This research presents the development of a prototype helicopter flight simulator designed to emulate essential helicopter motions for pilot training and entertainment purposes. The system integrates both hardware and software components, including a two-degree-of-freedom mechanical platform controlled by DC motors and a virtual environment modeled using 3ds Max and OpenGL. Joystick inputs are processed via Visual C++ and communicated to an Arduino Mega microcontroller, which regulates platform movement through PID control. The simulator enables vertical takeoff, landing, and directional movement within a virtual replica of the Asian Institute of Technology campus. While the hardware simulates pitch and roll, yaw and other environmental effects are rendered in software. The project successfully demonstrates the feasibility of low-cost flight simulation for basic pilot training and immersive applications.
