Engine Upgrade
Engine Upgrade improves the software graphics
The aforementioned engine upgrade provides a new lighting model giving a greater sense of visual detail and realism, thus providing a more immersive experience for RS users.
New features
Object Categorisation
A key improvement is the Object List having capability to group objects by placing them into folders, in order to better structure a scenario.
New Triage Parameters
A new water tank system for vehicles with a water tank allows tank capacity and flow rate to be simulated, allowing users to learn to manage their resources efficiently.
The improved triage system in version 1.6 is now equipped with new parameters for assessing the patient condition, allowing trainees to further examine extent of injuries. This feature is a key example of our close engagement with users who suggested this improvement and worked with us to ensure it was implemented optimally.
Path nodes can now be set or offset to a specific altitude (e.g. for aircraft), making the creation of scenarios containing airborne objects less time-consuming.
Path system now contains options to place nodes at a constant altitude
