Starting date and time as well as a number of other input parameters are entered to tailor the application. This application then is the main simulation engine for generating the synthetic flight test data from the pre-computed aircraft state and from user inputs. This application is command line driven so that it can run in batch mode to easily generate large numbers of files. | ||

+ | The synthetic data software suite is currently early in development. There is currently support for valid TMATS, a time channel, multiple video channels, and a 1553 channel with aircraft navigation data. Below is a screen image of the data being played back in Telspan NetView. | ||

- | The BlueMax aircraft state data is then played back and used to drive the XPlane aircraft simulation software application. At each point in time a screen capture is made of the XPlane screen. The captured screen bitmap is the fed into a video encoder. The video encoder takes the series of screen bitmaps and converts them into a series of MPEG Transport Stream packets. These TS video packets are then written to the same SQL database as the BlueMax aircraft state data. The process can be repeated with different XPlane views to make multiple video streams. Video encoding is a very CPU intensive process. Precomputing the video data that goes along with the aircraft data makes the generation of IRIG 106 data files much more efficient. | ||
