News from BIA

Checking the VBS2.com site this morning I noticed with the assistance of a well placed individual the announcement of some very exciting enhancements coming our way. All of which appear to be collaborations between BISim, Virtual Integrated Simulation and SimCentric. What's on the way you ask?

VBS2Fusion:

Finally an API allowing programmatic access to the VBS2 core, allowing a C++ programmer to influence scenarios in real time beyond the scope of the ASI. This will hopefully provide other AI solutions in particular, SimCentric is working on Kynapse integration (search on google, there's a search bar to the right if you CBF browsing away manually :) ).

VBS2Fires:

A software based module allowing call for fire training on various levels in the training continuum, appears to be "all arms" capable. Put your JTAC into action supporting your team, and gain a further advantage over the OPFOR, while refining your drills at the sharp end.

VBS2 Marksman MK1:

Been to the WTSS? Hate shooting pixels? Get an updated virtual range using VBS2 for visuals!

VBS2 CFFT:

Effectively VBS2Fires combined with the setup seen with the VBS2 Marksman kit giving you a 360 degree view of the battlefield, could have the potential to replace the IFOT.

Keep in mind that additional license fees may apply, and obviously you'll be expected to fork out some cash for hardware, and by some cash I mean a lot of cash!

Those who are in a position to nag the movers and shakers would have probably stopped reading by this point to go start agitating to provide more options to the troops, so I'll finish up here and go continue working on the upcoming tutorials.
