Simthetiq will include specific feature and options within each vehicle model, adding to the level of realism and functionality and helping to fulfill the tactical mission training requirements. Standard features include multiple levels of detail, authentic texture schemes, precise material codes, distinct damage states, and accurate thermal signatures. The addition of navigational, formation, and obstruction light points will enhance day and night training scenario capabilities.

Sogitec Industries, a subsidiary of aircraft manufacturerDassault Aviation, provides logistic support products and services for aerospace and defense systems.
