Simulation toward operational readiness From 28th November to 2nd December, the annual Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) was held in Florida to facilitate exchange around modelling and simulation in support of training and education. Its motto, “Accelerate Change by Transforming Training” – ACTT!In today’s training and simulation (T&S) ecosystem, semi or fully immersive virtual environments are leveraged to deliver efficient training and speed up operational readiness, yet with lower costs, delays and risks than traditional training. Toward increasingly realistic simulators In order to improve the learning speed and retention time, these simulators become more realistic every year, immersing…

With a few months to go before the release of the next version of Inscape VTS, which will leverage Unreal Engine for the very first time, the main developers share their thoughts on this major project. Mathieu Ruffat (product architect), Fabrice Tomasi (real-time 3D expert) and Christophe Claustre (Unreal Engine lead programmer) look back on the work that has been done and tell us what to expect over the near and medium term. What were your main expectations in integrating Unreal Engine? Fabrice Tomasi (FT): The first thing we were looking to do was to modernise the graphic quality of…
