In my research I have constructed a pc-based flight simulator using XTAR hardware. We are thinking of expanding this system, and other researchers I know are also considering purchasing this system. However I just heard about potential problems/complications that might be in the offing due to some problems between XTAR and SubLogic - who I am told have supplied the boards to XTAR for their products. Does anybody know anything about this? I have also been told that the TI 34020 (?) graphics board, together with the TIGA software interface, is a cheaper and better way to go. Does anyone have some further information and comments about this? I and other researchers do not want to go charging off into a deadend hardware architecture.
