Radar Training Simulator

You are at sea when suddenly a bank of fog reduces visibility. No worry: just switch on the radar. But how do you turn the jumble of smudgy images into a clear picture? Even with a good picture, what are all those contacts out there actually doing? Radar can be the most valuable navigational aid on any craft, but only if the crew are experienced in setting it up to produce the best display and then interpreting it correctly.

The LightMaster Radar Trainer uses your PC to provide highly realistic practice in set-up, collision avoidance and coastal navigation within the safety and comfort of your home or office. It is recommended by the RYA and used by the majority of schools teaching the RYA small craft radar courses.
All the set-up controls are fully functional, giving control over brilliance, gain, tuning, sea clutter, and rain clutter. All the common functions found on small craft radar sets are available to help you learn the capabilities and techniques for proper operation.

Rudder and throttle controls allow you to manoeuvre your vessel in response to navigational requirements and collision avoidance. Timescale can be accelerated to try out scenarios quickly. Different exercises can be loaded to set all the conditions of chart area, initial position, course and speed, other traffic, sea state, wind and rain. Additionally a very easy visual programming system allows you to create any scenario you would like to try in seconds, so there are no limits to your learning with this excellent training and practice aid.
Requirements: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 or XP. 3 Mb HDD. SVGA Graphics (800 x 600). Sound Card and speakers (only for alarm sounds).
