NEWVISION / COCKPIT SYSTEM
F/A‑18 COCKPIT
A complete cockpit simulation environment combining physical structure, controls, electronics and simulator integration into one coordinated system.
NewVision Digital designs and manufactures the cockpit around the requirements of the simulator, connecting the physical environment with the electronics, software and visual systems behind it.
SYSTEM APPROACH
DEVELOPED AS ONE COMPLETE ENVIRONMENT
The F-18 cockpit is developed as part of the complete simulator architecture.
Mechanical structure, controls, electronics, I/O and software interfaces are considered together from the beginning so that the cockpit can be integrated naturally with the simulation platform.
- Cockpit structure and geometry
- Integrated controls and interfaces
- Cockpit panels and switches
- Electronics and I/O
- Simulator software integration
- Configurable visual systems
- XR / Mixed Reality compatibility
PHYSICAL COCKPIT
WHERE THE SIMULATION BECOMES PHYSICAL
The physical cockpit is where the user interacts with the simulation.
NewVision Digital designs and manufactures the cockpit structure, panels, controls and mechanical assemblies required for the simulator.
The layout is developed around the physical interaction between the pilot and the system, while allowing the cockpit hardware to be integrated with the electronics and software behind it.
CONTROLS & INTERFACES
EVERY INPUT HAS TO CONNECT
A physical simulator depends on the connection between the user’s actions and the digital system.
The cockpit can incorporate the required flight controls, switches, buttons and other interfaces, together with the electronics needed to translate those inputs into the simulation environment.
This connection between mechanical and electronic design is a central part of the system.
ELECTRONICS & I/O
THE LAYER BEHIND THE COCKPIT
Behind the panels and controls is the electronic architecture that allows the cockpit to communicate with the simulator.
NewVision Digital develops and integrates the controllers, I/O systems and electronic interfaces required to connect the physical cockpit with the simulation software.
The result is a system in which physical actions and simulator responses are coordinated as part of one architecture.
SOFTWARE INTEGRATION
CONNECTING HARDWARE TO THE SIMULATION
The cockpit hardware must operate together with the simulation platform.
NewVision Digital integrates the cockpit electronics and interfaces with the required simulator software, enabling control inputs and system states to move between the physical and digital environments.
Where required, additional external systems and visual platforms can be integrated into the same architecture.
XR / MIXED REALITY
REAL COCKPIT VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
The F-18 cockpit can be integrated with XR and Mixed Reality technologies.
This allows the user to retain the physical cockpit, controls and interaction points while the environment outside the cockpit is generated virtually.
The approach combines real physical interaction with the flexibility of an immersive visual environment.
VISUAL SYSTEMS
BUILT AROUND THE COCKPIT
The visual system is part of the simulator, not an afterthought.
Depending on the project, the F-18 cockpit can be integrated with immersive displays, curved-screen systems or XR-based environments.
NewVision Digital develops the visual-system configuration around the cockpit, available space and overall simulation requirements.
MODULAR INTEGRATION
ADAPTED TO THE INSTALLATION
Not every simulator is installed in the same environment.
Facility size, existing systems, visual requirements, software platforms and project objectives can all affect the final configuration.
The F-18 cockpit can therefore be adapted around the installation rather than being limited to one fixed system layout.
ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING
ONE TEAM FROM DESIGN TO INTEGRATION
NewVision Digital carries out mechanical design, manufacturing, electronics and system integration as part of one multidisciplinary process.
This allows the different parts of the simulator to be developed together and makes it easier to adapt the system as project requirements evolve.
It also supports future maintenance, modification and upgrade work.
