XPI Simulation understands the ever-demanding and complex world of helicopter simulation. Helicopter training is one of the most difficult areas to simulate as there is a need to fly high and far but also low down where there is a need for high scene content. XPI Simulation is qualified to handle all simulation requirements for rotary wing aircraft.

XPI Simulation combines high fidelity visuals and motion systems to accurately replicate flight scenarios. XPI Simulation’s products are able to handle the need for multiple synchronised windows and are also able to provide support for large-area, geo-specific databases.

XPI Simulation products offer ultra realistic simulation of flying over terrain as well as excellent anti-aliasing which allows for long range detail and provides outstanding image quality for fine details of objects such as fences, trees and wires. It is important to accurately simulate the visual effects on the sand of the rotor downwash as well as the visibility difficulties for the pilot such as brown out caused by sand and mud and white out caused by snow. XPI Simulation can also offer features such as marine effects and realistic weather effects as well as offering enhanced sensor simulation capabilities.

XPI Simulation works with partners to provide high quality motion systems and is capable of providing noise and sound effects to increase the realism of the simulation. XPI Simulation also understands the importance of networking helicopter sims to train collectively. Furthermore, the company also provides simulation for night vision goggles.

XPI Simulation has supplied the visuals for two helicopter simulators to a Far Eastern customer. The contract required five fully synchronised visual channels on each of the two systems.

XPI Simulation recently won contracts from ProActive Technologies and L3 Communications to upgrade the visuals for the AH-64A Apache Helicopter. XPI Simulation visuals are being used for four Cockpit Weapons & Emergency Procedures Trainers (CWEPT) for the US Army. The 5 channel compact rack-mounted unit has been delivered to Fort Rucker, Alabama.
