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

4.6 ProjectorsThe Visuals for the PhEagle flight simulator have been proven to work for allthree views. The next step is to determine what type of visual system to use. The choicesare either monitors or projectors. Projector screens can be aligned to offer a wider field ofview and give the pilot a better sense of flying. Figure 32 gives an example of how to setup the projectors with the use of a screen. 16Figure 32: Projector SetupA projector setup was tested to see how the simulator would look with a threeprojectorsystem. Figure 33 shows the projector displays of the Korean database.This was far better than having the three monitors display the views. The 120 O field ofview gave the pilot a better sense of flying. The projectors were situated so that each ofthe views would blend into the other. When the monitors were used, the pilot’s visualdisplay would consist of breaks causing discontinuity in the graphics.
