Simulation Video Game

This is not a game, this is the perfect simulation of war, forget arma 1 and 2, this program are so great, this is. Virtual Battle Space 2 (VBS2) US Army Lite is an official military first person tactical training game for download by anyone who wants a copy of this game.

The squad-management system enables participants to issue orders to squad members. VBS2 was designed for federal, state, and local government agencies and can be specifically tailored to meet the individual needs of military, law enforcement, and training environments.

VBS2 may be used to teach doctrine, techniques, and procedures during and, and operations. VBS2 delivers a synthetic environment for the practical exercise of the and organizational behavior skills required to successfully execute unit missions. VBS2 is suitable for training small teams in urban tactics, entire combat teams in operations or even non-military usage such as emergency response procedures in lethal and non-lethal environments or terrain visualization. VBS2 is based on the VBS2 2, also used in the video game.

Technology The simulation engine driving VBS2 is 2, developed. VBS2 allows a user to develop large terrain areas, over 10,000 square kilometres (3,900 sq mi) in size (at any terrain resolution) and populate the terrain area with millions of objects in accordance with VMAP shape data, and then texture-map the entire representation with high-resolution satellite imagery or aerial photography. Once the terrain representation is exported into VBS2, the simulation engine will provide a simulation of the real world, incorporating moving trees and grass, ground clutter, ambient animal life, shadows, dynamic lighting, weather and time of day. A new streaming capability provides an efficient means of loading complex terrain areas as object and texture data is processed only when required. View distances are now typically five times greater than in (depending on speed) – has been improved to allow and armoured vehicles to engage at realistic ranges, and to call fire from greater distances.

Features VBS2 supports large network sessions allowing and improved administrator functionality. VBS2 provides improved simulation of complex urban areas, including destructible buildings, round penetration through walls and operable and destructible doors.

Weapon platforms are capable of thermal imaging, simulation of fire control systems and turret override. Multiple vehicle turrets are possible. Weapon have been improved. The After-Action-Review module allows detailed review of a completed training mission, with every player, AI, vehicle movement being recorded, as well as any bullet path and any destruction to objects or terrain. The VBS2 terrain editing tool, Visitor 3, will support direct import of terrain and shape data to recreate any area of operation in the simulation. VBS2 also includes real-time functionality for large numbers of AI or human participants. The VBS1 / gateway is updated and improved for VBS2 to meet HLA and DIS compliance.

History In 2001, Bohemia Interactive Australia (BIA) was formed to take Operation Flashpoint and develop a militarised version suitable for Tactical training. By late 2001, the US Marine Corps was provided an alpha version of VBS1 and from their feedback, the after actions review (AAR) tool was added. The Australian Army used VBS1 for experimentation in 2003 and training trials in 2004 with the software being accepted, in 2005, as an Infantry and combined arms operations training tool. In 2006 Calytrix Technologies developed LVCGame as a HLA and DIS gateway for VBS to allow constructive simulation entities and VBS entities to interact in wider exercises. VBS2 was released in beta in early 2007 and trialed as part of the ADF's Combined Arms Tactical Training (CATT) events. BIA then used feedback from both the ADF and USMC to finalize VBS2 throughout 2007 with the Virtual Tool Kit addition being released in 2008. In January 2009 the announced a new training program of record called Games for Training (GFT).

VBS2 was selected as the first person simulation flagship for the GFT program. This announcement replaced a DARPA initiative known as which was subsequently retired as a training tool. Games for Training is currently managed by the TRADOC Capability Manager Gaming, located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. VBS2 customers. members. Also released as JCOVE Lite with UK units and distributed as a recruitment tool., Developers and Distributors VBS2 was developed by Bohemia Interactive Australia (now known as Bohemia Interactive Simulations, spinoff company of former Bohemia Interactive Studio (now known as Bohemia Interactive). VBS2 since version 1.40 are under development by Bohemia Interactive Simulations (abbrev BISIM), which is separate company to/from Bohemia Interactive (abbrev.

Regarding the VBS2 US Army Lite EULA: There was a question about the EULA and the fact that eveyone was told that there are no distribution restrictions and anyone can have a copy. A question was posted about the conflict between the statement and the EULA at the official and restricted BCKS MilGaming Community of Practice on 9 Mar 2010. Here is the unclassified reply that was posted the same day to that question by the Army Program Manager for VBS2 Lite at PEO STRI: 'Greetings from the VBS2 Program Manager (PM): We are in the process of changing the verbiage on the license agreement to reflect the actual ULA for VBS2 Lite. The new license agreement enables the Government to provide VBS2 Lite to anyone. VBS2 Lite is limited in that there is no SDK, it has no real time editor or AAR capability and players are limited to 12 or fewer linked in a game. We will post the new ULA as soon as we receive it from the vendor.

For now we have multiple verbal and email confirmations of the agreement from the developer.' Need confirmation? This can be verified by anyone who is a member of the U.S. Army or the DA civilian workforce at the U.S. Army MilGaming Community of Practice. We have received a lot of questions about the EULA issue so the decision was made today by U.S.

Army PEO STRI to suspend further downloads at GamersHell of VBS2 US Army Lite. Another version is being prepared which will replace the incorrect EULA and address another minor issue that surfaced but does not affect game play. This new EULA will clear this matter up of who can have the file (ie; everyone) once and for all.

This new version should be up sometime next week. When we have the new download link at GamerHell for the revised game file I will post it here.
