Conventional aircraft cockpit instruments, presented on a computer generated colour display, are discussed in the context of research flight simulation, and their general characteristics in this application are established. The hardware and software involved in a realization of a simulator cockpit instrument panel using this approach is described, and the significant problem areas and solutions achieved are highlighted. Detailed discussion of two of the more interesting instruments is provided to illustrate the methods. Analysis of subjective assessments and timing measurements confirms the success of the work.
