A review of the current understanding of how key simulation cueing elements affect ground- based flight simulation has been conducted. The objectives are to develop a broad assessment of current approaches in determining simulator effectiveness and to identify future research directions. The review covers the visual cues and human/machine related topics. For visual cueing related issues, the review focuses on visual transport delay, resolution, scene content, and field-of-view. For human/machine interaction issues, the review focuses on human psychophysical characteristics, pilot models, and motion cueing criteria. Results and suggested future work from past investigations are summarized. Additional recommendations are presented.
