Simulation Weekly News

⊲ Last Week’s Sim News Summary ⊳ 
We saw major investments in professional development, including Ryanair’s new €130 million aviation training hub near Kraków Airport, designed to train up to 500 aviation professionals daily.
On the cutting edge, the U.S. Air Force is embracing mixed-reality air traffic control training that uses biometric data (like stress and eye movement) to adjust training difficulty in real time, aiming to speed up readiness and address staffing shortages.
Military vehicle training is also stepping up, utilizing embedded systems and AI-driven data tools to boost armoured vehicle crew skills, responding to threats demonstrated by the Ukraine conflict.
On the innovation front, AI is learning new senses with a framework called “Multigen” which can sharpen robot skills by integrating simulated sound into training environments, significantly improving real-world performance for tasks requiring audio feedback.
AI systems are proving capable elsewhere with virtual tests showed Germany’s new AI-guided CA-1 “Europa” unmanned fighter jet outperforming human pilots.
Finally, simulation is becoming universally accessible: GeoFS, a free, browser-based flight simulator using global satellite imagery, is now available across multiple platforms and even ticket buying is getting immersive, with 3D seat views enhancing confidence before purchasing tickets for venues like London’s Wembley Stadium.
