The paper presents an overview of the upgrading programme of the NLR Flight Simulator. It addresses the period from some years ago, when the simulator has a relatively small motion system and limited vision of the outside world, till the end of 1994. The following major improvements have already been realized: The avionics system consisting of: an ARINC bus interface system to couple a.o. EFIS displays, and a programmable EFIS; general-purpose graphics stations; A new fully hydrostatic 6 degrees-of-freedom motion system with high bandwidth (only 45 deg phase lag at 4 Hz for acceleration commands from the simulator computer); A high bandwidth digital bus interface system. Upgrades forseen for the coming 2 years are: Increasing the computational power; Installation of an F-16 cockpit with g-seat; Visual system with increased field-of-view, at least 150 deg. horizontal x 60 deg. vertical.
