UK Army using X-Plane?

[MrBitstFlyer 3,882]

This Youtube video sure has clips that look like X-Plane. If not it goes to show just how much realism we have in XP12!

This doesn't look like X-Plane TBH.. probably P3D.. It's hard to tell

It's CAE sim.

Similar in what detail?????

More about it in here: £183-million boost for military helicopter training - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

and here: Home - Ascent Flight Training : Ascent Flight Training

and I believe I was wrong because it appears not to be the CAE H145 / EC145 and BK117, but rather, these ASCENT solutions with Lockheed Martin and AIRBUS behind it.

Wouldn't be surprised. They do have a lot of government contracts.

Why the rudeness in your reply?

If you watched the video I linked to, the general views looked similar to XP12 to me - someone else thought P3D.  I also gave a view that if it wasn't XP12, it is amazing the realism we get to see in a desktop sim.

I can't imagine you thought I was refering to the hardware itself or any other screen/displays.

I don't think the visuais are from p3d either... LM has other type of contributions to professional/ military sim solutions...

I think maybe you were mistaking real world footage for sim footage?

The few glimpses of an actual sim I saw (right near the end) looked very FSX era.

These simulator visuals remind me of the "Enemy Engaged" helisims. So mid-2000s detail level at best.

Even if it's XP visually, it doesn't means it's the same as your home grow XP, it could well be just a shell that their actual simulator only tell where and what attitude to put the aircraft at in realtime.

looks like the older CAE Tropos visual generator. The newest one I think they use commercially now is the Prodigy.
