I'm so excited to announce the launching of my Falcon 9 First Stage Simulator. This application uses engineering equations to simulate the behavior, efforts and performance, in addition to controlling the trajectory, of the first stage of a Falcon 9 (SpaceX) rocket.
It has different panels for loading structural information, performance characteristics of engines, throttle control curves and vehicle inclination, etc.The main panel shows the progress of the simulation in real-time, and a 3D model in an OpenGL window, all this, initially synchronized with a real video of the launch that allows comparing speeds and altitudes at each moment to evaluate the accuracy of the simulation. Finally, once the simulation is completed, it is possible to download all the information in an Excel file to make evaluation graphs. All parameters of the application (structural, engine and control) are fully customizable, so you can configure and simulate every mission you want and compare the results in real-time with the real video.The application is still being developed, therefore, the experience includes the launching stage and it goes on up to the separation of the second stage.You are invited to join this project!, make and share your own simulations and help me to improve the accuracy of the results.FULL VIDEO:This application is intended only for educational purposes and can be freely distributed. I am not affiliated with SpaceX in any way, shape or form. SpaceX and Falcon 9 are registered trademarks of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation.
About This Game Become part of the BLUE ANGELS TEAM; try the aerobatic simulator licensed by the U.S. Navy!Experience flight at 400 mph just 18 inches from your partner’s wing and face the challenge of official maneuvers aboard F/A-18 fighter jets and a C-130 transport aircraft. An assisted driving system allows everyone to learn even the most extreme stunts and thanks to the three play modes, anyone can experience the thrill of a real aerobatic pilot according to their abilities.
Do you think you are really an expert? Compete with the simulation mode and push your reflexes to the maximum!OFFICIAL and SPECIAL MANEUVERSDiscover all the secrets of aerobatics with 3D briefing, take complete control and activate the aircraft with the right timing on the rudder, landing gear and smoke deployment! Take off, fly and run all opening maneuvers with the C-130 “Fat Albert”, either 'PARADE PASS' or 'ASSAULT LANDING,' with no limits, and you just have to give it your best. Now you can sit in the cockpit as a soloist and perform an 'AILERON ROLL' to familiarize yourself with your own F/A-18 to then use all your adrenaline in increasingly challenging and complex maneuvers up to formation flying: the 'DIAMOND ROLL,' 'DELTA BREAK-OUT,' and 'FLEUR DE LIS' are just a few examples of all the possible shapes that you will be called upon to perform by covering all roles of the true Blue Angels pilots.AIRSHOWPlan your exhibition by composing real aerobatics with faithfully reproduced official scenarios: NAF El Centro, NAS Key West, Reno, Elmendorf AFB and Baltimore.
Your ultimate goal is to complete all airshows! You can do this by executing the real maneuvers in sequence or randomly. You have the freedom of choice. For every maneuver, you decide what role to play: the #1 FLIGHT LEADER, one of the wings, the #2 RIGHT WING and #3 LEFT WING, the #4 SLOT or one of the soloists, the #5 LEAD and #6 OPPOSING SOLO.ADDITIVE MODECreate aerobatic figures with additive mode! Freely position the planes in the scenario you've chosen and decide whether to make them take off.
You can start with a standard flight or high altitude and then take control of each aircraft in sequence. Aim nose up, make a loop, light the smoke, fly as you like, and when you're satisfied, the session for the first plane ends and the second aircraft takes off. Choose to fly in free formation or DIAMOND, DELTA, ECHELON, and LINE ABREAST and make spectacular combinations that you can relive with the use of multi-camera replays.EXPERIENCE AND SCORESOur trajectory detection system will tell you how accurate you are and the more precise you will be at all stages of the maneuver, the higher your score. Complete the figures to your best ability, exercise, win all medals and gain experience to rise to this level.
