Developer

The first version of HELI-X is developed by Martin Hermann and Michal Schreiner. It is part of the diploma thesis "Java Framework for Real Time Simulations" by Martin Hermann at the Laboratory for Industrial Mathematics at the University of Applied Science of Technology in Buchs, Switzerland. In the meanwhile, HELI-X is developed by Michael Schreiner.

Many people have contributed to the success of HELI-X. We appreciate kindly the help of:

• Martin Hermann, for his continuous dedication for the develpment of the first version of HELI-X
• Marvin Fröhlich and the whole developer team of Xith3D
• the early beta testers Dr. Andreas Fischer, Mario Holzinger, Thomas Reich, Carsten Wartmann
• Reto Gort and Thomas Reich for the scenes Falknis and Alvier, Gerhard Klauser for 6 scenes of airports between the Lake Constance and Liechtenstein
• Michael Marker - for the creation of the logo and the HELI-X writing
• Silke Kustermann - for the painting of the picture for the splash screen
• Thomas Böseler and Thomas Reich for the green light to use their beautiful pictures for this web page.
• Harald Bendschneider and Klaus Treichler for many scenes.
• Oliver Amann for his support and patience with a sound problem using boot camp (in four weeks, we tested 13 revisions ;-)
• Sebastian Zajonz - that we can use his FMS model to create the HELIX family of helicopters which will be available in the first release.
• Markus Siering for his patience while testing for the solution of a sound problem.
• Jeroen van 't Hert for producing a 64-bit version of the jInput library for Linux.
• Jörg Seyfried prepared the missing libraries for the Mac OS X version of HELI-X. Thank you, Jörg!

I am particlar indepted to Thomas Böseler. He helped in many hours of testing and fruitful discussions to improve the simulation engine of HELI-X. Without his help, the quality of HELI-X would not be so high.
