FlightSafety's Bell 212/412 Sim Is Vital V-9 Equipped

Fort Worth Center Announces Additional Training Enhancements For Bell Training Ctr

A Bell 212/412 full-flight simulator at the FlightSafety Helicopter Learning Center in Fort Worth, Texas, has re-entered customer service certified to FAA Level "C" with a new VITAL V-9 high-definition visual system. The addition of the industry's most advanced visual system provides the Bell 212/412 simulator with significantly enhanced training realism.

A second flight simulator at the FlightSafety Bell Helicopter center is also to be refitted with the VITAL V-9 visual system this year. A Bell 222 helicopter full-flight simulator will be brought to the forefront of training technology by the installation of the new-generation VITAL V-9 system.

The new VITAL V-9 system produces a sharper, more detailed scene with realworld textures through the use of samples rather than hard-edged polygons. Using the higher capacity of new computers, the V-9 system incorporates "anisotropic" (meaning no uniform shape) texture sampling. This new technique treats textures as if they are on an ellipse tilted to the angle that the surface would be viewed by the pilotAnisotropic texture filtering calculates the shape of this ellipse, maps it onto the required texture, and then takes an average of the colors, from up to 32 texels (texture elements) within the ellipse, to decide what color should be plotted onto the target surface.

The VITAL V-9 visual system and its MultiView projectors are produced by the FlightSafety Visual Systems Division in St. Louis, Missouri.
