"Tencent Flight Simulation" released: self-developed CROS engine for civil aviation pilot training

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Lakedog and Xiao Zhanche for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com May 15 news, in today's evening's SPARK 2023 Tencent Games press conference, Tencent officially announced a flight simulation application called "full-motion flight simulator visual system".

According to reports, the system is built by Tencent Games CROS self-research engine, and claims to have 3A-level rendering effects and cross-platform capabilities, focusing on large-scale rendering, realistic visual effects and digital content generation online and offline. It is also claimed to be the first domestic fully self-developed "full-motion flight simulator visual system" jointly created by Tencent Games and China Southern Airlines.

The system claims to simulate and reconstruct a high-precision super-large map of every mountain, every road and every building according to the WGS84 coordinate system, and introduces the earth-level digital asset rendering capability, as well as PBR material rendering technology, to simulate hyperrealistic world scene images for civil aviation pilots, making civil aviation flight training more efficient and safer.

In order to further improve efficiency, the two sides also automated the asset production process and PCG programmed content generation technology accumulated by the game industry for the first time in the civil aviation field.

Tencent said that it only takes half a day to complete the reconstruction of 1000 square kilometers of urban assets, including fine landscapes of airports, runways and other airport areas, as well as 150000 buildings and 250000 roof objects, as well as roads, mountains and rivers.

Tencent's "full-motion flight simulator visual system" will be officially released in June 2023, and CTOnews.com partners can look forward to the realistic results after launch.
