Design and development of 3D scenery: a tailor-made solution for
operational training

The introduction of technology for creating simulation scenery and the development of internal skills have allowed ENAV Academy to improve its ability
to respond to operational training needs in terms of speed and accuracy of simulation scenerios.
The process for creating a scenerio starts with the identification of needs and technical specifications that the simulation environment must satisfy. It is
of particular importance to obtain panoramic photographs from the control tower point of view and airport layout plans.
Parallel to the process of creating visuals, the exercises are designed in terms of the air traffic to control and dynamics of the simulation that will be
involved in every phase of the training.
The 3D modelling team adds the livery to aircraft to accurately replicate the air traffic that characterises a specific airport.
The scenarios produced by the ENAV Academy team are extremely accurate. The feedback from trainees once they reach their tower operational units
indicates the designed visuals are very realistic.

Presagis Creator

The software used to develop the visual database is Presagis Creator. The 3D geometry model file format is OpenFlight, which is a standard format for
any type of visual for ground or air side objects which can also be found in most flight simulators. This makes it possible to develop scenarios for every
type of use and allowing for possible conversion of scenarios from one system to another.
