Personally I think they should stick to real engines when building jets, but I'm not a pilot, so I dunno.

I mean, it does make sense to offload some of the work for their simulator to a company that does that stuff professionally.

That’s actually pretty significant. Having the unreal engine incorporate all the physical displays and inputs that a fighter cockpit has seems huge to me.

If anybody says that headline isnt onion, go fix your stamp collection.

Dude, have you seen the new ones though? Its UNREAL!

“Fuck, did you know you can just download an engine online!?”

Ah yes, developed by Epic Games, which is 40% owned by Chinese company Tencent.

What could possibly go wrong?

Ace Combat 8

How much imaginary power does an unreal engine require?

At least 3-4

Oniony headline, normal story about simulations being good in unreal engine. (is ARMA 3 unreal engine? It's been used in place of Ukraine war footage by some news stations.)

I mean, if imaginary numbers have taught me anything it's that one i is always the answer.

I worked on similar simulations 15 years ago at the university level on a military grant. Glad to see the tech is being leveraged at a higher level. You guys wouldn't believe what we were able to create. Training. Convoy. Active combat UI interfaces, shoot/no shoot training, crawl, walk run simulation... This is way cool for me to hear about.

It's actually a really great move. I've worked in military simulation technology and it makes a huge impact on new soldiers and honestly, live data simulation is going to change combat command, and already has some...

Lockheed haven't had much success with real engines, they'd be better suited to bribing their way into the gaming sector.
