Rather than use the TV display speakers, this simulator uses two dedicated speaker systems, each one with a powered subwoofer. The simulator produces sound in two main categories: External Speakers The external speakers are for sounds that originate from outside the flight deck. There are output from the main simulator computer from Prepar3D. Examples are:
A robust Ethernet network, with internet connectivity, is required for the flight simulator for simulator modules inter-communication, hardware interfacing, downloading real-time weather and software maintenance. Software Modules Inter-Communication The main computer runs the specialized software, such as ProSim737, that emulates the B-737 aircraft systems as well as provides integration of the various software and hardware

A secondary computer is primarily responsible for running a suite of aircraft simulator applications that emulate the various aircraft systems and create graphics for the flight deck displays. This computer also is used for interfacing with most of the flight deck hardware that use USB for connectivity Medium Performance but Two Video Cards The processing

The main sim computer is used for two core simulator functions: the base simulator software and the specialized aircraft software that emulates the B-737. Base Simulation Software – Prepar3D The main sim computer is used for the base flight simulator program, such as Prepar3D, which creates the external visual graphics. This software is responsible for

Most flight simulates require two computers for adequate performance and fidelity. More than two computers is usually not necessary and would result increased complexity and maintenance. Main Computer The main sim computer is used for the flight simulator program, such as Prepar3D, which creates the external visual graphics. It also runs the specialized software, such
