A model for simulation of flight in a vortex wake was developed. The model was demonstrated in desktop and in real time simulations with pilot and active flight control system. The model wake consists of two vortices. The induced computed aero database is superimposed on top the ordinary for simulations. The paper describes the model and shows some results.
