The field of computer graphics has continued to provide an efficient means of depicting information about complex phenomena for its users. It has become a widely used tool through which the user may manipulate data to generate a different perspective of the problem at hand and, hence, offers a solution to many varied problems. One area of the application for computer graphics is the field of flight simulation. At the University of Central Florida, research is being conducted in the area of computer graphics simulation to develop a method through which a pictorial representation of the outline of a small airport runway may be modified to appear as viewed by a pilot in a defined airspace. The purpose of this paper is to provide a means of interfacing a small computer to a flight simulator device as well as a graphics terminal. This new implementation of the software will allow a pictorial display to be continuously modified by the changing positional and attitudinal parameters provided from a flight simulator's input. Another goal of this paper is to generate faster display turnaround times by programming the computer in assembly language. Further, the hardware that accomplishes this task is discussed. Finally, suggestions for continued research in this area conclude the report.

The flight simulator display peripheral, described herein, provides the visual aide necessary for observation of effects due to operator responses for any aircraft simulator which prohibits the observers from occupying space within the cockpit of the simulator. This display peripheral is provided by a three-dimensional, computer-controlled, motor-driven model which duplicates the angular movements generated by the aircraft simulator by moving a model aircraft mounted within a clear plastic ball. The display utilizes a Motorola 68000 educational computer board to translate the three aircraft angles. pitch, yaw and roll received from the aircraft simulator via an RS-232C compatible serial asynchronous communication interface at a rate of three hertz, into signals used to drive the stepper motors, mounted in a fixed coordinate frame along the three principal axes, to simulate the aircraft orientation.
