Not a motion simulator. Bummer.

Nope, that would be impractical for an organisation like ours, too big
and too much maintenance. It is a professional setup though running professional software on two powerful computers (I9 CPU 32 gig RAM), the cockpit is a complete representation of the real thing, and the 220
degree screen is quite immersive. A Bonza 737 pilot had a flight in it
and declared it a good representation of the real thing. I was standing behind it when the pilot put it into a relatively steep bank, I had to
hold on to something to avoid falling over.

Sorry, I didn't realise you were involved, or I'd have expressed myself
a bit more diplomatically, or indeed just kept my thoughts to myself.

That's not a problem, as I said, full motion simulators are the province
of professional organisations, they are complex and expensive to
maintain, we could not make such a thing financially viable. Also the
target demographic is the general public, and that is not a target
audience for a full motion simulator, they break too easily in unskilled hands.

I'd rather assumed that a full motion simulator could take whatever was thrown at it, at least as far as the motion specific part was concerned.
I can see that they'd be expensive to maintain though.

Does it have MCAS so I too can crash it?
"Flying Blind" (ISBN 9780593082515) mentioned that most of the
{obviously warned ahead of time} Boeing pilots still crashed the
simulator.
