DIGINEXT announces that summer version of DIRECTCGF is available. It delivers effective new tools, capabilities and improvements. If you are a customer eligible for upgrades, feel free to ask us for download links. Persons who want a complete description of these new features can contact us at
New features and updates include:
General
- Improved overall stability and performances - New tool to prepare geospatial database - All user interfaces can be localized through an Excel file - Capacity to load a specific configuration through command line - Hardware license support with USB dongle
Models and behaviors
- Improved support for air model and behaviors:
>All air models manage a maximum load factor and a usual one
>Improved route following (accuracy)
>Improved holding pattern (infinite, better entry)
>Improved maneuvers like homing, interception and circle
- More realistic kinematic models for rotary wings and sub-surface
Platform Architect
- The entire platform’s library has been checked and updated in order to reflect more realistic platform
>All platforms are now initialized with a default speed during scenario creation
>All platform are equipped with correct weapons
Scenario Design
- Capability to mark a platform with a unique identifier. This identifier is also used for distribution - Better management of tactical data edition (points, lines, surfaces) - Support of a worldwide database for navigation beacons: ILS, VOR, DME, TACAN, NDB - Capability to edit platform factories in scenario design (requires a Platform Architect license level) - GANTT view now supports:
>More warnings or errors during behavior definitions in order to help users to define scenario more quickly.
>Accurate behavior execution time
- Capability to define relative scenarios
Scenario Player
- The entity kinematic control has been redesigned to offer a better user experience (better scales, display current behaviors) - All tooltips are specialized according to the platform domain. For example, the aircrafts now display their indicated air speed, true air speed, ground speed and vertical speed - New tool to create, destroy and resupply platforms during scenario execution - New tools to measure distance and bearing between platforms - New tools to display a bull-eye on reference point or platform - Interoperability (HLA, DIS) - DIS 2012 Support:
>Last IFF Mode 5 & S PDU (DIS 2012) specifications are managed
- Improved DIS Support:
>Better managed of the dead reckoning
