OpenSkies is Customizable

The OpenSkies Training System's design allows you to customize just about everything according to your needs:

• OpenSkies uses Loadable Simulation Modules
  - Dynamically loaded libraries (DLLs), based on open C++ source code, that describe behavior and appearance of all sim objects. You could join a collaborative environment, or share your contributions with the OpenSkies community.
• OpenGL based model graphics
• Real Aircraft Behavior Models
  - T34 single engine aircraft and TH57 helicopters.
• Realistic cause/effect scenarios
  - OpenSkies supports real military training exercises. You can create your own adventures and even share them with others.
• Real Audio
  - Supports DirectSound and prerecorded ATC. Plane to plane chat is in development.
• Programmable interactions between objects
  - You can implement collisions, damage and even more complex AI interactions over the net between players and vehicles.
• Force Feeback
  - Cool force feedback that you can't ignore from the real flight models. Works on all DirectX compatible devices including I-Force® controllers such as CH Products®, Logitech®, and ThrustMaster® devices as well as Microsoft® force feedback devices.
• Editable Terrain
  - Create your terrain based on USGS data or other terrain formats. Weather cells with wind layers are supported for realistic conditions.
• Communications protocols
  - Supports the military's High Level Architecture (HLA) standard for simulation networking. HLA promotes interoperability between different simulations.
