作者：
Highlights：
• A solution for pathfinding in large realistic terrains used in simulation systems.
• The proposed pathfinding algorithm treats terrain relief inclination during execution time.
• Usage of a hierarchical algorithmic approach and virtual terrain representation.
• Deployment in the prototype of a military simulation with massive virtual terrain.
• Path smoothing while executing the pathfinding, taking into account terrain relief inclination.
