Spring Control Loading System Description (141/142)
The Spring Control Loading system is a passive spring system that provides flight control “feel.” The load cylinders return the flight controls to a neutral position when the pilot releases pressure.
Spring Control Loading System Description (TruFlite)
The Spring Control Loading system is a passive spring system that provides flight control “feel.” The springs return the flight controls to a neutral position when the pilot releases pressure.
Spring Control Loading System Description (Mentor)
The Spring Control Loading system is a passive spring system that provides flight control “feel.” The springs return the flight controls to a neutral position when the pilot releases pressure.
Electronic Control Loading (ECL 3.0) System Description
The ECL Software runs a model of the flight control system in a real aircraft. The pilot input into the model is defined as a force. The model output is position, velocity, and acceleration.
Electronic Control Loading (ECL 2.0) System Description
The ECL2 Software runs a model of the flight control system in a real aircraft. The pilot input into the model is defined as a force. The model output is position, velocity, and acceleration.
Multibus System Description
The I/O or Input/Output Subsystem utilizes a family of Multibus 1 boards. Multibus 1 is an asynchronous bus that accommodates devices with various transfer rates while maintaining maximum throughput.
I/O System Description
The I/O or Input/Output System consists of Digital Inputs, Digital Outputs, Analog Inputs, and Analog Outputs. The I/O System is managed by the Host software through the CAN Bus System.
Sound System Description
The sound system is controlled by Host software. The Host is responsible for generating the environmental sounds, such as engine sounds, and cockpit alerts.
Ethernet System Description
Primary system communications on the simulator are through Ethernet. Ethernet switches connect Ethernet devices to a central location or locations for Ethernet communications.
