Wie weet een oplossing hiervoor? Deze thread is vergrendeld. Je kunt de vraag of stem volgen als dit voor jou nuttig is, maar je kunt deze thread niet beantwoorden. Ik heb dezelfde vraag 0. Beste Peter, Flight Simulator '98 is helaas zo oud dat deze nergens meer in compatibiliteitsdocumentatie terug te vinden is. Andere, met name de grotere commerciële luchthavens met gedetailleerde platform- en taxibaanstructuren, werden gebouwd op basis van gedetailleerde informatie in de eigen database van Jeppesen , een van de belangrijkste commerciële leveranciers van wereldwijde luchtvaartnavigatiegegevens. In combinatie hebben deze nieuwe gegevensbronnen in Flight Simulator de franchise in staat gesteld om de opname van vrijwel alle gedocumenteerde luchthaven- en navigatiehulpmiddelen ter wereld te claimen, evenals de implementatie van de nieuwe GPS-functie mogelijk te maken. Net als bij FS98, werd de ontwikkeling van landschappen met behulp van deze nieuwe gegevensbronnen in FS uitbesteed aan MicroScene in San Ramon, in samenwerking met het kernontwikkelingsteam van Microsoft. Flight Simulator versie 8. Naast verbeterde graphics introduceerde FS vliegtuigen voor luchtverkeersleiding ATC en kunstmatige intelligentie AI , waardoor gebruikers naast computergestuurde vliegtuigen kunnen vliegen en communiceren met luchthavens. Er is een optie toegevoegd voor een doelframerate, waardoor een cap op de framerate mogelijk is om stotteren te verminderen tijdens het laden van textuur en andere onderhoudstaken. Bovendien werd de 3D Virtual Cockpit-functie van FS98 opnieuw toegevoegd in een sterk verbeterde vorm, waardoor in feite een zicht op de cockpit werd gecreëerd vanuit het standpunt van een echte piloot. De externe blik vertoonde ook een traagheidseffect, dat een illusie van beweging opwekte in een realistische fysieke omgeving. De simulatie verloopt soepeler dan Flight Simulator , zelfs op vergelijkbare hardware. Een gratis exemplaar van Fighter Ace 2 werd ook bij de software geleverd. Flight Simulator A Century of Flight versie 9. Het programma omvatte een verbeterde weerengine die voor het eerst voor echte driedimensionale wolken en echte plaatselijke weersomstandigheden zorgde. De engine stelde gebruikers ook in staat weersinformatie van echte weerstations te downloaden , waardoor de simulator het weer kon synchroniseren met de echte wereld. Andere verbeteringen ten opzichte van de vorige versie waren onder meer betere ATC-communicatie, GPS-apparatuur , interactieve virtuele cockpits en meer variatie in autogeen, zoals schuren, straatverlichting, silo's, enz. Flight Simulator is ook de laatste versie met Meigs Field als standaardluchthaven. De luchthaven werd gesloten op 30 maart en de luchthaven werd verwijderd in de daaropvolgende releases. Flight Simulator X versie Het uitbreidingspakket, genaamd Acceleration , werd later uitgebracht en bevat nieuwe missies, vliegtuigen en andere updates. De Deluxe-editie van Flight Simulator X bevat de Software Development Kit SDK , die een object-placer bevat, waardoor de autogen en volledige landschapsbibliotheek van de game kan worden gebruikt in missies of add-on- landschappen. Ten slotte werd de mogelijkheid om de stuurvlakken van vliegtuigen met de muis te bedienen opnieuw geïntroduceerd nadat deze was verwijderd in FS Eerdere versies lieten geen navigatie in de grote cirkel toe op breedtegraden hoger dan 60 graden noord of zuid , en rond graden noord-zuid werd het onmogelijk om dichter naar de polen te "vliegen", ongeacht welke kompasrichting werd gevolgd. Dit probleem is opgelost in FSX. Gebruikers kunnen nu door elke grote cirkel navigeren en zowel over de Noordpool als de Zuidpool "vliegen". FSX is de eerste van de serie die vanwege ruimtebeperkingen exclusief op dvd-rom wordt uitgebracht. Via internet of een telefoon wordt een hardwarenummer gegenereerd en een bijbehorende code wordt vervolgens gebruikt om de dvd op slechts één enkele computer te vergrendelen. Het vereist ook een aanzienlijk krachtigere computer om soepel te werken, zelfs bij lage grafische instellingen. Gebruikers hebben gemeld dat het spel "CPU-gebonden" is - een krachtige processor is over het algemeen nuttiger bij het verbeteren van de prestaties dan een krachtige grafische kaart. Meigs Field in Chicago werd verwijderd na de plotselinge vernietiging in , terwijl Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, dat in was gesloten, bleef bestaan. Microsoft heeft hun eerste uitbreidingspakket voor Flight Simulator in jaren, Flight Simulator X: Acceleration genaamd , op 23 oktober op de Amerikaanse markt uitgebracht en op 1 november op de Australische markt uitgebracht. In tegenstelling tot het basisspel, dat de classificatie E heeft. In veel productrecensies