Download or read book Characteristics of Flight Simulator Visual Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out-of-the-window visual simulation is a formidable challenge because of the fantastic performance capabilities of the human eye, the impracticability of producing a simulation system matching this performance and the inadequate understanding of how a human uses the visual information in a simulator. There is a continuing task to define the design characteristics that may affect perception of physiological responses, to establish the relative importance of the corresponding visual and physiological effects, and to understand their relationships with the physical continuums of the displays that can now be generated. This report addresses only a very small part of the total problem, by identifying and defining those physical parameters that characterise the simulator visual system and determine its fidelity. These characteristics are discussed in terms of the three basic categories of spatial, energy and temporal properties, and for each of the parameters there is a description of its effect, a definition of its appropriate units or descriptors, a discussion of methods of measurement and of its use or importance to image quality. There is also a presentation of the experience of the Working Group members regarding the importance of these parameters in accomplishing a given visual task under given conditions. The final chapters of this report present projections of future trends and recommendations for research. (Author).

Download or read book Flight Simulation written by Alfred T. Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in computer, visual display, motion and force cueing and other technologies in the past two decades have had a dramatic effect on the design and use of simulation technology in aviation and other fields. The effective use of technology in training, safety investigation, engineering and scientific research requires an understanding of its capabilities and limitations. As the technology has as its primary goal the creation of virtual environments for human users, knowledge of human sensory, perceptual, and cognitive functioning is also needed. This book provides a review and analysis of the relevant engineering and science supporting the design and use of advanced flight simulation technologies. It includes chapters reviewing key simulation areas such as visual scene, motion, and sound simulation and a chapter analyzing the role of recreating the pilot's task environment in the overall effectiveness of simulators. The design and use of flight simulation are addressed in chapters on the effectiveness of flight simulators in training and on the role of physical and psychological fidelity in simulator design. The problems inherent in the ground-based simulation of flight are also reviewed as are promising developments in flight simulation technology and the important role flight simulators play in advanced aviation research. The readership includes: flight simulation engineers and designers, human factors researchers and practitioners, aviation safety investigators, flight training management and instructors, training and instructional technologists, virtual environment design community, and regulatory authorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the complexity and capability of flight simulators have matched the growth of aerospace technology, there has until now been no textbook dealing specifically with the design and construction of flight simulators. This is a primary purpose of Flight Simulation. Written in collaboration with a number of internationally known specialists, the book considers the subject in three sections. Firstly it introduces the concept of simulation in order to identify the essential elements which make up the modern flight simulator. The development of these elements is also traced through the historical evolution of flight simulation. The main section of the book commences with an exposition of the mathematical models into dynamic physical devices capable of representing the response of a specific aircraft and its systems. The simulation of the flight environment is also covered in relation to cockpit motion systems and methods of representing the external visual scene. Another important aspect of simulation, the design of instructor and operating stations, is given separate attention. The final section considers the application of flight simulation to research and training and concludes with an appraisal of future prospects and developments.
