Our Solution
With our technology we can:
- Collect information from known environmental factors in the real world and using that information derive variables to represent as true to life in game as possible.
- Change the plankton level of the myriad of oceans around the world according to temperature and season.
- Apply horizon effects that you see in the real world, including weather conditions such as an inversion layer.
- Change the world lighting giving greater depth perception to the water.
- Alter the water clarity and wave height based on realistic conditions
Color the sky according to moisture content.
- Influence ALL ground textures according to lighting conditions.
- Apply entirely new lighting effects as seen in the real world, with the azimuth of the sun being properly represented in the sky.
- Effect sunsets and sunrises due to environmental conditions.
- Model regional air mass qualities and movements, for example during the summer months North East USA suffers from the China pollution haze brought in the trade winds. Over Western Europe, the Azores high air mass moves northwards crossing the ocean and southern Europe bringing dust particles to the shores of England and France.
- Apply texture modifications according to your FSX and graphic card settings, such as for shader 1 and 2. No more generic textures!
- Depict winds accurately inside FSX, including winds aloft and smoothing between stations.
- Increase weather layers to more closely represent real world conditions.
- Smooth visibility from horizon to sky.
- Simulate and represent pollution based on the real world.

The feature list for Flight Environment X is simply huge. A few key features of the product are outlined below:

EASE OF USE
Flight Environment X provides an easy to use interface with many stunning and varied themes using the same principles as Flight Environment for FS9. You can select from the many themes or allow FEX to intelligently select themes for you, varying your experience every time you fly.

- You can literally click and go! With one click you will experience the vast difference our textures make to bring your simulator to life.

- Large selection of realistic themes for water, sky and clouds

- Instant community access to a free library of other users themes

- Surrealistic themes to create amazing screen shots

- Individual themes for weather conditions such as storms and pollution

The range of customisation is enormous, allowing an incredible depth of control, from adjusting the transparency of clouds and the colour of the bottom of clouds, right through to adjusting how the water colour scales in depth. Intuitive tools allow even the novice to be able to achieve stunning results.



Above is an example of our cloud editor. Every time the 'Randomize' button is pressed a new cloud texture will be generated dynamically according to your preferences and shown in the preview window. You have a greater chance of winning the lottery than seeing the same cloud twice - it is nearly impossible.

ENVIRONMENT SIMULATOR

The technology in FEX allows individual adjustment of all texture parameters on the fly. This allows us to integrate fully with our forthcoming Environment Simulator providing weather depiction and other environmental factors to a degree never before seen in a flight simulator.

Once you are using Flight Environment X it will quickly become apparent to you the possibilities we have of influencing the depiction of the environment within FSX. Such as harder cloud edges, darker clouds and high waves for stormy conditions etc.

The Environment Simulator is a massive future project. We will deliver a free upgrade to all customers of FEX to include a light version of the Environment Simulator, which will provide weather depiction comparable to other weather applications. A later full commercial product will then be released taking the concept much further and providing a suite of graphical products which will integrate fully into FEX.

Na das sieht doch mal vielversprechend aus. Frisst aber sicherlich viele FPS!

Burner!

*habenwill*

Kann der auch wie ActiveSky aktuelles Wetter von einem Ort per Internet runterladen und reproduzieren? Wenn nicht, könnt man ja AktiveSky in Verbindung mit FEX nutzen und X Graphics aussen vorlassen?

Das ist in diesem Fall nicht ganz richtig. FSX nutzt für Wolken Texturen mit einer Auflösung von 256x256. FEX verwendet Texturen mit Auflösungen bis zu 1024x1024. Damit geht ein höherer Verarbeitungsaufwand im Grafikchip einher. Auf Systemen, wo die Grafikkarte der Flaschenhals ist, kann daher ein Performanceverlust auftreten.
