Systems and methods for remotely operated machine training
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for training a user to control one or more simulated remotely operated machines. A network stream definition language file is used to identify and process simulated remotely operated machine data exchanged between a simulation computing device and a plurality of simulation stations, possibly being defined by many different Interface Control Documents (ICDs). Any exchange of simulated remotely operated machine data between the simulation computing device and a simulation station passes through a protocol gateway that implements the network stream definition language file. The protocol gateway is located at any point of the communication between the simulation computing device and the simulation station. Because the network stream definition language file configures the protocol gateway to process data between the simulation computing device and the plurality of simulation stations, each potentially having respective proprietary ICDs, only a single protocol gateway is necessary within the system.

VISUALIZING SUB-SYSTEMS OF A VIRTUAL SIMULATED ELEMENT IN AN INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SIMULATION SYSTEM
Method and system for visualizing dynamic virtual sub-systems of a virtual simulated element in an interactive computer simulation system comprising a computer generated environment. One or more tangible instruments control the virtual simulated element in the computer generated environment. A graphical user interface comprising an interactive display portion depicting a rendered view of the virtual simulated element. While an interactive computer simulation of the virtual simulated element is performed in the interactive computer simulation system, a storage system logs dynamic data in relation to the dynamic virtual sub-systems. At least one of the dynamic virtual sub-systems of the virtual simulated element is selected and a subset of dynamic data related to the selected virtual sub-system is loaded from the storage system. The selected virtual sub-system is displayed together with the related dynamic data on the graphical user interface.

Heat rendering in an interactive computer simulation system
Method(s) and interactive simulation station(s) for improved heat modeling and rendering in an interactive computer simulation system. Considering inputs received on tangible instruments, a view point is defined for displaying heat-enhanced images. A non-static 3D mesh defines temperature-influenced virtual point(s) and comprises a base-texture and a heat-map texture. Rendering the 3D mesh is performed from the view point by 1) applying base imagery data of the base-texture over surfaces of the 3D mesh from base-texture coordinates (mapping the base imagery data on the 3D mesh); 2) from the heat-map texture, and for each temperature-influenced virtual point(s), loading a heat-propagation pattern from heat-map coordinates, shared with the base-texture coordinates, that selectively map the heat-propagation pattern on the 3D mesh; and 3) computing a heat-related intensity variation on the visible surface(s) from the heat-propagation pattern of each temperature-influenced virtual point(s).
A method for determining an attenuation of a wind caused by a simulated obstacle and experienced by a simulated vehicle in a simulation, comprising: receiving a wind direction and an initial speed for a simulated wind; generating a line of sight vector having a source position, a given direction and a given length, the given direction being one of opposite to the wind direction and identical to the wind direction; determining a distance between the simulated obstacle and the simulated vehicle using the line of sight vector, the distance being at most equal to the given length of the line of sight vector; determining a wind attenuation gain using the distance between the simulated obstacle and the simulated vehicle; determining an actual speed for the simulated wind using the initial speed of the simulated wind and the gain for the wind attenuation; and outputting the actual speed.

ASSESSING A TRAINING ACTIVITY PERFORMED BY A USER IN AN INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SIMULATION
An interactive computer-based training system, station and method for assessing a training activity performed by a user interacting with tangible instruments for controlling the virtual element in an interactive computer simulation. A processor module obtains a plurality of performance metric datasets related to the virtual element and obtains a plurality of expected maneuvers of the virtual element during the training activity. The processor module computes the plurality of performance metric datasets to identify actual maneuvers of the virtual element during the training activity, identifies one or more failed actual maneuvers of the virtual element during the training activity against corresponding ones of the expected maneuvers and performs computational regression on the actual maneuvers of the virtual element compared to the expected maneuvers of the virtual element to identify one or more root causes of the failed actual maneuvers.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLABLY ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE OF A TRAINING AREA OF AN INTERACTIVE TRAINING SIMULATOR
It is disclosed a method and system for controllably adjusting temperature of a training area of an interactive training simulator performing an interactive computer simulation. The interactive training simulator, such as a flight simulator, is associated with a non- simulated area (NSA) housing electronic components used for performing the simulation. The heat generated in the NSA is transferred to the training area, or cockpit, hence eliminating the need for a heating system. Hence, the controlled recirculation of the hot air into the non- simulated area (NSA) improves efficiency of the interactive training simulator and reduces energy consumption. The system also maintains air quality inside the training area by continuously monitoring non- temperature related parameters such as humidity, or gas, volatile organic compounds (VOC) or particle concentrations. The system and method disclosed herewith are eco- friendly in that they allow reducing the amount of electricity for operating the interactive training simulator, and as such reducing the amount of CO2.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOTELY OPERATED MACHINE TRAINING
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for training a user to control one or more simulated remotely operated machines. A network stream definition language file is used to identify and process simulated remotely operated machine data exchanged between a simulation computing device and a plurality of simulation stations, possibly being defined by many different Interface Control Documents (ICD5). Any exchange of simulated remotely operated machine data between the simulation computing device and a simulation station passes through a protocol gateway that implements the network stream definition language file. The protocol gateway is located at any point of the communication between the simulation computing device and the simulation station. Because the network stream definition language file configures the protocol gateway to process data between the simulation computing device and the plurality of simulation stations, each potentially having respective proprietary lCDs, only a single protocol gateway is necessary within the system.
