Views on state of the Simulation Industry Having been in gaming a few years now simulation seems to be a bit behind graphically and artistically I anticipate simulation will withstand sequestration much better than some other defense industries. It is highly competitive though very good, as the DoD budget shrinks simulation is more readily accepted Simulation is vital in reducing costs for training and in improving safety in the workplace It's really rocky right now. Larger companies are really hurting for business with the defense budget cuts. I actually feel safer in a smaller company, because they offer cheaper contracts, so the defense industry is turning to them right now Simulation technology has improved with relevant databases however has some ways to go in terms of simulator to actual aircraft response and tactile feedback the mantra should be when the economy is down, simulation should be up It's currently still too DoD-centric. There's a lot of room for innovation in medical and education. I fear for our local sim industry I think it is incredibly bloated and 10 years behind the game industry .. started in the Links blue canoe and retired teaching the F mdl ch47 helicopter device. Industry is growing in leaps and bounds. From a chart on a table top with an ink rolled line to six camera visual is absolutely beautiful! all but war is simulation The industry needs to offer entry level positions to allow one to gain experience to fill the high level positions. Sequestration is going to hurt, a lot. Degrading. Without the big companies taking the integration of Video Game Technology more seriously the Govt will quite literally stop buying "big box" products This chart represents the respondents who are not likely to be tempted by other job offers:
Twice the norm say they are extremely well paid. MONEY DOES BRING HAPPINESS!
Two thirds more than the norm are also challenged by their work KEEP THEM BUSY!
More than twice the norm viewed their work as Extremely Meaningful and thought their benefits were Extremely satisfying! Remember this happy group is only 9% of respondents 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 12.0% 14.0% 16.0% 18.0% 20.0% Those who are Not At All Likely To Look By Job Title About SimSTAFF Technical Services Established in 2006 SimSTAFF focused on the local high technology community involved in Modeling, Simulation & Training.
