This 1970s tank simulator drives through a tiny world

Tom Scott | March 11, 2025



At the Swiss Military Museum in Full, there’s the last remaining example of a 1970s tank-driving simulator. But there’s no virtual worlds here: it’s connected to a real camera and a real miniature model. ■ More about the museum: https://www.festungsmuseum.ch/

Camera: Tobias Buchmann
Producer: Sebastian Capeda at Viven https://viven.ch
Editor: http://www.davestevenson.co.uk/
Audio mix: Dan Pugsley https://cassinisound.com (my microphone failed inside the very noisy simulator, he did an incredible job!)
