This survey focusses to get insight to the current state-of-the-art of driving simulation and simulators. Motorcycle, bicycle and train simulators are not considered. The driving simulator has a broad range of applications: in the purpose of the simulation as well as the used type of simulator. One can find driving simulators at driving schools, psychological research centres, amusement parks, car manufacturers etc. This survey will make a subdivision in fidelity. First attention is paid to motion simulation in general and everything that contributes to it. What is motion simulation? How does motion cueing work? Only motion based driving simulators are considered in this survey. Motion simulators without actu- ated motion are referred to as mid-level simulators [2] and consist of a car in front of a fixed screen. Terminology and acronyms used throughout this report can be found in the Nomenclature at page iii. 1.2 History Motion simulation started with flight simulation in the beginning of the 20th century. Flight training school “Antoinette” developed the first flight simulator [3]. In 1948 Gough developed a parallel manip- ulator for the purpose of testing tires. It was not until 1962 when D. Stewart reintroduced the parallel 6DOF (degree of freedom) system consisting of two platforms and 6 actuators [4]. The so called Stew- art platform was very well received in the world of motion simulation. It is a relatively compact design, comprising 6DOF-actuation and allowing relatively large payloads [5]. The first driving simulator designs consisted of few actuated DOF’s. 3DOF Designs were built bij Volkswagen (early 1970s) and the Swedish Road and Traffic Research Institute VTI, who were inspired by the Volkswagen design [6]. Mazda [7] has build a 4DOF actuated simulator in 1985, inspired by Volkswagen. That same year, the first 6DOF actuated simulator comes from Daimler-Benz [8]. Throughout the 90s, several 6DOF actuated were built (FORD [9], JARI, BMW, Renault, WIVW, Nissan [10]). At the North American Driving Simulation Conference(DSC) in 2003, the University of Iowa amazed the world of motion simulation with their National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS-1) [11].

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. PC-Based Aviation Training Devices for Pilot Training in Visual Flight Rules Procedures; Development, Validation and Effectiveness A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Aviation at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Savern Reweti 2014 Abstract Flying is a difficult and complex activity that requires a significant level of attention from the pilot as well as a lengthy training period to gain sufficient competency. For issues of both cost and safety, flight simulation has been an integral part of flight training from its earliest beginnings. There have been a number of technological developments and improvements in both the level of fidelity and the training effectiveness of flight simulators. As a result, flight simulators in use today are the result of this technological, psychological, and engineering evolution. Indeed, simulator cockpits can now accurately replicate all of the functions of flight controls and instrumentation found in real aircraft. Furthermore, the development of high- resolution display systems utilising computer-generated imagery (CGI), means that flight simulators can now display very realistic terrain and environmental effects. The high cost of modern full motion flight simulators (FFSs) has meant that their use has generally been restricted to commercial airlines, military forces, and government agencies. More recently, rapid advances and decreasing costs in PC-based computer technology has enabled flight-training organisations to conduct more training with less expensive fixed-base flight training devices (FTDs).

    Euro Truck Simulator 2 Reverse Engineered Requirements Document Omar Asadi Aftab Hussain University of California, Irvine 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Overview 3 Stakeholders 3 Marketing and Investment Stakeholders 4 Game Construction Stakeholders 4 Case Study 5 Models 6 Goal Models 8 System Vision 10 Non-Functional Requirements 11 Description of Techniques Used 11 i* Framework 11 Rich Picture Method 12 Description of Tool Used 12 Conclusion 13 References 3 1. Overview In this work we reverse-engineer the elaborate requirements of the game, Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2), available at [1]. ETS2 was released by SCS Software, on October 2012. The fundamental gameplay constitutes of driving trucks around depicted European cities for delivering cargo at various locations. It keeps a track record of the player’s completed tasks and offers career progression for the player in terms of income. The game has been widely popular1, with high rates of downloads and is available for purchase at the multi-player online gaming platform, Steam2. Reverse engineering the requirements document of a given system is a challenging task particularly for large legacy systems which are deployed in a distributed manner. The main difficulty this task poses is in capturing the complexities of all components of the system in a coherent and non-conflicting fashion. A way to address this difficulty is to build the requirements models of the system in an incremental way [3], an approach we tried to follow while doing the same for ETS2. We now present the organization of our report, which also reflects the work flow of this reverse engineering project: In Section 2, we present a description of all the relevant stakeholders of the game.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research is designed to gather data from two different sources, survey and cognitive neuroscience tools and to integrate obtained information. Findings: The obtained results, focusing mostly on recall and interest of experiment’s participants allow to state that using computer games for the purpose of social campaigns is very promising. Moreover, evaluating the efficacy of the messages and the medium itself using two very distinct methods, considering both conscious and subconscious opinions of examined subjects offers an additional quality to this type of research. Practical Implications: The proposed solution of testing the effectiveness of computer games in social campaigns can be used both by pracitioners that develop such campaigns and by scientists aiming to conduct advertising reserch. Originality/Value: Taking into account data from two different sources allows to capture both conscious and subconscious opinions about the social advertsising in the game, which shows the comprehensive image of the advertising’s effectiveness. Keywords: Social campaign, computer game, effectiveness, cognitive neuroscience.

This survey is freely distributed for the common good of the flightsim community to guide future projects and attract new pilots. This flightsim community survey is the largest and most comprehensive of its kind. This year 17,800 respondents participated in the survey. This is an 18.6% increase from last year when 15,000 participated. This year’s survey consisted of 93 questions, compared to last year’s 77 questions. However, this year many more of the questions were conditional, allowing us to add new sections and ask in-depth questions only to those respondents for whom it was relevant. New sections this year contained questions specifically aimed at pilots using flight simulator software on mobile devices and helicopter flight simulators. We also added questions on combat simulators, air traffic control and flight planning. Finally, because of the upcoming release of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, we added questions on this topic as well. Our main objective this year was to recruit more and diverse partners to broaden the reach of the survey to get an even more representative sample of the community.

  • Flight Simulator Development with Safety System Implementation
    FLIGHT SIMULATOR DEVELOPMENT WITH SAFETY SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION Berta Martínez Utrilla Bachelor’s thesis May 2017 Air Navigation Engineering ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu, Tampere University of Applied Sciences Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Polytechnic University of Catalonia Degree Programme in Air Navigation Engineering MARTÍNEZ UTRILLA, BERTA: Flight Simulator Development with Safety System Implementation Bachelor's thesis 43 pages, appendices 7 pages May 2017 In the constantly evolving aeronautical field, flight simulators are becoming increasingly common tools. Their use is being extended in both amateur and professional sectors since they provide life-like experiences effective in flight crew training from the comfort of a controlled enclosure, bringing economical benefits as well as reducing the impact on the environment. One of the most worrisome aspects regarding to these devices is safety, since the direct contact with individuals is constant. For this reason, the aim of the project has been the performance of a safety analysis on flight simulation devices to its future implementation in the simulator of Tampere University of Applied Sciences. In the first part of the study the basic concepts introducing the field of flight simulators have been presented, to be followed at later stage by a detailed analysis in the specific situation of the developing simulator of the university. Finally a deepening in the safety field has been performed, both in operational and general safety of the enclosure. On the whole, the project not only provides background information on the topic and analyses closely the simulator of the university but also deepens in the safety system, allowing the implementation of the obtained results in future similar devices.
