Abstract

Virtual flight has consistently held a prominent position as a viable alternative to traditional physical flying, with the backing of a dedicated and vocal community. It has also become an indispensable tool within the professional training process of prospective pilots. In order to achieve the most effective outcomes, the virtual environment must be crafted with a high degree of realism, fidelity, and interactivity. AformX, a company operating a flight academy, in collaboration with the University of Ljubljana, initiated a project with the objective of enhancing Slovenia’s spatial identity in flight simulators. The project involved the creation of a virtual landscape representing the region of Lower Savinja Valley and Celje Basin, in which the AformX flight base is situated. To achieve our goal, we undertook extensive research into the characteristics of the region. We then used modified OpenStreetMap and GURS spatial data together with a refined open-source program, OSM2XP, to create a virtual environment. This exceeded our expectations and fulfilled our goal. The project could serve as a launch pad for a bigger project spanning the whole country of Slovenia or even more.

Leon Alessio, Univerza v Ljubjani, Fakulteta za računalništvo in informatiko

Leon Alessio je absolvent dodiplomskega programa Računalništva in informatika na Fakulteti za računalništvo in informatiko. V svoji diplomski nalogi napoveduje nizko energijsko razpoložljivost pri plesalcih s pomočjo strojnega učenja. Sodeloval je pri projektu Prostorska identiteta Slovenije v letalskih simulatorjih kot edini študent računalništva. Izkušnje nabira kot razvijalec zalednih sistemov pri IN2. Ukvarja se tudi z razvojem spletnih aplikacij.
