Presagis will formally launch the latest version of its premier modelling and simulation software suite, M&S Suite 14, on booth 1920 at I/ITSEC 2014 in Orlando on December 1.
Taking a full year to develop, M&S 14 is a mjor upgrade to the product line, with hundreds of product enhancements enabling systems integrators and manufacturers to add game-quality 3D content (the Holy Grail of many training application developers) to existing simulation solutions at a fraction of the cost required to date – not least by obviating the need for large art teams, which also reduces lead times for scenario development and generation.
Individual components of the suite feature a wide variety of enhancements and upgrades:
''With M&S Suite 14, system integrators and manufacturers will benefit from important gains in visual fidelity and can reduce development risks and costs by using platforms that have been field-proven by customers for over 25 years,'' said Stephane Blondin, Presagis Head of Product Management and Marketing. M&S Suite 14 provides an open-standard simulation development framework designed to support a full range of simulation applications across the air, land, sea and public safety market segments.

Individual components of the suite feature a wide variety of enhancements and upgrades:
- Creator 14 (simulation-ready 3D modelling) adds new lighting and surface effects, model fracturing, and physics simulation tools that allow content creators to easily define damage states and rapidly optimize simulation models.
- Terra Vista 14, now a 64-bit application supporting very large-area correlated terrain databases, adds integrated material classification tools to streamline the generation of sensor-ready databases.
- STAGE 14 now allows users to dynamically add cultural features such as trenches, fences, barbed wire, and concrete blocks to simulations, delivering highly realistic results without the need for frequent database regeneration.
- New additions to HeliSIM 14, including support for up to eight rotor platforms, make it ideal for UAV/UAS simulation.
- Vega Prime 14 now offers striking, high-quality visuals through features such as Normal and Light Maps, non-uniform terrain shading, Ambient Occlusion, Narrow FOV (field of view) support and much more – at a new, lower price point that makes it affordable for all budgets.
