On December 14, at the 2023 China Game Industry Annual Conference "Game Re-Cognition Forum", Yang Lei, head of the Science and Technology Innovation Department of China Southern Airlines Zhuhai Xiangyi, said that the game engine not only allows pilots to have a more realistic simulation effect in training, but also may usher in greater possibilities in the future.
Shell financial reporters learned on the spot that with the continuous progress of aviation technology, aviation training is also constantly updated and improved. Today's modern aviation training focuses on the use of simulators and virtual reality technology. After the pilot gets the license of the small aircraft, he has to carry out the modification training of the large aircraft on the flight simulator to ensure that the problem of failure is dealt with in the real flight.
Yang Lei said that China Southern Airlines and Tencent established the Tencent Aviation Safety and Research Laboratory of China Southern Airlines in June 2023, and the two sides will jointly explore and solve technical research and development problems in the field of aviation safety. Based on the capabilities of the game engine, the visual system has been jointly released using game technologies such as physically realistic lighting and fumigation.
On the simulator, all the real conditions of flight can be realistically reflected. Including the water ripples on the sea surface and the water ripples of the light. The sights and lighting faced by arriving in different cities at different times of the year even restore various weather, including hail and fog. "In the past, it took a long time for us to make a visual airport urbanization generation tool, but now it only takes three days. It avoids a lot of ineffective work and greatly improves efficiency. ”
As for the future planning and expectations, Yang Lei said that with the continuous innovation of game engines, it will bring more possibilities to the aviation field. "In the future, if virtual reality and augmented reality are integrated, the realism and immersion of the simulation will be further enhanced, and the use of VR and XR technology can further enhance the training of pilots, improve the training scene and better training experience." ”
