/train on various types of simulators. A simulator will consist of real world training scenario. These scenarios can be flight sims, tank sims, or something like a computer terminal operator. The possibilities are endless.
The target platform is to have the game be an mmo with it open to everyone in the world or have it locked down and open to certain groups. This can also be somewhere in-between. The nature of the physics involved for the various sims would require the game to be home grown.
The initial area will consist of a main showcase area where the user can browse the various simulators. Once the user has chosen a sim there will be a load screen that creates a completely custom environment for the chosen sim. The user will then be immersed into the sim with the potential to have training admins there to help.
Our first customer should be the army. The reason is that we currently have a working relationship with the army and the army has expressed desire for a system similar to this. For pricing on the non proprietary content, the ideal method would be to charge a rate for each training sim the user wanted to use. The problem is that would generate a very low user traffic. The other option is to allow free access and have advertising supplement the costs. Advertisers would be Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, Boeing, and others. Of course the happy medium is somewhere in between.
