Visual simulation is one of the most important parts of a driving simulator. Unfortunately it is in general the most expensive part too. CGI-manufacturers tend to develope more complex systems due to the demands of the military market. The comon systems are strongly hardware-oriented. On the basis of a new type of microprocessor, the transputer, a more software-oriented approach is introduced. Transputer in connection with the new high level language OCCAM are well suited for pipelining and parallelisation due to their communication concept. The advantages of this approach are reduced costs and development time, also the ability of fast and cheap changes in algorithms. The achievable performance meets the requirements for a driving simulator very well.
