What a brilliant deduction. Thank you. I suppose next you will then postulate that the simulator has a more accurate flight dynamics model than the real airplane. The real airplane is not a model, so this statement has no meaning. Then tell me why it's self-evident that a table-driven flight dynamics model would always be better than a real-time differential equation-driven. Not always, but usually, especially cost-wise. The idea of a simulator is to simulate a real aircraft, not real flight. It's more important that the behavior of the sim match the real aircraft being simulated than it is for the sim to approximate real flight in all regimes. Full-motion ATP sims handle spins and other unusual attitudes poorly, but since they are not used to simulate those unusual attitudes, it doesn't matter, especially since they simulate normal flight with extraordinary accuracy. |
