Synthetic Vision in FSX
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.

Re: Synthetic Vision in FSX
it is simply amazing how skilled developers mange to push the, what we thought, limits of FSX to something so spectacular...i cannot wait to have a play with this myself in the sim
bad weather night flying just became a whole lot easier in the sim

Re: Synthetic Vision in FSX
Wow, that is so amazing!!!!!
I never thought synthetic vision could be possible realized in FSX simulator.
This is really groundbreaking technology!!!! Thanks so much for all your efforts!
Now my biggest wish is exploring synthetic vision in the MV Bell 407GX?

Here is a short 15 minute video of Jon's SVS installed in the Mooney for some...

Great video! The SVS is amazing.
I do helicopter flying in the Tongass Misty fjords region in southern Alaska in FSX.
With all the raining and mists there SVS will be a great experience!
