CAE Launches Prodigy To Civil Aviation Market

First FFS To Incorporate Gaming Tech For Visuals

CAE announced it has begun delivery of its full-flight simulators (FFS) equipped with the ultra-realistic 3D visual system using gaming technology, the CAE Prodigy Image Generator.

As of now, the CAE Prodigy is available on new FFS for all commercial and business aircraft models andis also available as an upgrade on FFS already in service. The image generator provides an immersive and ultra-realistic pilot training experience.

With the release of Prodigy, CAE becomes the first simulation and training organization to integrate a gaming engine into its visual system and gain Level D qualification from Transport Canada, the highest level of qualification available for an FFS. To do this, CAE adapted Epic Games’ Unreal Engine to build a high-end image generator.

Emmanuel Levitte, Chief Technology and Product Officer for CAE said, “CAE Prodigy elevates training standards with photorealistic renderings, enhanced moving models, resulting in a more immersive environment. It improves visual simulation fidelity, making training not only more realistic but also more effective.

“CAE Prodigy supports a range of projection technologies, ensuring flexibility and scalability across different training devices, making it a game changer in the industry. This impressive innovation required a unique mix of domain expertise and game engine knowhow, which is why we leveraged the game development expertise of Montreal-based game studio Behaviour Interactive for this project.”
