A simulator system in which a visual display assembly is arranged to present an image to be viewed on a display surface and a viewing station is positioned in front of the display surface such that a person looking from a predetermined eyepoint defined within the viewing station can see the display surface through a viewing window defined by the viewing station. The viewing station is displaceable relative to the visual display assembly between first and second positions to adjust the position of the display surface relative to the viewing window when viewed from the eyepoint. During displacement of the viewing station between the two positions, the viewing station is rotated about the eyepoint. The actuator is arranged such that the rate of rotation of the viewing station increases with distance from the first and second positions to a maximum when the viewing station is in an intermediate position.
A simulator system comprising a visual display assembly arranged to present an image to be viewed on a display surface and a viewing station positioned in front of the display surface such that a person looking from a predetermined eye point defined within the viewing station can see the display surface through a viewing window defined by the viewing station, wherein the visual display assembly is mounted in a fixed position on a support frame, and the viewing station is pivotally mounted on the support frame and is connected to an actuator arranged to displace the viewing station relative to the support frame between predetermined first and second positions, and wherein displacement of the viewing station between the first and second positions causes the viewing station to rotate about the eye point, and the actuator being arranged such that the rate of rotation of the viewing station increases until reaching a maximum rate of rotation when the viewing station is in a third position intermediate the first and second positions.
