- This image shows a flight simulator, being build by the Faculty of
- Aerospace Engineering of the Delft University of Technology in the
- Netherlands. It's going to be used for basic research of stability and
- control of civil airliners, helicopters, cars and ships (in order of
- importancy). It's nice to know for us Amiga fans that the basic design and
- visualisation is done in Imagine, by the project leader and me on my
- A4000/040. I'm busy with a animation of the simulator motion with the data
- directly out off the control software of the platform. This for checking
- the boundaries and interference of the actuators (the hydraulic tubes) with
- the fuselage, which center of gravity is very low in this simulator (the
- first of its kind).
-
- The picture was taken on the Markt of Delft in Holland, I live behind the
- Townhouse. It was scanned with a HP ScanJet and composited with an Imagine
- trace in PhotoShop. With the new perspective-edit mode of Imagine2.9 you
- can place things much more accurate in real photos (vectorized first) than
- before. Once you have the right angles and lens focal length you can place
- your object anywhere by translating over the local axis and that
- interactively. Cool.
-
- The picture was 1990x1360 pixels (enough for rasterizing 150 lines/inch to
- separate color-plates for printing a fullcolor card) so I scaled it down to
- 704x512 en JPEG'ed it. It has square pixels, it's no NTSC picture, PAL
- however is close enough.
