How aircraft systems are implemented in flight simulators?
Hello,
Do flight simulators(FS) use original systems and hardware like FMC, air data computers, autopilot and auto throttle computers and simulate all required inputs for them(like sensors) or FS uses completely different hardware and simulate everything using only software?
For example lets take Boeing FMC. It's know to have multiple bugs. So if FS simulates FMC from design specification everything works perfect in virtual flight but you have problems in real aircraft...
Are there any software for PC's available where original aircraft software for all modules could be loaded and run in emulation mode? I assume it should be really easy tack for modern PC.
