FlightSafety International (FSI) is expanding simulator fidelity by introducing a next-generation Vital visual system powered by the Unreal Engine 3D creation tool. The result is an “extremely photorealistic simulation and rendering, allowing training for the latest immersion content and technology,” according to the aviation simulation training provider.

This includes realistic recreation of details such as land, water, and peripheral features, in addition to what a pilot sees in the air. Weather and precipitation renderings are also “dramatically enhanced, giving pilots the most realistic experience for potentially difficult scenarios,” FSI said.
