New Military and Defense Flight Simulations Are Being Built on Microsoft ESP
Throughout last fall's I/ITSEC convention (Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference), one sign in particular became a familiar one... adorning a number of high-tech flight simulation displays -- Microsoft ESP.
The talented team behind Microsoft's longest continuously shipping product, Flight Simulator, has begun offering a new visual simulation development platform for defense, civil aviation and other industries to use in creating immersive training simulations.
Dubbed Microsoft ESP, the platform consists of the underlying PC-based simulation "engine" that powers Flight Simulator, along with development tools and the rich worldwide content that models the entire Earth. Adding to the realism are the high-fidelity 3D visual imagery, a configurable user-adjustable weather system, accurate vector data and geography which can be tailored for custom solutions.
