Popis: This paper outlines the development of flight simulators used in civil training, military training and in engineering simulation. It describes the evolution of flight simulators and the typical architecture of a modern flight simulator. The technical innovations, which have occurred in modelling, motion systems and visual systems are reviewed. The paper also reviews the transfer of training in flight simulation, the application of simulation to engineering design and outlines problems which are encountered in flight simulation. The paper concludes by reviewing the current trends in flight simulation.
