ORLANDO, FL, July 3, 2003 - Distributed Simulation Technology, Inc. [DiSTI] a leading provider of software tools and components for the development of advanced visual and simulation applications, today announced that Aero Simulation, Inc has selected GL Studio to create the cockpit panels of the HH-60J and HH-65B rotary wing aircraft for the US Coast Guard. DiSTI’s professional services will develop the HH-60J cockpit panels in concert with ASI’s development team developing the HH-65B panels.
“The photo-realistic approach offered by GL Studio will give the pilots a valuable training device for a fraction of the cost of the existing trainers. “ said Mike McCarthy, Vice President of Aero Simulation, Inc.
Design, development, manufacture and test of the RCPT will be performed at ASI’s Tampa, Florida facility. The design features large, touch screen liquid crystal displays and the same type of high fidelity simulation of the aircraft normally only found on the highest levels of motion-based simulators.
