Thanks for that, I guess when flying manually especially in cloud your senses will always overrule your brain if not careful!!!Just static, but really gives the impression of movement, very strange!
Shame you didn't get to fly it Nigel! Out of interest, was the view out of the cockpit simulated or was it all on instruments? I remember having a go on a BAC One-Eleven sim at an airshow at Fairford in the the early 90s and although it seemed very authentic there was nothing displayed outside the cockpit windows.Nigel H-J wrote: ↑27 Sep 2021, 13:26Thanks for that, I guess when flying manually especially in cloud your senses will always overrule your brain if not careful!!!Just static, but really gives the impression of movement, very strange!
Back in the seventies I took a Vulcan captain and co-pilot to Finningley where there was the Vulcan simulator and I asked if I could come inside for the flight. I sat beside the instructor who put them through their paces and like yours' it was not a motion simulator but it would vibrate when rolling on the ground but only where the pilots were!! Did not get the chance to fly it though!

I guess that after a few months that saying feeling will disappear once you get used to it!!Shame you didn't get to fly it Nigel!

I've found that after a long day with several intense simulator sessions, when I get home it feels like I've been at sea all day and I actually find myself swaying slightly when I stand still!
