325th Training Support Squadron commander lieutenant colonel Matthew Zamiska said: "The final installation of the Boeing Constant Resolution Visual System improves the realism of ground-based training and increases mission readiness for pilots.
"This is paramount for Tyndall’s mission of training and projecting unrivalled combat airpower."
The CRVS is designed to train pilots in a more realistic visual environment than current simulators.

Boeing display team manager Scott Whitaker said: "Boeing’s CRVS is unique in that, unlike any other visual system, it provides the warfighter with constant target visibility throughout the entire field of vision.
"The CRVS is a great benefit to the customer top-down, because it provides highly effective training at a low cost."
First delivered in 2010, CRVS is equipped with a variety of other aircraft simulators, including the F-15 Eagle, AH-64 Apache, M-346 Master, BAE Hawk and F-16 Fighting Falcon.
In another development, the USAF selected Boeing as the prime contractor for its Eagle passive active warning survivability system (EPAWSS).
Valued at $4bn, the EPAWSS programme is aimed to upgrade existing F-15 aircraft.
The new threat detection system is expected to replace the tactical electronic warfare system (TEWS) on more than 400 F-15Es and F-15Cs.
