Virtual Reality: More Than Just a Visual Experience Virtual Reality (VR) has been around longer than many realize. Back in the early 1990s, we worked on one of our first VR projects—a gimbal-mounted seat paired with a bulky helmet containing dual screens. It didn’t track head movement, but the gimbal followed the visuals, and the…
What Are Feedback Control Loaders—and Why Are They Critical in Flight Simulation? Let’s start with the basics: What is a feedback control loader? No, it’s not a piece of heavy farm equipment. In the world of simulation, a control loader is a system that provides realistic flight control forces to a pilot in a simulator.…
When should a simulator require refurbishment and when should it need to be replaced? That is a problem that every training company has to think about when it comes to aging simulators. With more and more pilots needing training and proper training at that, our aging simulators need some help. If the systems were upgraded…
This white paper was originally written by Mr. Bruce Baker. I have taken the liberty of republishing my father’s works for all to learn from. Enjoy – Rachel Over the last several years, there has been much discussion about the need for motion base platforms for aircraft simulators. Several times, an attempt has been made to…
