This paper presents the Flight Instruments and Flight Visualization Libraries developed within the DLR Institute of System Dynamics and Control. For the design of dynamic models and control systems, a visual evaluation of the dynamic simulation is indispensable for a successful design and test process. Especially when it comes to aircraft models, an overview of the overall dynamics is needed. Therefore, the presented libraries provide fast assembly of fully configurable and generic flight visualization tools in which the view positions as well as the setup of Primary Flight Displays can be chosen freely. This provides the visual components of a rapid prototyping environment which can be used in the development of flight dynamic models and flight control laws. Moreover, the camera views and displays can easily be reconfigured for each purpose and research focus area. Furthermore, the libraries can be used for desktop simulation, motion simulator experiments as well as flight testing on a real aircraft.
