    摘要: A rotorcraft flight simulator system includes physical flight control devices for a rotorcraft vehicle. Each of the flight control devices is configured to generate, when actuated, one or more control signals via an output connector of that flight control device. The system includes a programmable interface with multiple input pins, and each of the output connectors is coupled to a respective input pin. The programmable interface includes a controller configured to attribute particular control signals received at a particular input pin to a specific flight control device. The system includes a flight simulator computer configured to receive output signals from the controller via an Ethernet port. The output signals include, for the specific flight control device, header information indicating the specific flight control device and flight control data corresponding to a particular control signal received at the particular input pin that is associated with the specific flight control device.

    摘要: An adaptive feedback timing system and method includes receiving, by a performance observation system, monitoring data associated with electronically monitoring a lesson by a variable feedback teaching device. Adaptive feedback timing also includes receiving, by the performance observation system, error detection data associated with the variable feedback teaching device automatically detecting an error made by a student during the lesson. After receiving the error detection data, a feedback pattern is automatically selected based on a performance history criterion. Feedback data is then communicated to the variable feedback teaching device for presentation to the student according to the automatically selected feedback pattern.

    摘要: A simulator environment is disclosed. In embodiments, the simulator environment includes graphics generation (GG) processors in communication with one or more display devices. Deep learning neural networks running on the GG processors are configured for run-time generation of photorealistic, geotypical content for display. The DL networks are trained on, and use as input, a combination of image-based input (e.g., imagery relevant to a particular geographical area) and a selection of geo-specific data sources that illustrate specific characteristics of the geographical area. Output images generated by the DL networks include additional data channels corresponding to these geo-specific data characteristics, so the generated images include geotypical representations of land use, elevation, vegetation, and other such characteristics.
