Abstract
This paper describes the design of the software architecture for the jet fighter simulator on desktop computer, which provides a robust simulation framework that allows the simulator to fulfill training or entertainment goals. A human pilot math model was developed using LYRASim as the 6-DoF (6 Degree-of-Freedom) flight dynamic model (FDM). Additionally, we developed a Qt-based application comprising a number of HUD (Head Up Display) display systems that facilitated operations during flight, which sends control data to LYRASim and meanwhile reads realtime flight data from LYRASim over UDP sockets. LYRASim has also been extended to handle output of messages over a socket to a 2D and a 3D virtual application used at the same computer which provide a 2D and a 3D view similar to what the realtime control operator would see. The software architecture consists of above components, and the simulation results show that prototype system based on this architecture is flexible, valid and economic. Finally, suggestions are made for improvement of future desktop-based jet flight simulator.
