Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reproducing a recorded flight mission of an aircraft, in particular a helicopter, from an observer position by means of a flight simulation system. Flight data, which are recorded by a storage medium of a simulation computer and whose purpose is reproduction, can be retrieved by the flight simulation system. Furthermore, there is a device for carrying out the method. The object of the invention is to further improve, during reproduction of a recorded flight mission, the intuitive detectability of a deviation from a desired target flight path from an observer position by means of a flight simulation system for an aircraft. The problem is solved in that the simulation computer is equipped with a program for calculating at least one virtual observer position, where the program, with its effect on a program of a display computer, can control the display computer's help program for displaying a flight tunnel and the display computer's help program for displaying a three-dimensional image of the aircraft so that by means of the flight simulation system, a virtual observer position with a view of the aircraft during the flight mission can be displayed.

Abstract: A reliable, cost effective motion simulator system wherein a motion platform controlled by three inexpensive fractional horsepower induction AC motors to provide n-axis of motion where n is two, three, four, five or six. A dynamic boost is applied to maintain the position of the motion platform at low speed or zero speed and to handle transient motion demands without use of an encoder. The personal simulator motion base includes a support structure for positioning a rider coupled to the motion platform. A support pedestal and a plurality of linkages support the motion platform. A plurality of motor assemblies 114 is coupled to the motion plate by the linkages. A control algorithm enables the use of low cost power electronics to drive the AC motor-linkage assemblies. The personal simulator may be controlled in response to user-initiated commands, remote-user initiated commands or by commands embedded in game software or the audio track of a video stream.

Abstract: A race simulation system is provided for remotely simulating a race between a plurality of participants. The simulation system includes a tracker for tracking the position of the participants as they move during the race and for generating corresponding positional data. This positional data is then transmitted through a communications channel to one or more remote users. Each remote user has a terminal which is operable to recreate a simulation of the race using the received positional data and stored layout data which defines the layout of the course over which the participants move.
