Abstract
A multi-configuration simulator screen system and methods of use are described. Embodiments of the present invention include a multi-configuration screen assembly and a simulator system for running training scenarios on the multi-configuration screen assembly. The multi-configuration screen assembly can include a pair of screens rotatably coupled to a middle screen. The pair of screens can be rotated relative to the middle screen allowing for the simulator system to be implemented with a plurality of differently configured screens.

- and
- at least one screen coupled to the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame;
- a simulator system including a computing device operatively connected to the first projector, the second projector, and the third projector, the computing device configured to run one or more scenarios on the at least one screen via the first projector, the second projector, and the third projector;
- configuring the multi-configuration screen assembly into a first configuration;
- and
- displaying a first training scenario on the multi-configuration screen assembly in the first configuration.
