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

6. Conclusion:With the completion of the graphics, the PhEagle Flight Simulator is now acomplete simulator. The simulator cab has a stick, rudder, and throttles complete withforce feedback. Accurate models complete with a SixDOF non-linear model, an enginemodel, an ILS model, stick inputs and instrument outputs model, atmospheric model, andfinally a graphics model that displays all three views, create an accurate aircraftsimulation. Real Time Workshop running the model in Simulink keeps the simulationrunning in real time. All these aspects of PhEagle make Aeronautical Engineering at CalPoly unique when compared to other universities.The baseline of the simulator is set. Further development of the simulator willallow Cal Poly to keep up with industry in the simulation world. Further improvements ofthe simulator are inevitable as students interest has increased due to the advent ofgraphics. The addition of more models is simple with tutorials to teach the students howto generate different types of models. The PhEagle Virtual Library will enable thestudents to document code and models to keep the simulation backed up and updated.With the onset of new graphics the visuals will be able to improve to eventually contain aHUD. Copying the baseline simulation from the front cockpit to the rear cockpit willbring forth the development of a combat simulator. Since the back seat is entirely digital,copying the back seat and adding a desktop simulator will finally develop a CombatSimulation Arena where any number and any type of aircraft can be modeled within thesame 3-Dimensional world. Also, now that the simulation is complete, the simulator canbe implemented into the classrooms to teach the students information about the cockpit43
