Simulation Visualization
Unreal Engine 5
Cesium Terrain Modeling
-
Experience a true open-world environment with global coverage — simulate flight operations at any coordinates on Earth with realistic scale and geography.
-
Powered by Cesium’s integration with Google Earth terrain tiles, MAVRIK’s visualization delivers seamless, high-resolution terrain and 3D models for unmatched realism and spatial accuracy — including detailed buildings, vegetation, and natural terrain features for a fully immersive simulation environment.
Custom Vehicles
The Unreal Engine 5 visualization environment enables the creation of custom aircraft models with a high level of visual and functional fidelity. Users can import or design unique 3D vehicle geometries, apply custom materials and textures, and integrate complex animations to represent real-world motion and control surface behavior.
From propeller rotations and landing gear deployment to morphing wings and tilt-rotor transitions, every element of the vehicle can be animated and synchronized with simulation data from MAVRIK. This allows for accurate and immersive representation of vehicle dynamics in real time.
Whether for engineering visualization, research, or presentation purposes, the UE5 integration ensures your vehicle models look and perform exactly as intended within a rich, dynamic simulation environment.
Camera Views
The Unreal Engine 5 environment supports fully customizable camera views and perspectives for testing and visualization. Users can configure fixed, chase, cockpit, or free-roaming cameras to observe flight behavior from any desired angle. Cameras can also be linked to specific vehicle components or dynamically adjusted based on flight conditions, allowing for detailed analysis of control responses, stability, and performance.
Whether monitoring test data from a pilot’s viewpoint or showcasing a formation flight from an external perspective, MAVRIK’s UE5 integration offers complete flexibility in how simulations are viewed and experienced.
Heads-Up Displays
Enhance your simulation experience with a fully customizable heads-up display (HUD) that provides real-time visualization of key flight data. The HUD can present airspeed, altitude, attitude, orientation, control inputs, and system status directly within the simulation environment.
Users can tailor the HUD layout and styling to match mission requirements or specific aircraft systems, creating clear and informative overlays for flight testing, training, or control law evaluation. This integration of data and visualization ensures that performance insights remain immediately accessible throughout every simulation.
Compatibility
The Unreal Engine 5 visualization environment is designed for universal connectivity, supporting both UDP and serial communication interfaces. This flexibility allows MAVRIK and other external systems—such as flight simulators, telemetry sources, or real flight vehicles—to seamlessly exchange data with the visualization environment.
Through these standardized communication protocols, UE5 can visualize live or simulated telemetry, enabling integration with custom flight software, control systems, or third-party simulation tools. This open architecture ensures that UE5 can serve as a powerful visualization platform for virtually any aerospace application.
