on my channel I show videos of my 6DOF motion platform from Motionsystems (PS-6TM-150). I want to demonstrate how a professional motion platform can serve as the basis for a VR cockpit and how the simulated forces of flight simulators, such as DCS or Flight Simulator 2020, are transferred to the platform.
Yes - I also have a private pilote license (for Cessna, Piper etc.). But the platform in the basement is available faster than the aircraft at the airport 😅
Funny thing is this is the future of air combat. We will sit in safe spaces and fly combat aircraft. Before anyone says AI, that is a long way off, maybe a decade or more until we turn combat aircraft loose without human intervention. I know all about Loyal Wingman but those aircraft will still have human control when needed.
Of course I play in 1st person, anything else would not make sense. But you can record a flight, replay it and change the views in order to give the viewers a better feeling what´s going on in flight...😅
I didn't quite understand that. Do you mean that the platform has to roll to the side in turns? That is fundamentally wrong, as there are no lateral forces in turns. Otherwise you would no longer be able to drink coffee in the Airliner...
The front/back rotation looks correct, but heave looks like it's setup opposite. Have you tried switching it? During takeoff, the seat should push into your back, not pull away from it. During landing, the seat should pull away from your back, not push forward. Looks like a lot of fun, regardless.
Someone is looking very closely! However, I think you are mixing up the term Heave, which describes the vertical movement of the platform, with Surge, which describes the horizontal movement. The platform does it right with Surge, when accelerating strongly it moves forwards jerkily so that I am pressed briefly and strongly into the seat, the platform immediately compensates for this movement with a slow (imperceptible) movement backwards to return to the centre position. You can probably see the slow movement rather than the jerky snap forwards, which happens at the same time as the pitch movement. When landing, it's exactly the opposite - the platform has to jerk backwards to give me the feeling of being thrown out of the seat... Hope that helps you! PS: The same principles apply to Heave, which also works with vertical acceleration
@@madmontys6dofmotionplatfor386 Ah yes, I was mixing up my terms... and now that I'm watching even more closely, I see it now. What I was originally seeing is the return-to-center motion. Now that you explain this, I can see even better. Thanks! I appreciate the response and explanation.
Diving to the ground results in pitch forward (unless you do not accelerate with full throttle). Hitting ground results in my wife coming into the basement and asking if everything is ok 😅
Motionsystems can also offer this. My floor slab could cope with the weight, but I would have to remove the ceiling and the kitchen is above it. My wife's hobby room simply can't be sacrificed for this 🤣
I don't understand your question. I fly VR and see all the necessary flight information in the cockpit. The controls are mainly operated via throttle and stick (HOTAS), so I know by heart which buttons are where.
I don't even have the floor space for something like this. This would have to be in the garage to avoid crashing through the floor. Looks as heavy as a car.
Jealous yes but you cant simulate "G"?..FLEW GR4 in real life!!!..im retired now from civilian aircraft but i have to hand it to you all in the simulation world FUCK ME HAS COMPUTERS ADVANCED ITS LIKE IN A TRAINING MODULE YOU DONT FEEL THE "G"!!..i dont know perhaps take a deep breathe and hold it for minutes and you still wont be close as you have to breath out also but doing it static still isnt the same!!!?..but i love all you potential aviators as theres nothing else comes close to God!!!😉..but the professionalism is there!!!..you young guys out there sign up to the RAF???..what is stoping you even if not for pilot you can get boots throught the door i started my RAF career as a prscticing doctor!!..then trained as pilot!!!..aint anyrhing stopping you from aiming high!!!👍..or American equivalent F18!!!
