The invention relates to a real-time fixed wing aircraft simulation system and a simulation method. The real-time fixed wing aircraft simulation system comprises a lower computer, a host computer, a ground station unit, an instrument unit, a vision unit and a parameter interface unit, wherein the lower computer is used for operating an aircraft model in a real-time embedded system, the host computer is used for compiling an aircraft model application program into the real-time embedded operation system and sending the compiled real-time embedded operation system to the lower computer, PID control parameters of the aircraft model are modified in real time, an operation state of the aircraft model is monitored, and the parameter interface unit is used for sending designated aircraft model parameters to the lower computer to realize real-time simulation of a designated fixed wing aircraft. Through the system and the method, a flight scene is simulated in real time, versatility of the aircraft simulation system is improved, complex programming and debugging are avoided, and simulation cost is reduced.
