==FlightGear used in a worldwide unique paragliding simulator== | |||
ActiveFly is a simulator just for paragliding. It let's you practice paragliding on the ground. | |||
"''In order to make practicing with the ActiveFly Simulator as realistic as possible, the harness as well as the risers and brakes are suspended below a frame in such a way that they can be operated. The brakes are extended and retracted via servos, simulating steering forces as they occur in a particular situation. The pilot will try to keep these forces constant by pulling or releasing the brakes. His actions can be viewed on a monitor and subsequently evaluated, allowing him to check the results and monitor progress as he develops his piloting skills.''" | |||

As visualizing system they use FlightGear. | |||
Some bigger images which shows the sim in action: | |||

Maybe they should use some of our new generated sceneries. | |||
But great to see how FlightGear can be used in many ways! | |||
