Description

Short technical description: The simulator is composed by a driving stand, a driving computer with integrated image generator, three 32" monitors, a vibration system and a simple motion system. Each of the two peripheral monitors has an own PC as image generator. The visual system is a fixed screen system, that means, also at a motion of the driving stand by the below described motion support, the picture screens do not move. There is a vibration of the steering wheel, correlated to the vehicle engine RPM. A long-life excenter motor is connected to the shaft of the steering wheel. The shaft is buffered to the main frame of the simulator by rubber-cylinders. The mounting of the vibration motor to the steering wheel compared to a vibration of the whole simulator has the advantages, that the excenter motor needs less power. The button plate of the simulator does not vibrate, so that the driving computer may be integrated in the simulator cabin. The motion system consists of two motion units, one for tilting movement and one for roll movements. Construction date: 1998 Last upgrade: 2003
