SWS Live Scenery launches!
A new era of detailed scenery is coming to P3Dv4!
Debuting with WSSS Singapore for Prepar3Dv4, SWS Live Scenery brings a new level of detail to animated scenery for P3Dv4 –for free!
Live Scenery has been in active development since April 2018, with the intention of providing ImagineSim with a tool that allowed them to easily add animated objects to their scenery. The result of that long process is SWS Live Scenery, a technology that does just that for the developer, but more for the user –for free!
The possibilities are endless: from people walking on the sidewalks to baggage trains snaking on the aprons and flags flapping in the wind, add-ons making use of Live Scenery will reach a new detail standard. Using ImagineSim’s WSSS as a demo, here are some features that can be expected:
- Vehicles realistically moving along roads: baggage trains move naturally, cars realistically decelerate when braking.
- Detailed animations: Drivers can be seen steering their vehicles, brake lights come on when decelerating and vehicles turn on their lights at night, just like in real life!
- People walk around the airport premises, while others idly wait for their shift to end
SWS will provide an assortment of demo objects such as flags and windsocks that follow the wind direction and react to wind speed changes, objects appearing based on time-of-day, weather conditions or season. That, of course, is only the tip of the iceberg of what can be achieved and there will be more coming soon!
Live Scenery will be available to end-users for free on March 29th 2019 from our website!
A version aimed at scenery developers will be made available in a few weeks.
