A flight simulator, motion simulator or orientation simulator for the spatial movement of at least one person, and in particular for the simulation of acceleration sequences, has a holding device for holding a person in a region of the center. The holding device is mounted on a carriage via a movement device. The carriage can be displaced, in particular linearly, along a horizontally oriented main carrier. The main carrier is rotationally driven about a vertically oriented major axis of rotation and the center is displaceable between a first outer maximum position and a second outer maximum position by moving the carriage along a trajectory on the main carrier. A normal distance between the first outer maximum position of the center and the major axis of rotation is greater than the normal distance between the second outer maximum position of the center and the major axis of rotation.
The invention relates to a flight simulator and a method for flight simulation, comprising a simulator cabin (1) which is provided on a parallel kinematic arrangement, said simulator cabin (1) having a maximum positive pitch position, in which the roll axis (11), starting from the horizontal course, is inclined as far as possible towards the top by a first pitch angle (12) in the framework of the kinematic possibilities of the parallel kinematic arrangement (6) while maintaining optionally provided control reserves. As a result, the operator (3) is inclined towards the rear, wherein the first pitch angle (12) is greater than 25°.
A self-propelled driving simulator has a machine frame which can be moved by three, preferably four or more, wheel assemblies on an underlying surface. The wheel assemblies each contain at least one wheel which can move on the underlying surface and which is arranged so as to be rotatable about a steering axle. The machine frame is coupled to a cockpit which contains a seat for a person as well as operator control elements for controlling the driving simulator. The cockpit has a degree of freedom of rotational movement with respect to the machine frame, with the result that the cockpit can be rotated with respect to the machine frame about a main rotational axis, and/or wherein the main rotational axis is preferably a normal vector of the plane spanned by the wheel contact faces of the wheels on the underlying surface.

Accelerations are simulated for a person, on whom a main acceleration acts by rotation of the person at a distance about a main axis and by gravitational acceleration.
