ABSTRACT:
The control loading system described is capable of higher performance than anything available heretofor because of certain described features built in. The control loading system that is described includes a force transducer to develop an electrical signal corresponding to the force applied to the manually-operable controls of a vehicle simulator to develop a "feel" as sensed by an operator that matches the real world response of actual controls. A computer generates an electrical signal corresponding to the force required for these controls to give these realistic cues. A compare circuit generates a signal corresponding to the difference between the applied force and the required force, and the usual actuator device develops a force on the manually-operable vehicle controls in response to this difference signal. One of the more significant features of the invention is the monitor which detects deviations in force magnitude to disable the control loading system when the force detected exceeds a pre-set limit.
