ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for simulating acceleration forces on the head and helmet of a pilot of a vehicle simulator. A device for producing those forces (10) is positioned unobtrusively in the cockpit of the simulator. An apparatus (22, 80) is provided which inconspicuously interconnects the force-producing device and the pilot's helmet (14) after the pilot has seated himself in the vehicle simulator. After the helmet and force-producing device have been inter-connected, a drive sequence is implemented which drives the force-producing device to provide forces to the helmet of the pilot in a manner which simulates the experience of the actual acceleration forces of the vehicle being simulated.
