F-18 Motion Flight Simulator
(Based on Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 &
FlightDeck III)
Here is the F-18 motion simulator. The HUD is displayed in the forward
view on the big screen, while the cockpit gauges are on a separate monitor
in the cockpit, which also has functional landing gear, tail hook, flaps, and
HOTAS.
Here is a shot of the F18 motion platform mechanics, or "business
end". Three
large electric motors and computer controlled actuators are powered by 220v
generator. The motion platform can bank the pilot 30 degrees in any
direction
and at very high speeds!
