LVC Overview Topics of Discussion Why Use LVC? How LVC Operates (VBS2 Perspective, Simplified) Basic Setup Dedicated Servers & LVC Practical Example
Why Use LVC? What is LVC? Interface created by Calytrix Bi-directional DIS/HLA interactions to share data Can potentially support more than “just” DIS/HLA Entity Mapping – Receiving and Transmitting Entity Information Benefits of Use Link up with other simulations Distribute VBS2 mission workload Automated use; minimal to no setup required to run LVC 1 1 225 1 1 2 0 vbs2_us_army_m1a1_d 1 1 225 1 1 2 0
How LVC Operates Distributing VBS2 workload amongst multiple Dedicated Servers LVC acts as the gateway to share information LVC LVC LVC LVC Other Sims
How LVC Operates Entities received through LVC are realized in 3D Can be observed and destroyed, but controlled by external simulation Simultaneously transmit/receive VBS2 entity information Entity Sent via LVC Entity Received via LVC
Basic Setup Setting a Unique DIS Application ID (Server Only) C:\Bohemia Interactive\VBS2\config\DIS\DIS.config Required when two or more Dedicated Servers running LVC
Basic Setup Starting a Dedicated Server For each group of clients, one dedicated serverwill be started as a host for that group Only the Dedicated Servers are running withLVC activated All clients start VBS2 normally and connect tothe network session LVC Interface Sharing entity information
Practical Example Multiple Dedicated Servers & LVC Each server has its own concept of a larger scenario BLUFOR hosted Dedicated Server OPFOR hosted Dedicated Server Both servers operate independently on the same Network Dedicated Servers share information about its Network Scenario Dedicated Servers relay shared information to its respective clients
