I thought I read that as a partnership or at least just an infusion of cash into BIS so they could develop ARMA3 and VBS3. BISim/BIStudios aren't going anywhere. Especially not after winning the GfT contract.

Looks like we'll all get to stick with Bohemia and VBS2/3 for a while longer http://www.itnewsonline.com/showrwstory.php?storyid=11353

Interested in working on VBS2 full-time? TBOC SIMS has job openings for several positions at our facility in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

If you don't need the radio, you can turn it off completely with: enableRadio false; But I don't know if you need it for what you're doing.

Vandrel, while I agree that government contracting can be tough, our contract here was just rebid and we are secure for the next 3 years here at TBOC SIMS. We're working to hire talent with fire in their gut to make things that support Soldiers. BISim is great, but TBOC SIMS is in a unique position to make videos and trainers without asking for money from our customers. The Land Navigation Trainer I built came about because I saw a training gap and I worked to fill it. It costs the Army nothing extra for us to make things customers request. That freedom to build innovative products is why I love my job.

All I can tell you is to apply with whatever skills you have. It will definitely help if you have a website with any models you've made so they can see your work. We have taken skills over certificates before.

Anyone interested in working with VBS2 full time? We are currently hiring a 3D Modeler for our organization. If you'd like to see some examples of what we do, check out www.youtube.com/TBOCSIMS. We'd love to get someone from the community to add to our team. If you have any questions about it, let me know. 3D Simulation/Modeling Engineer-8828 Secret clearance is required. The 3d Modeler would be responsible for creating 3d models for use in Department of Defense constructive simulations and gaming applications. The incumbent will work with all to ensure the accuracy of the models developed. The 3d modeler will also coordinate with M&S organizations with the DoD such as the Modeling and Simulation Coordination Office, PEO-STRI, PM-TRASYS, National Simulation Center and industry leaders in gaming technologies. https://ch.tbe.taleo.net/CH11/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=CAMBER&cws=1&rid=8828

@ScorpionGuard, most Army VBS2 labs have less than 100 computers (last I checked) and typically VBS2 is used for training below the Platoon Level, usually focused on the squad (9 Soldiers). I believe that each server can support 128 unique users not counting AI.

I don't know if there's any interest in a Real Time Strategy-style Interface for VBS2 but we've created one. The demo video is at .This prototype is an initiative to incorporate some of the attributes of the Real Time Strategy genre onto the first person shooter, Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2). We are looking to work with other organizations to build this into a more comprehensive capability to give VBS2 the ability to train tactical operations at the platoon and company level. This prototype gives the leader the ability to control large numbers of Soldiers through an intuitive and easy to learn interface, striving for leaders to spend more time thinking tactically and less time learning the controls. We are looking for your feedback to determine our way ahead.

If you guys are seriously interested in jobs with VBS2, I work for TBOC SIMS (facebook.com/TBOCSIMS & youtube.com/TBOCSIMS) and we are probably looking to hire another scenario developer and videographer in the next few months. Our Army Contract was just rebid and won by CGI Federal and they have just started the transition process. If any of you are interested, I'll post the job listing when it comes out. It's a great place to work and we've have great freedom to be innovative and create new trainers, like the land navigation trainer I've posted about on here.

Thanks for the post, DM. Here's a picture from that training on Monday. It was awesome to see how into it the cadets got. The students working on finding their points and the cadet leadership working to help them. http://brianthall.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/wpcadetslandnav.jpg (1912 kB)
