The Tornado Full Mission Simulator reproduces every possible training scenario from routine emergency procedures through to combat missions. The visual database synthetically creates the environment including vehicles, airfields, buildings and terrain to provide an accurate simulation. It defines the geometry, graphics, terrain elevation and accuracy of the simulation.

1. Tornado Full Mission Simulator
Project
• The Tornado Full Mission Simulator
reproduces every possible training
scenario from routine emergency
procedures through to combat missions
• The Visual Database is the creation of
the syntetic environment from the
vehicles to the airfield, runway,
buildings, trees and so on. It defines the
geometry and the graphics of the
objects, the elevation of the terrain, the
accuracy of the simulation.
