roadways, railways and man-made waterways with real-time traffic. parametrically generated urban development. accurate celestial events, with correct moon phases and constellations. realistic weather model with clouds, winds and precipitation. realistic time of day and seasonal lighting (morning, day, dusk, night). continent-specific land and water cover classifications. accurate topography derived from space-borne mapping missions.
detailed landscape texture coverage with seasonal landscape changes.There is a good reason FSX and P3D have been chosen as a platform for SpacePort: A legacy of several decades of leading-edge flight simulation software, culminating in the latest release, Lockheed Martin's P3D V5.x.įSX is a version released in 2006 and still going strong today, with an incredibly rich ecosystem, well-established industry of add-on software, robust Software Development Kit (SDK), and with leading edge industry adopters such as Lockheed Martin.įSX simulator platform models the entire planet in incredible detail, including:
Object connectivity and dis-connectivity in real-time. Pin-point maneuverability and precision docking. User-definable rocket and RCS (Reaction Control Systems) propulsion. Auto-calculated body physics properties (MOI, CG, weight and ballance). User-definable parametric collision envelopes. Completely expandable and extensive world. Building on proven and flexible FSX ecosystem.
Whole-globe coverage in unprecedented detail. A completely new, deterministic physics engine utilized as a ballistic astrodynamic flight model. Here is a partial list of features you can find in SpacePort simulator: This physics engine is applied only to the objects that were designed to be used as spacecraft, meaning - the default aircraft fly as normal, and the spacecraft objects behave under ballistic astrodynamic rules of motion.Īlong with the physics engine comes a sophisticated, high-fidelity collision engine, completely user-definable through simulator's SimObject container expanded with spacecraft-specific functionality. SpacePort does not rely on simulator's flight model - instead, it completely replaces it with its own physics engine which implements a sophisticated deterministic physics solver to precisely simulate spaceflight in real time. SpacePort is an add-on for Microsoft's Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D (P3D) that enables a high-fidelity simulation of spaceflight using the visual environment, assets and the ecosystem of Microsoft's Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin's P3D.
