Meet Ford 4AT Trimotor
The Trimotor combined a high wing and fixed landing gear with three engines: one in the nose and one beneath each wing. Ford's involvement brought a famous industrial name to a growing air-transport market. The design served airlines, government operators and military customers.
Its cabin and cockpit show a stage between open-cockpit flying and later pressurised airliners. The simulator's optional modern navigation equipment is a separate installation, useful to identify rather than quietly folding it into the history of the original aircraft.

Period instruments with an optional modern navigation installation
The Ford Trimotor package offers modern navigation and autopilot equipment alongside its period instruments. Braking uses the documented lever arrangement rather than conventional toe brakes. Both details are useful when choosing a cockpit configuration or setting up simulator controls.
