B-25 Simulator

“This had never been done, not off a carrier, but with training it could be done.” - Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle

With the help of the team at the National Aviation Museum of World War II, I am currently developing a historically accurate recreation of the Doolittle Raid of 1942. For this project, I created the following systems:

  • C++ middle-ware for interfacing with the JSBSim FDM

  • C++ Event System for live input handling from 35 physical axes measured with potentiometers and Arduino boards

  • 15+ Skeletal Mesh based animations

  • Modeled physics calculations:

    • Calculated the necessary torques for starting engines

    • Calculated proper propeller RPM for animating the angular velocity and pitch of propeller blades
