• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Full Motion Prospect

I sat in a similar machine at the Farnborough Air Show last year. Great fun. But for those who want a full-motion sim at home: I flew a full-motion F-16 simulator once and not the looping and spinning was the most spectacular and immersive, but the subtle cues of power changes and light turbulence during landing and in formation flight. That effect was only partially created by the motion platform, but much more by inflatable seat cushions, safety belts that were tightened or loosened according to the situation, and vibrators. In short, equipment that we may have in rudimentary form one day at home.
 
That would be cool if some day we could adapt that machine into the simulator. Just one issue, I'm gonna need a bigger house!

It's all fun and games until Cyberdyne turns on you, LOL, looks fun! :ernae:
 
I am lucky enough to have "flown" several full motion simulators at Delta Air Lines. Then coming back to the PC was a big disapointment after that experience. :icon_lol:
