Abstract
The flight simulation system in this project was built on basic idea of porting a huge, complexes flight simulation system that need a large support facility to the simplest level that can be handle by consumer level hardware. The system divides into 3 main parts, modeling, flight dynamic (which is heart of the system), and the visual, each setup in separated station. The Digital DATCOM in the first station (modeling) will calculate the aerodynamic data from the given design geometry, then use those result from Digital DATCOM to assemble the aircraft model configuration file by hand. This model now can be moved to the second station (flight dynamic) where it will be subject to the flight dynamic model, and produce the result in from of 6-DOF force and moment. Those force and moment later will be plot into the visual system and produce visual clue for pilot in the third station.
Station 3 : Visualization
Objective
Figure 1: Basic concept and station layout of the flight simualtion system.
The objectives of this engineering flight simulation are the following - Be able to build the flight simulation system. - Be able to validate the result of the simulation. - Be able to use the valid system to evaluate the particular system of the desire aircraft.

FlightGear is the scalable systems, which means each of its instances can be configure to do certain job for example, one FlightGear instance can be configure to take responsible in Flight dynamic model calculation, while another instance is responsible for displaying the environment. The key concept of configure multi-instance is that use loopback IP-address which will allow computer to ping back to itself to simulate the network transfer data inside one computer. and the network IP-address for seconadry computer. So, for the main instance that will receive input and calculate flight dynamic of aircraft, these two parameter have to be add before run the instance, with this little modification when running the program.

Figure 2(top), 3(middle), and 4(buttom): show the case using to test our result from flight simulation system base on NASA test model of jumbo 747 classic data. the top figure show the configuration of the system, the middle is the result from mathematical modle derived by NASA and the buttom figure is our result produce form simulation. we can see the similarities in the result. along with 2 other case we conclude that the result from this flight simulation system is acceptable.

if we change the IP-address in this command then the multi-computer parallel calculation can be achieved.
