Interfacing of the Silicon Graphics Networkable Flight Simulator with SIMNET

Abstract

One of the efforts of the Network & Communications Technology Research Lab is to interface dissimilar simulators in the SIMNET World . As part of this effort we have networked (via ETHERNET) a flight simulation program running on a Silicon Graphics 4D70GT Workstation with the SIMNET M1 modules that are located in the IST Research Laboratory. Various steps were taken to achieve this task, and the keypoints are documented herein.
