Abstract
A vehicle simulator is provided with a control device for actuation by an operator which device's input is digitized and fed to a vehicle model. The model (14) maintains an objective position and direction for the simulated vehicle which are fed to a lag means. The lag means operates to delay the rate of change of objective direction of the simulated vehicle to provide a subjective direction to a display generator. The display generator provides a subjective view based on the objective position and subjective direction of the simulated vehicle on a display.
Claims16
A vehicle simulation arrangement comprising display means for displaying a view from a simulated vehicle to an operator, and at least one control device for actuation by an operator, and means responsive to the at least one control device for maintaining an objective direction of the simulated vehicle, characterized in that lag means are provided for delaying the objective direction of the simulated vehicle before it is applied to the means for displaying a view from the simulated vehicle.
