Crusty Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Well I'm back from my holiday and as promised here's a few pics from the exhibition, but I was only there for one day so I didn't take as many as I would normally do. So we're kick off with a couple of general shots of the layout of the stand, at the table we have Nils, Ed, Al, and Lukas. [ATTACH]10201[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10202[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10203[/ATTACH] Here we have Ed with his game face on. [ATTACH]10204[/ATTACH] The AFV Sim equipment on the stand this year was a gunner handle for the CV90/35. [ATTACH]10205[/ATTACH] And a LEO2 gunner handle. [ATTACH]10206[/ATTACH] Edited June 13, 2012 by Crusty It's always good to get peoples names correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hopefully the headsets were to hear the "in game" sounds, not due to noisy neighbours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 I would have thought they'd have offered one to you to save to cost of shipping them home? Just avoid the one that had the "super crash". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hopefully the headsets were to hear the "in game" sounds, not due to noisy neighbours? More to demonstrate the CNR Sim/CNR Log integration. It was surprisingly quiet this year, actually. We feared the worst with Raydon setting up a cal .50 gunnery simulator right next to us, but either they didn't make a live demonstration or they had the common sense to switch off the sound. Or maybe our feedback to the organizers actually made a difference, who knows. :cul: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Nice pics. Maybe eSim should look at exporting tank controls to touch screens too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Meh. If your training objective is that gunners habitually take their eyes off the sights to fiddle with buttons, touchscreens are a good choice. On the other hand, if you want to do it cheap, then do it really cheap with a desktop trainer. Otherwise use a container with full instrumentation. Anything in between is chickenshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 What can you do, when the Canadians don't even want to talk to us and rather plug their ears singing "Nananana...."? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 How could they, if there was nothing that they contributed to it? It's all wild speculation ... until they confirm our guesswork by telling us that we can't make it public, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Why is ITEC 2013 in Italy? Rome! Great, now the mild interest my wife had in wanting to come too has become a demand!

Tango29 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I guess it's only fair to summarize what we've been showing - basically, we now have more than just two parties per scenario, with e.g. Green and Purple being neutral to everybody. You can have unarmed noncombatants and irregular fighters. And Grannies with RPGs (I can already see where this is going to be heading...). You can have some units navigate autonomously, either road-bound or off-road. You can have civilian-looking irregular fighters that may carry a concealed weapon until a certain condition is true, and who may conceal it again later on some other condition.You can now script mounting and dismounting of troops. You can now script recovery vehicles to tow away immobilized units without direct human interference. We use this in a couple of our computer simulations: individual civilians and crowds, civ vehicles, insurgents, guised insurgents and so forth. Adds a very interesting dimension to the scenarios! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
