Flying training support system
A flying training support system includes: a flight condition generator that generates a simulated flight condition of a virtual another aircraft; a relative position derivation unit that derives a relative position of the virtual other aircraft based on the simulated flight condition and a real flight condition of the own aircraft; a display controller that displays an indicator indicating the virtual other aircraft at the relative position of the virtual other aircraft on a transmission display; a variation amount derivation unit that derives a simulated variation amount by which the own aircraft would vary due to flight of the virtual other aircraft, based on the simulated flight condition and the relative position of the virtual other aircraft; and a flight controller that actually varies the own aircraft so as to make the own aircraft in a state where the own aircraft varies by the simulated variation amount.
METHOD FOR CREATING A MODIFIED FLIGHT SIMULATION PROGRAM FOR A FLIGHT SIMULATION SYSTEM, AND THE FLIGHT SIMULATION SYSTEM EXECUTING THE MODIFIED FLIGHT SIMULATION PROGRAM
A method for creating a modified flight simulation program for a flight simulation system includes: obtaining a demonstration flight record associated with a preset track route of a virtual airplane; generating an add-on content pack for the flight simulation program based on the demonstration flight record; and merging the add-on content pack to the flight simulation program to create a modified flight simulation program. The generation of the add-on content pack includes: mapping the preset track route to geographical coordinate data in the real world, creating a first program module associated with a demonstration mode enabling a demonstration virtual flight along the preset track route, creating a second program module associated with an assisted flight mode enabling user control for a virtual flight within a free-flight space, and creating the add-on content pack that includes the first and the second program modules.
Adjusted-projection panel for addressing vergence-accommodation conflict in a dome-type simulator
An interactive computer simulation system includes one or more processors for performing an interactive computer simulation in an interactive simulated environment based on user input and for generating images related to the interactive computer simulation. The system includes a dome for displaying the images, the dome being cut by a base below an equatorial plane of the dome, the images being displayed on the dome at a general-projection distance. The system further includes an adjusted-projection panel having an adjusted-projection surface defining an adjusted-projection distance smaller than the general-projection distance for addressing a vergence-accommodation conflict when simulated ground images are displayed.
Visualizing sub-systems of a virtual simulated element in an interactive computer simulation system
Method and system for visualizing dynamic virtual sub-systems of a virtual simulated element in an interactive computer simulation system comprising a computer generated environment. One or more tangible instruments control the virtual simulated element in the computer generated environment. A graphical user interface comprising an interactive display portion depicting a rendered view of the virtual simulated element. While an interactive computer simulation of the virtual simulated element is performed in the interactive computer simulation system, a storage system logs dynamic data in relation to the dynamic virtual sub-systems. At least one of the dynamic virtual sub-systems of the virtual simulated element is selected and a subset of dynamic data related to the selected virtual sub-system is loaded from the storage system. The selected virtual sub-system is displayed together with the related dynamic data on the graphical user interface.
