Valve-controlled electro-hydraulic actuators in a Stewart platform configuration have become established as a good way of meeting the performance required for flight simulator motion systems. However, valve-controlled actuators are very inefficient, and thus an electrohydrostatic motion system, controlled using servomotor driven pumps, has been developed by Thales, and is now in production. This paper presents a simulation study of a multi-axis controller which can improve the dynamic response of the new motion system. A modal control approach is used — i.e. the modes of vibration of the system are controlled individually. These modes are dependent on the inertial properties of the platform and the compliance of the actuators. The modes change as the motion system moves throughout its workspace, and so the controller has to adapt to the current operating point. Simulation results are presented based on a partially validated model of the motion system.

Abstract An advanced design process applicable to the specification of flight simulator cueing systems is presented in this paper. This process is based on the analysis of the pilot-vehicle control loop by using a pilot model incorporating both visual and vestibular feedback, and the aircraft dynamics. After substituting the model for the simulated aircraft, the analysis tools are used to adjust the washout filter parameters with the goal of restoring pilot control behaviour. This process allows the specification of the motion cueing algorithm. Then, based on flight files representative of the operational flight envelope, the required motion system space is determined. The motion-base geometry is established based on practical limitations, as well as criteria for the stability of the platform with respect to singular conditions. With this process the characteristics of the aircraft, the tasks to be simulated, and the missions themselves are taken into account in defining the simulator motion cueing system.

Based on the motion system and visual system design of flight simulator, the software and hardware design in motion system and visual system of flight simulator is regared as key problem. The fidelity automatic test system is discussed. The aim is to explore a complex system integration method. The fidelity automatic test system is used to detect the fidelity of motion system and visual system. The results show that the design of motion and visual system is reasonable and the performance can meet demand of fidelity.

Vehicle driving simulators are widely employed in training and entertainment utilities because of its safe, economic and efficient. Amphibious vehicle driving simulator was used to simulate amphibious vehicle on land and in water. Because of the motion difference between aircraft and amphibious vehicle, it is necessary to design a reasonable 6-DOF motion system according to the flight simulator motion system standard and vehicle motion parameter. FFT of DSP and PSD were used to analysis the relationship between them. Finally according to the result analysis, a set of reasonable 6-DOF motion system motion parameter was given to realize the driving simulator motion cueing used to reproduce vehicle acceleration.
