Tom...you may already know this... The BGA has a simulator. It uses a projector onto a screen. The fuse and controls are from a wreck, the whole thing folds very cleverly into an trailer...the sides fold out when in use to restrict daylight for the screen and to provide space for promotional stuff. The software is simply the condor flight sim. The BGA is upgrading it after some experience 'on the road'. Lasham also have a dedicated room with a flight sim. in it (controls, etc). The BGGC is building one...but the project supervisor will not be there until Easter. I'm sure their experience(s) can be learned from.
