[simpits-tech] motion systems for sims

[Stig Joergensen]

Well you can get rid of the "bounce" feeling, by makeing a locking
mechanism on the actuator piston, the big problem as i see it, the air
preasure need for speed is going to be huge, i doubt that a normal 2hk
300liters/min (8 bar) will do the job, even if you have one of these per
actuator. Well maybe in a standard turn it will be enough, but to get
the "bumpy" and the "sink" feeling on takeoff will require a lot more of
"air speed"

One thing you need to know about using pnumatic actuators.  You'll
*never*
be rid of the inherent *bounce* that is has because air is compressable.
That's why "real" motion systems are based upon hydraulics.

have to probably switch to hydraulics anyway if he were to begin again.
