The Realization of Flight Simulation System Based on OpenGL

A visual simulation system for flight with virtual reality is designed and realized by OpenGL on Visual C++ platform. The flight environment virtual simulation system can simulate the flight rules in 3D space. In the system,the aircraft model is 3D and can be controlled. Also its poses can be displayed in 3D. The results of visual simulation show that this system is workable and effective. It is an important simulation environment for the study of the flight operation in the air and offers a very effective, economical means or approach for the research and development of other similar systems.
