ORLANDO, Fla., May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Pilots,
instructors, and enthusiasts can dive into immersive training as
Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) released Prepar3D® v4.
Prepar3D (pronounced "Prepared") is Lockheed Martin's flagship
simulation and training software solution that offers the most
versatile, immersive and engaging training experiences for the next
generation.
"Training meets reality with Lockheed Martin's
Prepar3D® simulation software, and v4 provides
unprecedented realism," said Sandy
Samuel, vice president, Training and Simulation Solutions.
"While initially the premier tool for training both commercial and
military aviators, Prepar3D has grown to drive simulation for
almost any vehicle in the air, at sea, underwater or even in the
depths of space."
Prepar3D v4 relies on 64-bit architecture to deliver
unparalleled realism. This new version features major visual
upgrades including enhanced virtual reality support, a new
realistic lighting system, 3D weather capabilities, 40 high-detail
cities and more than 24,900 airports across the globe. The
new release also features improvements to performance and a fully
redesigned user interface.
"We are thrilled for Prepar3D v4 to be fully converted to 64-bit
so users can take advantage of the full power of modern systems,"
says Adam Breed Prepar3D engineering
project manager. "This release pushes the boundaries of what's
possible in courseware training and experiences, including vast
improvements to performance, graphical fidelity, and the number of
entities that can be concurrently simulated in global-scale
scenarios."
Prepar3D v4 provides tools to simplify the process of creating
courseware for self-paced training environments and instructor-led
classrooms. The Lockheed Martin team partnered with both
commercial and internal users to help redesign its Software
Development Kit (SDK), which enables third-party development of
custom add-ons, from the ground up.
