I don't know of any that were that slow. Even the Conductron-Missouri 737-200 simulator I used to work on had better response times (overall) than that. It was built in 1967. I do know that for the purposes of recertification it was grandfathered in on some of the FAA cert. requirements. It was only a three axis sim (roll, pitch and heave) and used a Vital II visual system (roughly 320x200 - the moon had corners :) )
