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,
