The Fighter Collection Simulation Engine

The Fighter Collection Simulation Engine (TFCSE), developed for TFC by its associate company, Eagle Dynamics, is currently integrated into the commercial entertainment software pro-duct "Lock On: Modern Air Combat". "Lock On" is a high fidelity first-person perspective flight simulator that allows the player to operate one of several US or Russian jet fighter aircraft (A-10A Warthog, F-15C Eagle, Su-27 Flanker B, MiG-29 Fulcrum A, MiG-29 Fulcrum C, Su-25 Frogfoot, Su-25T, Su-33 Flanker D).

Lock On models a large portion of the Black Sea region, including the Crimean peninsula and the western Caucuses. The area is highly detailed and includes more than 180,000 buildings, 50,000,000 trees, 21 cities, 1,700 towns and villages, 500 bridges, 18 airfields and 8 naval bases.

up

Sound and communications

TFCSE offers realistic sound effects and an audio environment that includes wingman comms, AWACS, tanker comms, and tower/approach controllers.

up

Aircraft Systems

Accurate modeling of aircraft systems include engines, fuel systems, hydraulics, jamming and countermeasures. All aircraft moving surfaces and cinematics are highly detailed.

up

Flight Modeling

TFCSE offers a variety of different flight models that can be adjusted by the end user through the use of editable tables and input schemes to suit classified requirements.

up

Artificial Intelligence Modeling

AI controlled opponents can be configured by the end user with regard to skill level and capabilities. AI ground vehicles, such as tanks and mobile SAM systems are simulated as well as naval systems. (For the list of existing AI opponents modeled see annex A).

up

Physics

Physics include math modeling of general motion, aero-dynamics, atmospherics, ballistics, radar, electro optical, collisions, blast, crash dynamics, lighting, sound.

up

Terrain Modeling

Detailed terrain is modeled to include all types of terrain - coastal, mountain, urban, rural, industrial, agricultural - and offers extremely fast dynamic mesh algorithms to suit high mach number movement.

up

Weapons Effects

A large variety of specific weapon detonation effects such as blast, shock wave, flash, fragmentation and other physics are modeled. Probability of destruction depending on blast type, material and proximity is realistically programmed. Collision detection parameters down to one centimeter precision ensure highly realistic hit, miss and damage characteristics.
