“…The Visual Technology Research Simulator (VTRS), described elsewhere by Collyer and Chambers (1978). has a fully instrumented T-2C Navy jet trainer cockpit, T-2C flight dynamics, a six degree-of-freedom synergistic motion platform, a 32-element g-seat, a wide-angle visual system that can project computer-generated color images, and an instructor/ operator control station.…”

“…The Visual Technology Research Simulator (VTRS) consists of a fully instrumented T-2C Navy jet trainer cockpit, a six degree-of-freedom synergistic motion platform, a 32-element G-seat, a wide angle visual system that can project both computer generated and model board images, and an Experimenter/Operator Control Station (Collyer and Chambers, 1978). The motion system, G-seat and model board were not used in this experiment.…”

Landing performance of experienced naval aviators was tested in a simulator with a conventional Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS) and also with a modified FLOLS that provided descent-rate error information. The FLOLS, used for guidance during carrier approaches, normally provides only glides lope displacement information. Aircraft dynamics can create substantial lags between an incorrect control input and the resulting FLOLS error indication. Addition of descent-rate error to the FLOLS was intended to compensate for that lag. Two algorithms were tested with the rate displays, and both improved glides lope tracking throughout the approach. Lineup was not adversely affected. Differences between the two experimental displays favored one driven by an algorithm based on the weighted sum of glideslope displacement and descent-rate error versus one driven by an algorithm based on descent-rate error only.

“…On the one hand, the VThS serves as a test bed for developing and evaluating new engineering concepts aimed at providing increased visual system performance at lower costs. At the same time, it is a research tool for examining how pilot performance and transfer of training are influenced by a wide range of factors of critical interest to simulation engineers and training specialists (Collyer and Chambers, 1978).…”

A multifactor, multicriterion transfer of training experiment involving a computer-generated horizontal tracking task was conducted to establish relationships among training and transfer scores for manual control of a maneuvering vehicle, to determine the response surfaces for training and transfer, and to demonstrate a new transfer research paradigm that makes economically feasible the simultaneous investigation of the effects of a large number of training-equipment and use variables on transfer to multiple-criterion vehicle configurations. There were 80 experimental participants, 48 of whom were trained and tested on individually unique combinations of training and transfer conditions. This study was the first to measure the training and transfer effects of as many as six training equipment and use factors in a single experiment, to examine as many as 25 training-vehicle configurations in the same experiment, to train a single individual on each of 48 training conditions, to employ multiple (3) transfer vehicle configurations, and to provide data suitable for deriving multiple-regression equations for estimating the transfer effectiveness of configurations not directly studied.
