I do not know how far John Dunkley has progressed recently http://users.senet.com.au/~dunkleyj/
I had considered plagarising his set up, but using a cockpit from a wrecked two seater with white contact on the canopy to block the view immediately upwards (ie restrict the view to the outside screens.)Use three large concave screens attached to the motion platform to give 180 degree view around the nose But Emilis is correct, a full on motion sim as above will probably use several PCs to drive graphics / platform motion / flight simulation, plus the cost of the hydraulic set up. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Emilis Prelgauskas Sent: Thursday, 31 March 2005 12:53 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.
