The modification of an existing open-source flight simulator can be a useful training tool for new simulation engineers. New engineers can use this software as a starting point in the development of a full-scale flight simulator. The Modeling and Simulation Familiarization Tool (MSFT) is an ongoing project that utilizes open-source software in such a manner. The project requires engineers to design the simulator, modify the source code, and build the physical cockpit. The end products of the MSFT effort are a fully functional flight simulator with a realistic cockpit configuration and engineering training in the areas of simulation structure, computer coding/modification, simulation configuration, and cockpit design.
