Ground Vehicle Simulators

Ground Vehicle Simulators

Simulators for automobiles, tanks, and heavy equipment have been built with Silicon Graphics systems. Frame rates and transport delays are similar to those for aircraft simulators. However, there is a smaller world of simulated "geography" to maintain in the model. Also, the viewpoint of the display changes more slowly, and through smaller angles, than the viewpoint from an aircraft simulator. These factors can make it somewhat simpler for a ground vehicle simulator to update its display.
