Abstract:

This report describes several advancements in low-cost simulation technology. The original intent of the project was to build a desk top F-16 Head-Up Display simulator. Although this ultimate objective was not achieved, advancements in computer generated display imagery and six degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics were accomplished and are described herein. Commercial low-cost microcomputer and microprocessor components were used for all applications, and proved to have adequate computational capability for a variety of simulation tasks. Author
