Transport delay compensation for computer-generated imagery systems
TL;DR: A beam-splitter experiment is presented that accounts for the complete flight simulation environment and values determined by this experiment are appropriate for use in the compensation algorithm.
CGI Delay Compensation
TL;DR: A compensation algorithm is introduced here and evaluated in terms of tradeoffs in frequency responses, which accommodates both a large, constant transport delay interval and a periodic delay interval, as associated with asynchronous operations.
Trimming an aircraft model for flight simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a blade-element helicopter simulation model was used for the generation of trim points in real-time simulation models, which were then used for trim-point generation.
Anticipation of the landing shock phenomenon in flight simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the ground strike problem was solved by a described technique called anticipation equations, which is a useful tool in the general field of discrete flight simulation and has been used extensively.
Compensating For Computational Delay In Flight Simulation
TL;DR: Algorithm developed from transfer functions predicting lower-frequency components of response of aircraft short time into future introducing compensatory phase shifts, opposite those caused by delay, into signals driving computer-generated imagery.
