Virtual Reality Warbird

Posted by Craig Rochester on Mon Jun 17, 2002 07:56:09 AM

Hi y'all,

I'm a fight sim enthusiast(eg. "Battle of Britain"). I'm building a simulator to "fly" in. My goal is to build a rig and link it to a PC sim. I want to simulate the sensations of flight. This is a little different than reproducing a cockpit. My focus is to simulate the sight, sound, and motion of flight and air combat.

I'm fishing for two things:

1. Information on WWII planes' stick and rudder design. Photos, drawings, and specs. would be of great help.

2. Information on the pilot's physical experience in flight. For example, high G-Force maneuvers, stick/rudder forces... the important physical experiences that effect flight performance.

I have a webpage to detail my work: http://pages.zdnet.com/johncraigrochester

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,
