Diamond Simulation Flight Simulator

Diamond Simulation has a new generation of flight simulators that fall under the wings (no pun intended) of D-SIM-NG. These simulators will comprise of newer and more powerful P2/P3 software, a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit, the Tropos 1000 visual system and the True Environment ATC simulation program. The Tropos holds the distinction of being the only image generator developed using off-the-shelf graphic processors that is able to generate runway lighting realistically. This won’t be available to the masses as it will probably be way out of the average household’s budget, but it makes me sleep better knowing that folks trained to fly planes are given the very best equipment possible.