klaagden gebruikers over meerdere bugs in de eerste release van het pakket. Een van de bugs, die alleen in de standaardeditie voorkomen, is dat het Maule Air Orion-vliegtuig dat in de missie wordt gebruikt, meters mist en andere problemen heeft, aangezien het een vliegtuig is dat alleen in de Deluxe-versie is. Op 9 juli kondigde Dovetail Games een licentieovereenkomst aan met Microsoft om Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition te distribueren en verdere producten te ontwikkelen op basis van de technologie van Microsoft voor de entertainmentmarkt. Het bevat "alle standaard Steam- functionaliteit" en vervangt het GameSpy- multiplayer-systeem door het multiplayer-systeem van Steam. Het bedrijf was oorspronkelijk van plan om deze game in op de markt te brengen. Het programma kwam echter in beschikbaar. In april werd de ontwikkeling van Flight Sim World afgesloten en eindigde de verkoop in mei De nieuwste inzending voor de serie werd voor het eerst onthuld in juni , tijdens de E3 conferentie van Microsoft. Kort na de aankondiging stelde Microsoft Studios de webpagina Microsoft Flight Simulator Insider Program voor het publiek beschikbaar, waar deelnemers zich konden abonneren op nieuws, feedback konden geven, toegang konden krijgen tot een privéforum en in aanmerking konden komen om deel te nemen aan alfa- en bètaversies van het spel. Flight Simulator biedt aanzienlijk meer landschapsdetails, waarbij vrijwel elk deel van de wereld nauwkeurig wordt gemodelleerd. De simulatie omvat ook veel geavanceerdere vliegtuigen, met bijna complete simulaties van vliegtuigsystemen, overheadpanelen en vluchtbeheercomputers FMC's in commerciële straalvliegtuigen; functies die in eerdere versies zeer onvolledig waren. Het biedt high-fidelity schaduwgeneratie en reflecties op vliegtuigoppervlakken, drukke luchthavens met geanimeerde voertuigen en mensen, complexe wolkenformaties, gedefinieerde kustlijnen en waterlichamen, realistische neerslageffecten op de voorruit van het vliegtuig en zeer gedetailleerde terreingeneratie met een enorme hoeveelheid automatisch gegenereerde landschappen. Op de officiële website van de game staat: "Microsoft Flight Simulator is de volgende generatie van een van de meest geliefde simulatie-franchises. Van lichte vliegtuigen tot wide-body jets, vlieg met zeer gedetailleerde en verbluffende vliegtuigen in een ongelooflijk realistische wereld. Maak je vliegplan en vlieg overal op de planeet. Ja Nee. Helaas, dit heeft niet geholpen. Peter Pietersen. Hoewel FS98 een oud programma is, wil ik toch graag het programma draaien op Windows 7. Dat lukt aardig, behalve dat de views Cockpit, Tower, maps niet verschijnen. Soms wel bij starten van een nieuwe flight, maar bij het wisselen naar een ander view wordt het uitzicht vanuit de cockpit zwart. Windows 7 en Flight Simulator 98 Vooral door niet-amerikanen wordt beweerd dat Microsoft in het programma te veel de nadruk legt op de Verenigde Staten , bijvoorbeeld door voor dat deel van de wereld de meest gedetailleerde landschappen toe te voegen en door in het spel uitsluitend gebruik te maken van Boeing - verkeersvliegtuigen en niet van Airbus -toestellen. Microsoft heeft zich hier wat van aangetrokken en in de laatste versie, FSX heeft de gebruiker standaard ook de mogelijkheid om met een Airbus A het luchtruim te kiezen vanaf een gedetailleerde Europese luchthaven. Daarnaast heeft de gebruiker nog keuze uit ruim Microsoft Flight Simulator is zo opgebouwd dat het voor gebruikers bijzonder eenvoudig is om vrijwel elk aspect van het programma te wijzigen. In de online-flightsimulatorwereld worden de diverse types van aanpassingen ingedeeld in verschillende categorieën, te weten:. Veel van deze aanpassingen zijn gratis te downloaden vanaf websites als dutchfs. Hoe dit te installeren is, is meestal te vinden in een readme -bestand in de add-on. Dit verschilt bovendien per download. Daarnaast zijn er ook professionele softwareontwikkelaars die zich volledig hebben gericht op het zo realistisch mogelijk namaken van vliegtuigen of luchthavens voor Microsoft Flight Simulator. Dit zijn de zogenaamde payware add-ons. Er zijn gebruikers die nog verder gaan door met replicaonderdelen een cockpit na te bouwen. Populair daarbij zijn de Boeing en de Cessna , waarvoor vrijwel elk onderdeel in de cockpit als replica beschikbaar is. In Nederland zijn naar schatting 10 à 15 projecten waarbij simulators in schuurtjes, slaapkamers of kelders worden opgebouwd. De meest realistische cockpit

  • Pub- Lished a Similar Version 1.0 for the First Generation Apple Macintosh (In Monochrome Only)
