Latest Sim Technology Offers Realistic Worldwide Coverage
Frasca's newest version of its visual system, TruVision Global,
will be on display in the Frasca booth (#3940) at I/ITSEC, which
will be held November 26-29 in Orlando, FL.
Frasca tells ANN its TruVision visual system is now even more
impressive with the introduction of TruVision Global. Long
recognized for its realistic imagery in the airport area, Frasca's
latest version includes worldwide coverage at a base map level.
This base map includes over 10,000 runways, coastlines,
representative terrain, rivers, roads, and more.
The base map feature will allow the pilot to fly anywhere in the
world and view representative terrain and runways in each area.
Other new features of TruVision Global are variable time of day,
sun/moon/star models, wave or sea state simulation, improved urban
lighting, moving automobile lights at night, improved entity
support, and automatic building generation.
TruVision Global allows for high detail areas to be added as
needed. Satellite or aerial imagery can be added and will
automatically integrate with the base map features. High detail
airports also are available. Compatibility with digital vector data
allows entire cities of roads and buildings to be represented.
Adding data is a drag an drop process that does not require a
lengthy database rebuild.
"We are excited about the new capabilities that Frasca's
customers will be getting," said Frasca VP John Frasca.
The first delivery of TruVision Global will be on an EC135 FTD
delivered to the Finnish Aviation Academy in Pori Finland. This
system includes the world wide base map with a high detail inset of
southern Finland. The high detail area includes an area of 350 by
250 miles. This area includes over 275,000 buildings and 27,000
miles of roads.
Thirteen mission specific areas include hospitals, accident
scenes and airports. These specific areas are modeled so as to be
highly recognizable in comparison to the real world -- and it all
runs at 60 Hz, according to Frasca.
A key enabling technology of TruVision Global is software from
Diamond Visionics of Vestal, NY. Integrating Diamond’s
GenesisRTTM Technology into Frasca’s TruVision Image
Generator product line makes a truly dramatic visual system.
"We view this partnership as a significant validation by Frasca
of our technology, our product, our support, and our people and we
look forward to a long term relationship," said Diamond Visionics
President David Gdovin.
