Developement Of An Instrument Landing Simulation ... - Cal Poly

development. These models had to be generated, calibrated, and tested. Once these werecompleted, the graphics had to be implemented into the simulation complete with anairport and terrain database. Once completed, the simulation starts the aircraft at adistance from the airport where the pilot uses the instruments along with the visuals toland the aircraft at the airport.1.5 Continuing ResearchThe next step is to integrate multiple aircraft into the simulation arena. Thesimulator cab is a two-seater, which allows the addition of another cockpit. The rearcockpit is entirely digital complete with a flat screen display, a gaming joystick, throttle,and rudder pedals. This will enable the simulator to have “dog fighting” capability. Sincethe rear cockpit is entirely digital, it can be copied to create another desktop simulator,which can be added to the simulation to create a flight simulation arena.4
