False cue reduction in moving flight simulators

Abstract

When roll motion is simulated on a moving flight simulator, false cues are frequently perceived by the subject pilot that degrade the quality of the simulation. In order to reduce the false cues, an adaptive approach based on a real-time simulation of the subject's vestibular organs is suggested. This approach is compared both to a linear washout filter commonly used in moving base simulators and to a previous adaptive attempt to eliminate the false cues.