    The History of Flight Simulator In October 2001 the latest version of Flight Simulator was launched by Microsoft - Flight Simulator 2002 (FS2002). Hundreds of enthusiasts and indeed pilots were involved in its development, programming and beta testing. It would appear that millions of copies have already sold worldwide of what can be considered as the “Eighth Generation” of this hugely successful franchise. So if this is the eighth generation, what about the first and consecutive versions and what did they look like? In this first chapter we thought we should give you a complete overview of the history of Flight Simulator since its first release in 1979. From all those years ago many different versions have been released for a variety of oper- ating systems and machines. In fact, Flight Simulator has become a catalyst for one of the biggest aviation genres in the world. Thanks to the inventiveness and dedication of a student called Bruce Artwick. In the mid-70's Bruce Artwick was an electrical engineering student at the University of Illinois. Being a passionate pilot, it was only natural that the principles of flight became the focus of his studies. In his thesis of May 1975, called ‘A versatile computer-generated dynamic flight display’, he presented the flight model of an aircraft displayed on a computer screen. He proved that a 6800 processor (the first available microcomputer at the time) was able to handle both the arith- metic and the graphic display, needed for real-time flight simulation. In short: the first flight simulator was born. The Birth of Flight Simulator In 1978 Bruce Artwick, together with Stu Moment, founded a software company by the name of subLOGIC and started developing graphics programs for the 6800, 6502, 8080 and other processors.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. PC-Based Aviation Training Devices for Pilot Training in Visual Flight Rules Procedures; Development, Validation and Effectiveness A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Aviation at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Savern Reweti 2014 Abstract Flying is a difficult and complex activity that requires a significant level of attention from the pilot as well as a lengthy training period to gain sufficient competency. For issues of both cost and safety, flight simulation has been an integral part of flight training from its earliest beginnings. There have been a number of technological developments and improvements in both the level of fidelity and the training effectiveness of flight simulators. As a result, flight simulators in use today are the result of this technological, psychological, and engineering evolution. Indeed, simulator cockpits can now accurately replicate all of the functions of flight controls and instrumentation found in real aircraft. Furthermore, the development of high- resolution display systems utilising computer-generated imagery (CGI), means that flight simulators can now display very realistic terrain and environmental effects. The high cost of modern full motion flight simulators (FFSs) has meant that their use has generally been restricted to commercial airlines, military forces, and government agencies. More recently, rapid advances and decreasing costs in PC-based computer technology has enabled flight-training organisations to conduct more training with less expensive fixed-base flight training devices (FTDs).

  • Hints on Flying the Pilatus B4
    Hints on Flying the Pilatus B4 This is an English summary of Jochen Reuter's paper, published on the SAGA-website www.sagach.ch I could not resist adding a few hints of my own, where I saw it appropriate. But overall, it is still Jochen's text. And I was too lazy to convert any units of measurement from metric to English. If you prefer to go by knots and pounds etc. you will have to juggle the units yourself. General Remarks Any pilot, who is new to the B4 will notice that it is a "noisy" glider. The "blonk-blonk" of the skin panels can upset a novice, but after a few flights you get used to it and before long you'll ignore it. Jochen's B4 came from the UK and a previous owner had apparently tried to turn it into a high-performance machine. All the skin joints and rivet heads had been covered and smoothed. But if you intend to do aerobatics, this is not a good idea at all. Apart from the additional weight and lots of useless work, the putty becomes brittle with time and when the structure is flexing, will crack and eventually peel off. Talking about C of G: Jochen is very tall and weighs around 100 kg. So he flies at the load limit and also the forward CG limit. Earlier, he used to fly with the small tail ballast weight (2.3 kg), mainly to facilitate spinning, but now he recommends even for heavy pilots not to. In his opinion, the B4 handles better with a forward CG.
