Simulation. It's just not the same as being there - or is it? That's what the Israeli Air Force (IAF) is attempting to find out as it constructs its F-161 Flight and System Trainer. To create virtual terrain for the simulated exercises, the trainer utilizes technology provided by Presagis, including the Lyra image generator, Creator Terrain Studio, Creator Pro, and Creator Virtual Texture Studio. "Accurate and detailed content is vital to the development of realistic, immersive simulations," says Robert Kopersiewich, Vice President of Product Management at Presagis. The Flight and System trainer will focus on night vision goggle simulations and surface-to-air and air-to-surface weapons delivery training.
