When tuning motion platforms, subjective opinion is usually regarded as sufficient for most applications, as it should provide verification that no false cueing occurs. However, often systems are not configured to fully utilize the available motion for the desired purpose. This paper presents a new method to objectively tune simulation motion platforms. Enhanced usage of the available platform motion space is shown through an example of its application to a specific mission task. The difference in motion filter settings for two simulator platform geometries is shown. This displays the suitability of the platforms for completion of the two-axis lateral reposition task.
