Vehicle Simulator was created by Ilan Papini first version released in March 2009.

Vehicle Simulator is based upon two older programs developed by Ilan - Micro Flight and Virtual Sailor,
the first was a full fledged flight simulator and the second being a full fledged marine simulator.

During the years of their existence the power of the personal computer and 3D graphics increased so much that it became possible to combine the best of both worlds into one program containing :

• Excellent first person ground level graphics.
• Excellent naval environment both above and below water.
• Excellent atmospheric simulation up to space.
• Excellent vehicle simulation for land, naval and flying vehicles.

Vehicle Simulator is a complete rewrite and complete conceptual redesign based upon the two programs above, resulting in a much denser scenery than before, excellent physical simulation, and scalable design allowing it to grow and contain more types of vehicles and objects.

The greatest benefit of all is offering a single platform for content development for both types of applications, allowing flight simulation to happen over the same scenery as naval simulations, and for planes to land on vehicles and more.

Vehicle Simulator includes an intuitive and simple scenery design inside the 3D environment, making it much simpler for users to create and share content than before.

The program uses fully documented formats for creating scenery, vehicles and animals, users are encouraged to get a hands on experience designing and making add-ons and to share them with others.

Advanced add-ons can be created using DLLs for instrument panels, animals and scenery objects, source code for such DLLs is given as part of the program to encourage advanced users to develop high quality content for the program.

Documentation and tools for designing scenery, vehicles and animals can be found on this website.
