Reviews

'I enjoyed reading Dr Lee's concise and clearly written book on flight simulation. The book ranges from traditional concerns such as visual flight scene simulation and the use of motion platforms to less familiar topics such as cognitive fidelity and the use of flight simulation in research. The most refreshing aspect of the book is the focus on the role and requirements of the pilot rather than on the technical aspects of the hardware and software. By taking the pilot as his focus Dr Lee is able to debunk some of the myths of flight simulation that continue to govern the design and operation of flight simulators. This is an excellent review of the state of flight simulation and could be enjoyed by a wide audience from the general reader to the flight simulation engineer.' David O'Hare, Associate Professor, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 'Books on Flight Simulation appear very infrequently. I would recommend this one for its fresh approach to the subject and its equal attention to don'ts as well as do's!.' The Aerospace Professional, September 2005 'Overall, the book Flight Simulation is an easy-to-read book for anyone who is interested in flight simulators from a technology point of view, to the human-factor perspective. The author opened the gate to the wonderful world of flight simulators.' Aerlines Magazine, Issue 31 '...a valuable reference for researchers who use simulators in their laboratories and research programs.' Ergonomics in Design, Spring 2007
