?eight epenence):ue to t0e restricted field of ,ie!@ it is sometimes difficult to identify t0e 0eig0t of t0e

model in relation to t0e ,ie!er. If Eeig0t :ependence is acti,ated@ t0e model is displaced up!ards or

do!n!ards depending on t0e position of t0e model in relation to t0e 0eig0t of t0e ,ie!er. it0out realiAing@

many pilots fly directly o,er0ead in t0e simulator due to t0e restricted field of ,ie!. If Eeig0t :ependence is

acti,ated@ t0e model is t0en at t0e upper edge of t0e screen.

small field of ,ision on t0e monitor and to introduce a greater degree of dynamism t0an it !ould 0a,e in

reality !it0 a !ide field of ,ision. Camera delay ensures t0at t0e camera does not instantaneously follo! t0e

accelerations of t0e model so t0at c0anges in t0e altitude of t0e model can )e recogniAed sooner. 80is is

e3tremely important for landings and t0e smoot0 performance of aero)atics. Simultaneously@ 0o!e,er in t0e

case of an e3treme %: 0elicopter flig0t@ t0e model may appear to mo,e )ecause t0e camera is not al!ays
