RTN Develop Naval Simulator, NWS980

This is the thing I impress the most. NWS980

I talk to the development team. They are working in the software department of Institute of Advanced Naval Studies. (สถาบันวิชาการทหารเรือชั้นสูง) The head of this project, he siad at the first time RTN want to procure naval combat sinulator to train its high ranking officer. But the foreign software cost you more than 200,000,000 baht!!! So they try develop this software by themself. They uses the open source software Global Conflict Blut as a base engine. It is actually a game that you play in your home but he adjust them to suit the military task. He added the real information of warship and after one year of development, the outcome is like this.
