A motion simulator comprises a fixed base (1) to which is mounted a main boom (2) which pitches about a horizontal axis under the action of a first actuator (4). A capsule support arm (5) is mounted on the end of the main boom and is able to pitch relative to it under the action of a second actuator (7). A capsule capable of carrying persons is mounted to the capsule support arm and is able to roll relative to it under the action of a third actuator (10). The main boom is pitched back and forth in a vertical plane by the first actuator to induce a varying linear acceleration at the capsule. The direction in which this acceleration is perceived to act by persons inside the capsule is controlled by the second and third actuators. Figure
