Thank you to all of you that replied! I'm coming to the end of this project now and having looked at various resources I would say that whilst a forklift simulator may seem like a good idea, the practical considerations and lack of interest will probably mean that AIMS won't be pursuing this. Having said that, I have one final lead to follow. I have been told that 90% of the large forklift trucks (the types that AIMS were considering) are sold into either the port sector or steel industry. Since AIMS are already selling their simulators to ports I think that the steel industry might be good way to go. I wondered if any of you had any thoughts on this. By the way Dan M, I sent you an email to the address that you gave me but perhaps you haven't received it, I am still wondering about the forklift simulator that you have been testing because I would really like to know who makes it! could you please let me know as soon as you can since I am running out of time on this project and that info would be really useful.
