Displays for these are either Monoview (M), Duoview (D) or Flatsereen (P). CCTV Mk 5 and VAMP were built by Link-Miles. The British Airways VC10 has; an analogrue computer-generated image (ACGI) visual. Other visuals are digital CGIs, for which number of display windows is given in the "display" column. CGI visuals manufacturers are CAE(RMV), General Elec tric (Compuscene 1000 and 4000), Link-Miles (NVS-night visual system, DNVS—day/night visual system and DUG-^dlgltal image generator), McDonnell Douglas (Vital), and Redifon (Nbvoview 2000, 2500, 6000, SP1 and SP2, and Daynite CT-4). Note (a) The KIM DO-10 simulator is to be delivered to Philippine Airlines later in 1981. (b) There are several orders for fixed-base trainers which equal modern simulators in authenticity, but which have neither visuals nor motion. These include three Redifon Boeing 757s and 767s for Boeing, a Singer-Link 767 for Delta, and CIAE 757s for British Airways and Eastern. The Redifon and Singer-Link, units will use SEL 32/77 computers, the CAE examples VAX11/ 7B0s.
