title = "A low cost flight simulator using virtual reality tools",
abstract = "A simulator is build using Head-Mount-Displays and Data Gloves with trackers to test the viability of virtual reality tools in flight simulation. The simulator uses FlightGear as its simulation environment. Running several clone simulations on different computers allowed stereo imaging on the HMD and instructor station applications. Data Gloves with trackers enabled interaction with the virtual cockpit. A Uh-1h helicopter flight dynamics model is developed, compared with flight test data and used in the simulator. This experience has shown that a simulator with minimal hardware, but more intensive software and using virtual reality tools can be a potential simulator configuration in future, being more realistic and lower in cost than existing ones.",
