Fast jet
simulators represent the pinnacle of simulator technology. XPI Simulation training systems deliver real world operational capabilities
for day and night missions in all weather conditions.

There are a number of issues that fast jet simulator manufacturers
should be aware of, in particular the issue of low latency
(the response time between pilot input and video output)
is crucial to the level of realism for a pilot. Handling
latency puts a lot of visual systems under strain but XPI
Simulation´s high-end products are more than capable of
dealing with the issue of latency.

XPI Simulation offers geo-specific texturing and databases
as well as a high texture memory capability. XPI Simulation
can also animate databases of any size in real time so
it is now conceivable that terrain databases representing
the entire world can be paged in real time. Previously
this information would have been too large to be held in
memory, but the database can be cut into tiles thus ensuring
that the computer only has to handle the details of each
separate tile as the area comes into view. It is now possible
to visualise gigabytes of data. This provides many advantages
to the user; Tiles can be brought in beyond the horizon
and gradually faded into view to prevent unsightly popping.
XPI Simulation also offers Worldstore a solution designed
by XPI Simulation, ideal for fast jet sim. It has been
designed to provide virtually unlimited space for 3D database
storage. This allows for the generation and the use of
geo-specific terrain databases of global size. So customers
now no longer need to worry about being hindered by the
size of databases that they actually want to use. With
Worldstore it is possible to simulataneously update the
database whilst the image generator is being used without
affecting the frame rate, ensuring there is no need to
stop training or interrupt operations.
As databases get larger, the standard representation for
co-ordinates, single precision floating point is no longer
good enough. XPI Simulation's software solves the problem
by the inclusion of double precision values within the
API and the database. It is the API that then handles the
internal conversion from double precision to the single
precision values required by OpenGL without the loss of
any accuracy.
XPI Simulation works with well established
partner companies who are experts in their own fields to
provide high fidelity cockpits, domes and motion platforms.
