that runway top right though.... looks like a motorcross track 🤣

Never thought I'd ever have to apologize to Reshade, but here we are.

Also "...even though the network had only been trained on synthetic images, it performed surprisingly well on real images." Well done XP.

proof of concept. if their software can deal with such an awful terrain mesh, it has passed the test. 😊

autonomous landings have been researched and demonstrated elsewhere, nothing x-plane specific nor x-clusive.

"Optionally piloted system (OPS)

Elektra One Solar OPS is equipped with autopilot system. The pilot can switch to the autopilot mode and can fly a mission completely autonomously including take-off and landing. The flight mission can be defined by means of a special software before the flight and changed or adapted during the flight from the cockpit or from the ground control station. Elektra One Solar OPS can be delivered for operation without pilot in the cockpit."

No doubt. I don't see any info on what was used to build the Elektra system though. Do you have any other links with that detail?

The Airbus project was/is using an AI model. XP's visual representation of the approaching runway as well as aircraft motion relative to the runway was accurate enough that little had to be done when they fed that trained AI model with IRL camera data.

Did anyone claim that? See?

Not without an ILS they haven't.
