Broad User Configurability

FlightIG can be configured for a wide variety of hardware configurations and software features without recompilation using Vega's graphical user interface, LynX. This offers the prime contractor or end user considerable flexibility in tailoring or adapting the system without requiring MultiGen-Paradigm engineers on site.

Hardware configuration		The number of pipes can be defined, and processes (IRIX, visual application, intersections, database paging, light points, cull, and draw) can be allocated to CPUs.
Channel configuration		Channels can be specified in number, field of view, near and far plane distances, and assigned to graphics pipelines.
Environments		Named environments (e.g., "Dawn", "Dusk") can be defined or modified. This is especially convenient for tuning the appearance of environments in the display system. Named environments are then invoked via the host interface.
Light system tuning		Light points can be defined, modified, and tuned for correct appearance on the display system.
Special effects		Special effects can be defined, modified, and tuned.
Marine effects		Marine special effects can be enabled or disabled. Effects can be defined and tuned.
Distortion correction		Distortion correction can be enabled or disabled. The user can specify the dome shape and parameters, the number, type, position, and orientation of projectors and the channels assigned to each, and the eyepoint position in the dome. Distortion correction is performed dynamically at the frame rate.
