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

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 server will be started as a host for that group  Only the Dedicated Servers are running with LVC activated  All clients start VBS2 normally and connect to the 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
