Advanced Simulation Technology inc. (ASTi) introduced an X-Plane ownship plug-in to its Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC (SERA) product, which provides SERA with all the necessary simulation parameters from X-Plane.
Combined with CoreDS from Distributed Simulation Tools (ds.tools), the SERA X-Plane plug-in enables SERA to integrate with any flight simulator using X-Plane 11. CoreDS renders SERA traffic out the cockpit window, resulting in an immersive aviation training experience with full air traffic control (ATC) support.
ASTi developed the X-Plane plug-in to increase interest in virtual reality (VR) for low-cost training, where X-Plane is popular for consumer off-the-shelf simulation engines. While VR trainers offer low-cost training, they traditionally require an instructor to role-play ATC for each. SERA eliminates the need to role-play ATC and generates other traffic in the visual system, which is critical for VFR pattern work.
