X-Plane
is the world's most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator,
and has the most realistic flight model available for personal
computers
It is the brainchild of
this character here on the left, Austin Meyer. Go visit the simulator
website
and don't miss "Austin's Adventures"
The masterblaster
has been created into the X-Plane environment, starting from the
bits and pieces of an idea and assembling wings and controls all
the way through, testing actual flight behaviour and back, until
the creature got sufficient functionality and was translated into
3D CAD parametric drawings and CFD professional analysis (needed
just to confirm X-Plane blade theory behaviour and test it under
full Navier Stokes equations)
Austin upgraded V8.10 with
extra control input DOFs, needed to fly the masterblaster on the
special exoskeleton i developed for the simulator, as it is a
6 direct control DOFs machine. Austin did this for my needs, hopefully
the upgrade will be used by someone else too. He is simply great
