TVORBA MODELU REFERENČNÉHO LETISKA PRE GENERÁTOR OBRAZU LETOVÉHO SIMULÁTORA

Abstract

This paper describes the fundamentals of creating reference airport scenery for the X-Plane flight simulator. The work contains other acquired knowledge that is necessary or useful in the process of creating a scenery for a flight simulator image generator. The introductory part of the work focuses on the history, development and importance of flight simulators and image generators, it points out the importance of their constant development and quality improvement. The theoretical part of the work is mainly focused on defining the basic file types, their description and information about the usage of the rendering pipeline. In the practical part, the work focuses on Bratislava and Piešťany airport scenery development for the X-Plane flight simulator and on the subsequent possibility of using these sceneries for image generator of the L-410 UVP-E20 flight simulator, which is currently operated by the University of Žilina.
