Version 5.0 - Industry-Leading Operating System Flexibility & Productivity

Windows 7 64 bit Support

The addition of support for 64-bit Windows® 7 with the VC9 compiler, in addition to existing support of Windows 7 32-bit VC9,  Windows XP Pro 32-bit VC9, and Linux 64-bit, makes this release one of the most flexible and adaptable tools for development of accurate, correlated sensor applications available on the market today.   With support for this 64-bit platform users benefit from additional flexibility in their choice of hardware while also being able to utilize more memory for improved application performance.

CDB Support for Linux

Sensor Products 5.0 also offers support for CDB on the Linux operating system in addition to Microsoft Windows.   Users can leverage the latest in technology and standards through application development in CDB which can result in dramatic improvements in the maintainability and reusability of content across sensor, and other visualization applications.

More Realism in Sensor Displays

SpeedGrass Support on OpenFlight Databases

Support for dynamic trees and grass effects significantly increases the realism in the scene for ground-level applications. In version 5.0, these effects are supported in both the Out-The-Window, IR, and NVG views to greatly enhance realism of displays.

Version 4.1 - New Features & Enhancements

CDB Sensor Support

Sensor Products now provides the loading, paging, and rendering of the sensor (IR and NVG) scene content in CDB format as a core capability. CDB dramatically improves the maintainability and reusability of content by providing a means to use source data directly in many applications without modification to the database itself.

CDB Marine Support

Sensor Products now provide support for CDB content of the Vega Prime Marine module to provide a high performance native wave model that allows for the control of sea state, including distributions of direction, height, wavelength, and alignment with the wind.

Support for Windows 7 32-bit VC9

Vega Prime now supports the ability to operate on Windows 7 OS platforms.

Worldwide Database Sensor Data DVD

Sensor Product customers will also receive a Worldwide Database Sensor Data DVD, which provides additional sensor information to the previously released Presagis Worldwide database. For more information about the WWDB, click here.

Version 4.0 - New Features & Enhancements

New features have been developed to provide improved realism, training value, and usability, including:

Rotor Effects

Provides the ability to easily create, define, and render helicopter-based special effects. Users can quickly and easily define and represent blade, rotor wash, and rotor dust effects.

Dynamic Shadows Enhancements

This capability provides the ability to include dynamic shadows in the scene based on either the celestial bodies (sun/moon) or a user-defined light source. The ability to define shadows based on a user-defined light source gives increased control and flexibility to the types of applications that can benefit from the use of dynamic shadows.

Version 3.0 - New Features & Enhancements

Dynamic Shadows

Create dynamic shadows in the scene based on the celestial bodies (sun/moon).
This capability provides dynamic self shadowing of entities and objects, terrain shadowing of objects/entities, object/entity shadowing of terrain and other objects/entities.
These dynamic shadows are supported in the OTW, NVG, and IR wavelengths.
Dynamic shadows provide increased realism and training value.

VC9 (2008) Support

Support for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (aka VC9) compiler is now included with Vega Prime and the Sensor toolkit Products.

NVG Horizon Glow

To increase realism and scene aesthetics, Sensors provide the ability to represent the ‘City Glow' effect seen on the horizon in NVG caused by the large amount of cultural lighting in urban areas. This effect is represented by a large area of light or a glow across the horizon.
