Some tests with direct drive to check the platform response, see Motion Test Video
Finally got the whole signal chain installed! For first results see
Test Flight (two flights in the
Extra, the first in calm weather, the second with turbulence at "heavy". (I
normally make better landings, but the bumps are fantastic)
On the right side you also see the monitor with flightsim data (via Portdrv)
and the two DAC outputs on the scope (top waveform: roll and bottom one:
pitch)
A flight video of the Roll and washout motion cue can be seen here.
A flight video of the Random vibrations cue can be seen here.
A flight video of the take-off effects motion cue can be seen here. The vibration is a little hard to see, but clearly felt.
A flight video of the Landing effects motion cue can be seen here. The video shows a lousy landing with right-wheel first, bounce and then left-wheel first.
