Simaero Engineering Highlights Visual Calibration Solution for Ageing Flight Simulators

Global - Simulator engineering and maintenance provider Simaero has highlighted the operational benefits of its Visual Reference System, designed to support calibration accuracy and long-term performance of ageing full flight simulator visual systems.

• Simaero Engineering’s Visual Reference System is aimed at operators managing older-generation simulator projection systems where calibration accuracy can deteriorate over time.
• The system uses a projected pattern initially calibrated by Simaero engineers using a theodolite, creating a fixed external reference point for future projector alignment.
• The solution is designed to support more stable and repeatable visual calibration processes across simulator fleets.
• According to Simaero, the system reduces reliance on manual or ad hoc projector alignment methods often used during ongoing simulator maintenance.
• The Visual Reference System is compatible with existing display configurations across multiple simulator types.
• The company states that the system requires limited maintenance following installation and initial calibration.
• The platform also includes programmable functionality, enabling operators to define custom calibration marks and colour coding based on operational or technical requirements.
