Description

This training simulation demonstrates
howto use the thrust control lever (TCL)
on the V-22 tilt rotor aircraft.

Purpose

The department of defense faces
unique challenges in finding efficient
ways oftraining people on how to use
an increasingly wide array of complex
equipment. This is an example of
the "train as you fight, fight as
you train" philosophy.

Features

• Direct Manipulation
  Hypercosm's level of
  interactivity and realism
  allows computer based
  training materials to more
  precisely depict the
  interaction and response
  of physical equipment. For
  example, in this simulation,
  the nacelle angle control is
  a spring loaded thumbwheel
  that responds to direct
  manipulation of the user
  and automatically returns
  to its center position when
  you let go of it, just like
  the real thing.
  
  
• Sounds
  Hypercosm allows multiple
  sounds to be played at once
  and for the volume of the
  sounds to be controlled
  programmatically, thereby
  making it possible to
  realistically duplicate
  the sound of the
  aircraft under different
  operating conditions.
