Yeah, right, that's why they spend millions on a six axis motion

The motion system adds credibility and realism for an airliner. The
idea is not to teach pilots about the sensations, but to provide
sensations that make the rest of the simulation realistic enough to
confuse with real life.



But oyu said that the big sims are just the same.

This is quite different from using a motion base to teach pilots how
to fly by the seat of their pants (which they must not do in an
airliner).


Yes, we do.
