DIGINEXT is proud to announce the release of VirtualGeo 8.0 with new features and improvements.
VirtualGeo supports the miliray symbology APP6 since version 6.0, and continuously improve its support, adding APP6-C support and some new tactical symbols.
Recently, the APP6 support of VirtualGeo has been used in a wargame at "Ecole de guerre-Terre" in France, see here for more information : Post (in french!). It is a nice example of using VirtualGeo to build ergnomic and business oriented cartographic application.
Integrated into Crimson software, VirtualGeo power the representation of the situation, and gives to user ergonomic tool to interactivly manipulate and create symbols on a custom map.
All these functions (APP6 symbology, creation and editor tools) are integrated in the SDK, and can be added easily in your applications!
For the 8.0 coming soon, VirtualGeo now supports officially the OGC CDB standard which allows high level of realism of a 3D environment, mainly used in the military simulation domain.
The CDB standard defines an open format for the storage, access and modification of a synthetic environment database. A CDB synthetic environment is a representation of the natural environment including external features such as man-made structures and systems. A CDB data store can include terrain relief, terrain imagery, three-dimensional (3D) models of natural and man-made cultural features, 3D models of dynamic vehicles, the ocean surface, and the ocean bottom, including features (bothnatural and man-made) on the ocean floor. In addition, the data store can includes the specific attributes of the synthetic environment data as well as their relationships.
Related to CDB support, OpenFlight import has been greatly improved both in terms of support and in terms of performance
More information on this format and on new features associated to CDB format will come before the 8.0 release!
DIGINEXT is proud to announce the release of VirtualGeo 7.0 with new features and improvements.
DIGINEXT has delivered to EUROCONTROL its VirtualGeo solution to produce high-quality video for air traffic animation. Through the projet, VirtualGeo has been enhanced to support specific air traffic formats used internally at EUROCONTROL, and also to add some special effects to display air traffic animation. Now EUROCONTROL is able to display in real-time the air traffic on a busy day (more than 30 000 paths) with high quality graphical effects.
