Not simulators that actually simulate reality.


I've been in multi million dollar six degree of freedom simulators, but
I've never been in one that comes close to simulating reality.

They can only translate about a dozen feet from end to end - the resulting
motion is just not right. Plus they can't come close to simulating the
things that really mess up your inner ears during sustained turns.

Ever heard of anyone suffering GLOC in a 6dof simultor?
