It was essential to learn and adhere to strict regulations, scene management, alternate environmental switches, and quality assurance. Promotion to level II in 01/2002.Modelled many airports that where certified to Level D. The accuracy is such that pilots who complete training on a Level D simulation can fly, with no further tests, to that airport with customers on board.Pioneered a new process using my experience in 3D studio MAX to allow modellers to create more realistic environments using rendered scenes as textures.Tested revolutionary next-generation hardware and wrote procedures for all modellers to follow.Proudly accepted the challenge of creating an FAA compliant approach lights suite for company-wide use.Ensured each simulation had functioning changeable modes before product handover; day, night, wet, snow; with each surface having to have the correct properties in order to switch.Developed and applied thorough judgment and decision making, as well as keen eye for detail (e.g. as the utilised hardware supported two and a half thousand polygons on screen precise optimisation was required).Excelled during the interview phase after a practical assessment using a never-before-used 3D software and an instruction manual. The senior observer commented that I was the fastest learner he had ever seen. Show less
