Simulator Handling
Introduction:
Precision Simulator models the combi, freighter, passenger, ER-freighter, and
ER-passenger variants of the B744 series. In addition, several airline options can
be selected re airframe, avionic equipment, and system logic. In this book, every
aircraft specific, user selectable option is marked with this green arrow:
Precision Simulator is a complete, stand-alone, flight simulation software package.
It integrates type-specific engine performance data and a comprehensive, fine-tuned
aerodynamics model for inflight and ground operations, along with a ground roll
model simulating variable slopes and surface conditions, skid, gear faults, and so on.
A dynamic, global atmosphere model generates usual and unusual weather. This
includes hazardous weather phenomena like volcanic ash or jet stream induced CAT
(a season dependent, world-wide jet stream system is embedded), as well as finer
nuances like temperature related, non-ISA pressure lapse rates—or pressure drifts
smoothly modulated by real-world weather data from the Internet, for example.
The flying area is the entire world. The database contains all airports whose
longest runway is at least 1400 m (4600 ft) long. The out-of-the-windshield view is
simplified in order to provide maximum computer power to the aircraft systems, yet
the view is sufficient to support instrument flight training with visual cues such as
traffic, weather effects, runways, and other objects.
Precision Simulator models numerous avionic components and mechanical
parts—like valves, motors, pumps—in the invisible background; the output of these
models becomes visible through flight deck indications or by the behavior of the
aircraft. The components also interact with each other, causing very complicated,
interdependent series of consequences. This book, being limited to circa 600 pages,
can describe only the most important aspects of the aircraft systems; the simulator
actually includes many more features. If you have questions that are not discussed in
this book, please refer to the 744 forum in the Internet at aerowinx.com.
To add communicational contexts to training scenarios, human simulations
interact as ATC (voice and CPDLC), cabin crew (interphone system demo), ground
crew (towing), air traffic (TCAS), PNF (checklists, calls, silent tasks), and ATIS.
With its flexible graphic layout system and network capability, Precision Simulator
can serve various purposes: run it on a single computer and use it as an FMS CBT
with split screen layout, or choose a PFD-centered layout, ergonomic for instrument
training; or connect multiple computers and monitors to set up a large, all-real-size
flight deck environment, possibly with touchscreens; or integrate the simulator’s
instrument displays in third-party hardware, and interface the simulator’s system
data with external switches and lights; feed a third-party motion platform driver or
scenery generator; or connect two instances of the simulator via Internet and run
a multi-crew session; or network the simulator for use as a virtual test aircraft in
scientific real-time experiments, and so forth.
