Engineering Flight Simulator for PVI Research

DARE has setup an Engineering Flight Simulator [EFS] facility to develop Pilot Vehicle Interface for military platforms. The EFS is based on the open source Flight Simulator environment. The PVI Graphics are developed using OpenGL graphics library for next generation Smart Multi-Function Displays (SMFD). The EFS uses DARE developed algorithms to interface and acquire essential flight data from the core flight simulator and render the MFD Graphics in real-time. The system is capable of producing visual display information for the standard instrument panels and communicating with system modules to generate aerodynamic and inertial navigation data. The simulator has advanced
