When the new T-2 Buckeye 6-axis (?) simulators were first installed @ NAS CHASE ... they had an instructor in the seat for the first "simulated" catapult launch set up by the proud technicians.
The only problem was, the full range of motion for a cat shot was still "experimental" and wasn't properly set or not tweaked properly -- I don't know the technical specifics -- but I DO know the results ---
On the first "cat shot", the sim went all the way to the stops, hit the brick wall of the sim bay (knocking a hole in it) and knocked the instructor out.

Haha. Just when you thought you have heard of everything.
