CharlieB Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Evening all. I have been having some discussions with my team in how to achieve mounted training for my reservists. We are looking to scope the option of a Sim Lab to run SB to deliver crew, Tp and Sqn training. I would welcome thoughts on what we might need - especially from those who are already using it for this function: My initial thoughts are: Excon x 1 Blue Roleplayer x 2 (Inf, Engrs, Arty, flanking etc etc...) OPFOR Roleplayer x1 (the meanies) Training troops x 18 Means I could do: Commanders only (18 computers) Gunners and Commanders (2 Tps of 4 = 16 computers) Gunners Commanders and Drivers (1 Tp = 12 computers) Max total number of computers = 22. I am thinking laptops for ease of setup and storage etc - an idea of what I should be looking at would also be very helpful. Clearly we are going to have to apply for funding so I can't kick the arse out of it - but it needs to work. Clearly SB liceneces would be required and that will be $115 x 22 = $2,530 - unless there is a smarter way of doing this... Thoughts welcome. Cheers - CharlieB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Gibsonm Posted November 19, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) @CharlieB We have been doing this for a while. 20 or so Sec Trunks comprising: 40x Laptops, joysticks and mice, several "driver" steering wheels 3 x Switches Qty Ethernet LitePro Portable screen. The ADF is a military customer so we had 2 x 50 user dongles - which allowed us to run two separate concurrent activities on different LANs. I'll see if I can find: a. The thread here from a while ago b. The post Trials report - this will likely be via PM or email.

My recommendation would be a 4...12 core CPU; depending on the brand and your budget you may end up on the lower or higher end of that spectrum. 8 GByte RAM, possibly 16. GPU is something that you should decide at the last minute. There's some motion in the market (Intel with Iris GPUs; they're not quite there yet but may become a contender in six...twelve months). Your choice of Steel Beasts licenses, well, contact me by email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
