Synthetic Vision in FSX finally a reality

Since there are some other efforts out there its time to post the evolution this sideline project went through....Aint Honeywell (or Rockwell Collins or any specific display) yet but getting there. Special thanks to my good friend Federico for helping me access the terrain data. Now the true power of D3D11 gauge tech can be shown. Except for the first shot, most of the tests are being done at or near Riverside airfield in Deming, Washington state (ICAO 4WA8) with OrbX PNW. I should point out however that it doesn't matter what terrain addons you have installed. The elevation data is snapped in real time straight from FSX on the fly. Although the displayed resolution may be altered (3 arc second here or roughly 92.77 sq m per quad) the sample points will match up identically with what FSX is showing outside.

 

 

Early tests with wireframe although there were some positioning errors that had north/south flipped.

Next steps are adding water bodies, airport markers, and HITS.

this is really awesome

one Qestion. How

"How" is a good question, but of much more interest to me, personally, would be "When?", closely followed by "How Much?" and "Will it work in FS9??"

 

But those are just me :)

How is....well secret at this time. All I can say is that DX11 can do much. When? When its ready. How much? To be decided but will certainly be reasonable. FS9? Nope....FSX/P3D only.

Well shut up and take my money. :)

I second Johnny's motion :)
