The Challenge
Transforming the Simulation Experience
The challenge for flight simulation providers goes beyond maintaining market position; it's about innovating and advancing the industry. They seek to upgrade global satellite imagery in flight simulators, not just for enhancement but to transform the experience.
The imagery must be coherent, accurate, vivid, and realistic. Providers need solutions that paint a seamless, immersive world view, enhancing user experience while meeting quality standards.
Additionally, they require data that integrate seamlessly with existing systems, ensuring flexibility for future growth. Compatibility, scalability, and ease of implementation and maintenance are essential.
Customer service is also key. The industry seeks partners who actively engage in their vision, providing ongoing support and attentiveness to specific needs.
The Solution
An Off-the-Shelf Seamless Global Imagery Basemap
PlanetObserver's PlanetSAT has emerged as the ideal solution for the flight simulation industry, providing an off-the-shelf global imagery basemap that perfectly aligns with industry demands. With 10m resolution, seamless visual quality, and true-to-life color depiction, PlanetSAT meets the high standards required for flight training, simulation, and Full Flight Simulators (FFS).
The solution's compatibility with many industry leaders' solutions has not only enhanced the simulated environments but also streamlined integration. The ease of incorporating the PlanetSAT global basemap is facilitated by the availability of data in multiple formats such as GeoTiff, COG (Cloud Optimized GeoTiff), and JPEG200. This flexibility translates to lower integration costs for our clients, making it an attractive choice for providers across the flight simulation spectrum.
