Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about the VF2000 simulator, answered. Note that the unit is no longer for sale — see the legacy banner above for the DIY build guide.
What is the VF2000?
The VF2000 is the second generation of flight and entertainment simulators produced by NoonCo. These simulators feature a stunning 185 degrees of motion and reproduce flight forces with radical movement that has to be seen to be believed.

Who used the VF2000?
Initially designed for the entertainment and gaming community, the remarkable feeling of flight generated by these simulators attracted a much wider audience. Units were used by military, motion picture studios, theme parks, trade shows, and air shows. If you want to captivate a crowd, it's hard to beat letting them fly their own simulated jet fighter!
Is the VF2000 still available?
No — the VF2000 is no longer commercially available for purchase, rent, or lease. However, Walt Noon published a complete DIY build guide in Nuts & Volts magazine (April 2014) for hobbyists who want to build their own motion-base simulator.

What software did the VF2000 support?
The VF2000 supported all Microsoft Combat and flight simulation packages, X-Plane with custom satellite-mapped terrain, Falcon 4.0, and other gaming simulations. Custom flight profiles were also available.
What were the pilot requirements?
Pilot height between 4' and 7', maximum pilot weight 250 lbs. Operational height clearance of 7' required.
How does the closed-loop system work?
The VF2000 is a true "closed-loop" system — platform and screen position are kept in perfect synchronization, with over 20 platform corrections per second, ensuring smooth and accurate motion at all times.
