SIX Degrees of Freedom

Roll, Pitch, Yaw, Sway, Surge, Heave

PITCH: The angle of the vehicle up or down. Imagine when you go up a hill
or down a hill. Affects both cars and planes in similar ways.

ROLL: The angle of the vehicle side to side vs the horizon. Imagine when
you are in a banked curve. Mostly affect planes as car move very little
horizontally. Unless you are in a Nascar banked curve. Some people
confuses roll with Sway (Lateral Gravitational Forces)

SWAY: The lateral G force affecting the vehicle. Imagine when you are in a
high speed curve and your car is been "pushed" to the outside of the curve.
One of the most important effects for cars, not as important for planes.

SURGE: The longitudinal G force affecting the vehicle. Imagine when you
are accelerating or breaking. That's the effect that makes you feel gear
changes on cars.

HEAVE: The vertical G forces affecting the vehicle. Imagine for a car, the
road texture and bumps. For planes, turbulence, when you hit the ground
and etc...Affects both cars and planes in similar ways.

YAW: Same as Traction loss, but for planes. Like when you press the
rudders and the plane twist without rolling or pitching. Only for planes. Do
not work with cars.
