ABSTRACT:
A flight simulator having an operator console, a conventional television receiver and one or more transparencies which are overlaid on the face of the television receiver.Electronic signals, generated by circuits housed in the operator console, produce an illuminated display on the television receiver including movable symbols representing the simulated aircraft, and fixed symbols representing environmental features such as landing fields. Controls on the console permit an operator to "fly" the aircraft symbol from, around and to the fields. Two modes of operation are provided, one simulating cross-country flight and the other, employing an enlarged scale representation, simulating takeoff and landing conditions.The overlay includes other fixed environmental features such as mountains. The display is divided into two portions, one in elevation and the other in plan, with aircraft symbols being concurrently visible in each portion.
