What is it about?
Subjective opinion is regarded as sufficient to ensure that flight simulation motion platforms do not provide false cueing during piloted simulation campaigns. However, results from this practice are systems that may be far from optimal for their specfic purpose. This paper presents a new method for tuning motion systems, utilising virtual engineering methods, to tune systems objectively. The first steps in the use of the approach are demonstrated through analysis of several test cases obtained from real-time piloted simulation.

Why is it important?
There are still a lack of objective critieria for analysis of motion response in real-time simulation. Efforts to define new criteria, such as the Objective Motion Cueing Test (OMCT) technique, should be supported. The tools developed within this research can support the further development of new objective methods, in the hope that these can be adopted in the future. The motion requirements of rotorcraft are considered in the research, often not the focus of motion investigations.
