Virtual Cockpit Flight Simulator Based On GL- STUDIO Development

Currently, for the purposes of the pilot for the pilot, The cockpit is that it can be provided to the pilot’s only man-machine interface, It can not only make the pilot in the cockpit for intuitive internal understanding, but also can obtain in the process of the aircraft in flight real-time status information and control information is passed to the pilot, For each plane or flight simulator is an important structure. Virtual aircraft cockpit flight simulator is fully capable as the preliminary design of the main man-machine interface, When the hardware device designed when you can not be verified by the theoretical aspects of the virtual aircraft cockpit. Flight Simulator using virtual cockpit,Not only can reduce system development costs and cycles in large part, but also has a wide range of prospects in terms of low-cost flight simulators.In this paper, the requirements of virtual cockpit has carried on the detailed comprehensive analysis, this paper expounds the composition structure and layout of the virtual cockpit interior; Combined with the virtual cockpit in the actual application, has been clear about the virtual cockpit in functional and performance requirements; Determine the operating environment of its software and its associated development tools involved; In-depth study of the virtual dashboard panel, heading and attitude indicator, altimeter and a multi-function display. Make the overall design of a virtual cockpit development.The design on the basis of object-oriented programming, select GL Studio as a virtual aircraft cockpit control panel development platform, Through the C++ programming language, and network communication technology flexibly, virtual cockpit instrumentation systems and some electronic control panel simulation development, Among them,Virtual aircraft cockpit virtual instruments and virtual control panel is the graphical modeling achieved by GL Studio. through the way of GL Studio and vc++ mixed programming of flexible use, complete the virtual cockpit switch driver, man-machine interface and network communication. Also encountered in the design process graphics are really transparent protective cover transparent realization problem finding a suitable solution. Using two methods of single machine commissioning and system calibration was tested for its functionality and performance.Tested, The design works. Developed by the design plan of virtual cockpit is real, And it is also quite good scalability and portability it is also very strong, in terms of real-time, aircraft virtual cockpit is entirely up to the needs of pilots during training. Which has been embedded in the virtual environment, applied to the pilot routine during a training flight. Virtual Cockpit pilots use aircraft for routine training flight, not only can improve the level of actual driving, virtual cockpit as the aircraft can simulate various weather conditions, pilots can enhance the ability to respond to unexpected situations in special circumstances, and without any danger, a great protection to the safety of the pilot, but also greatly reduce training costs.
