Continuing the initiative to reduce the cost of flight simulation implementation, a further three F22 projectors from Norway’s projectiondesign have been supplied to Dutch-based technology manufacturer MPS for use in its latest FTSD (Flight Simulation Training Device) qualified Airbus A320 flight simulator.
MPS is based in Groenekan, Netherlands, MPS (Multi Pilot Simulations) and is the brainchild of the experienced aviation industry solution provider Dick Verburg.
Â
The standard MPS FSTD comes with a high-end RSI Visual Systems Raster XT4 image generator and a direct projection screen with a 200-degree by 30-degree horizontal field of view, while a more advanced version offers a collimated mirror display for enhanced realism.
Â
Four FSTD’s are installed at EPST. One MPS FTSD Airbus A320 flight simulator, refurbished by MPS has now been installed at EPST’s headquarters in Utrecht. There is another based on a Boeing B737-800W design and using three projectiondesign F22 wqxga projectors; a third based on the same cockpit but with three F12 wuxga projectors; and a fourth simulator that is used as a procedural trainer which utilises a single projectiondesign F22 wuxga projector.

Gerben van den Berg, Regional Director, Benelux and CES Europe at projectiondesign says: “Civil aviation is a big growth market for us and is testament to being able to provide custom specific projectors to MPS for its ground-breaking flight simulation systems.”
