By the way, if too many details are put into the country road map (or full mission simulator) it will become huge in size and not convenient for use. However, due to its complexity this kind of a map (and also a corresponding simulator type) cannot be very precise and go deeply into details. Transferring this example to the marine training world one can say that the country road map is like a full mission simulator – most complex, most comprehensive and covering the full scope of the engine room systems. In order to plan the route not only the road map of Germany will be needed but the city plans of both towns as well (see Figures1 and 2).įigure 1: The analogy between the country road map and full mission simulator. Let’s assume that one wants to travel by car from the hotel in Braunschweig to the Expo 2000 in Hannover (both towns are in Germany). The need for the different simulator type can be very well illustrated, when using the map choice problem as an example. On the other hand, the rapid changes in the engine room equipment and control techniques require a lot of flexibility in the simulator architecture. Higher requirements of a user, provoke the growing complexity of the engine room simulators, their higher cost and longer development time. It is hard to expect that one simulator (even very sophisticated and very realistic one) will be able to fulfil all the above mentioned expectations. What type of the simulator is needed?
