A Versatile Computer-Generated Dynamic Flight Display

Abstract

This report describes a real-time, dynamic, computer-driven visual display program which is written in the Fortran programming language. Versatility, efficiency and ease of use are stressed in the development, resulting in an easy to interface to dynamic display which can be implemented economically with a bare minimum of graphics hardware and a sixteen bit mini-computer which has Fortran capabilities. Modular structure is stressed and speedup methods are discussed including the use of a matrix multiplier. A unique frame synthesizing feature is described in detail. Sample data base structures and display images conclude the report.
