Quick answer: The Small Footprint Simulator (SFS) is a fully assembled, single-seat simulation pod from USA Entertainment Ventures that rolls through standard doors, runs on a single 110V outlet and is typically ready to train in about 15 minutes. It supports flight, driving, esports and professional training, starting at $40,000.
What is the Small Footprint Simulator?
The SFS is a compact training and esports pod designed for the buildings people actually use: classrooms, armories, hospitals, airports and offices. We started USA Entertainment Ventures in 2017 with one question. Why does serious simulation require a dedicated room, a construction budget and a forklift? Today we are launching the answer.
The pod measures 80 inches long, 32.6 inches wide and 56 inches high, and weighs 445 pounds. It rolls through standard doors and onto service elevators on wheels.

Who is the Small Footprint Simulator for?
The SFS supports more than 100 control options, including HOTAS, yokes, rudders, force-feedback wheels, pedals, shifters, and heavy-equipment and agricultural controls, with optional VR. That flexibility serves a wide range of programs:
Military users include ROTC, flight training, ground forces and the National Guard. Schools can run high school, community college and collegiate esports alongside driver education and technical programs. Flight schools, EVOC programs for police, fire and EMS, CDL trucking schools and hospitals running occupational therapy can all train on the same platform.
Why does a small footprint matter?
Most training budgets are not limited by interest. They are limited by space, installation cost and time. A simulator that needs a renovated room may never get approved. A simulator that rolls in, plugs in and starts training in minutes removes those barriers. Pods are manufactured and palletized in Alabama and ship from the Port of Mobile by sea, air, rail or truck.
Every pod can also be customized. Programs choose their controls, decide whether to add VR and approve a free wrap design that carries their brand. Our team works with each buyer to match the configuration to the mission before the pod ships.
