Modular Flight Simulator Infrastructure with Virtual Instruments

The patent uses virtual copies of physical instruments displayed on screens instead of actual physical instruments. The virtualized instruments are rendered computer-generated images that replicate the appearance and functionality of real flight instruments, allowing users to interact with virtual representations rather than expensive physical replicas. This copying approach maintains simulation realism while dramatically reducing infrastructure complexity and cost.

The patent replaces mechanical physical instruments with software-based virtual instruments displayed on electronic screens. Instead of using actual flight instruments with moving parts and mechanical interfaces, the system uses computer-generated visual displays that can be controlled through software, substituting mechanical systems with electronic and software-based systems to reduce complexity while maintaining functionality.

The patent implements a dynamic infrastructure where display screens can be repositioned, reconfigured, and adapted to different spatial arrangements. The virtualized instruments and participant representations can be dynamically adjusted in position, size, and configuration through software control, allowing the simulation environment to adapt to different user needs, space constraints, and training scenarios without requiring physical reconfiguration of a large cockpit structure.

The patent creates a universal infrastructure where a single modular setup can serve multiple functions and configurations. The same display screens and virtualized instruments can be used for different training scenarios, participant configurations, and spatial arrangements, making the system adaptable to various needs without requiring separate dedicated infrastructure for each use case.
