Operation Flashpoint has won critical acclaim for its realism of simulating military conflict situations on PC, even to the extent where the game's technology has been adapted for real soldiers to use as a special combat training application VBS1.

In April 2006, a VBS1 enterprise license has been negotiated with the Australian Defence Force ( ADF ) and the New Zealand Defence Force ( NZDF ), which includes provision of VBS1 and an update to VBS2 for both the ADF and the NZDF.

In August 2006 the USMC has purchased an enterprise license of Virtual Battlespace ( VBS ) covering an unlimited number of VBS1 and VBS2 licenses.

Also State of South Carolina has now joined the list of State, Federal, and Local governments ordering the VBS1 synthetic training system.

* VBS1 and VBS2, game platforms for military training used by various armies today

VBS1 may be used to teach doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures during squad and platoon offensive, defensive, and patrolling operations.

The game uses the same engine, Real Virtuality, as the military simulator VBS1.

The spinoff studio Bohemia Interactive Australia ( BIA ) was formed by BI and David Lagettie, where joint development of a special military training simulation program, VBS1, began in December 2001.

After thorough testing and field use ( in cooperation with United States Marine Corps ), VBS1 was made available in the fall of 2002 for qualified government clients and military organizations.

On May 21, 2004, VBS1 underwent limited public distribution.

VBS1 ( Virtual Battlespace Systems 1 ) is a military simulator which relies heavily on modern game technology and is therefore generally referred to as a serious game.

The first military customer for VBS1 was the United States Marine Corps ( USMC ), who were provided VBS1, a USMC addon pack and MOUT training facilities modelled to a high level of detail ( LOD ) in late 2001.

In 2002, the product was further developed, which resulted in the first versions of the VBS1 After Action Review ( AAR ) and Observer being developed.

The Australian Defence Force ( ADF ) began conducting trials with VBS1 in 2003, and a large amount of work was conducted by the Virtual Environments and Simulation Lab ( VESL ), part of the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy.

This gave VBS1 an inherent and powerful data recording and mission playback capability.

Exclusive distribution rights for VBS1 to North America was given to Coalescent Technologies, with BIA and BIS distributing to the rest of the world via the online shop.

The ADF conducted trials of VBS1 in November 2004 as part of the VICE.

The trials resulted in VBS1 being recommended as a suitable training tool for a range of military purposes: from Infantry Minor Tactics through to combined arms operations.

The VBS1 2. 07 patch was released in mid 2005 and also AAR 3 and Observer 3.

In accordance with ADF requests, the VBS1 Instructor Interface and also numerous convoy training enhancements were implemented.

BIA developed the town of As Samawah ( as part of Terrain Pack 3 ) in VBS1 to a high level of detail from photos and maps, and also a 50 km² Al Muthanna terrain area.

In April 2006 was BIA chosen by Australian Defence Force ( ADF ) to develop a number of Loadmaster Virtual Reality Simulators ( LVRS ) utilizing VBS1 simulator engine.

Two version of VBS1 delivered: ' VBS1 Developer ' provides a fully functional product for use in simulation centers and ' VBS1 Lite ' for wider distribution.

The RTE client does not have a general purpose operating system-it usually lacks shells ( terminal windows ), is not designed to be patched ( updated online ), has minimal connectivity to external resources, and is often found in read-only media ( e. g. tamper-resistant ROM chips, CD-ROM, etc .).

Building Surveyors are trained to some extent in all aspects of property but with specific training in Building Pathology, as such they have a wide understanding of the end implications of decisions taken by more specific professions and trades during the realisation process, thus making them suitable for employment as Project and Property Managers on the client side ( i. e. managing external contractors ).

There are client programs that " SOCKS-ify ", which allows adaptation of any networked software to connect to external networks via certain types of proxy servers ( mostly SOCKS ).

# The VPN client connects to a VPN server via an external network interface.

# Sales outsourcing involves direct branded representation where the sales representatives are recruited, hired, and managed by an external entity but hold quotas, represent themselves as the brand of the client, and report all activities ( through their own sales management channels ) back to the client.

By adding a port mapping, a UPnP controller behind the IGD can enable traversal of the IGD from an external address to an internal client.

Other " plugs " added features to the interface and enabled FileMaker to serve as an FTP client, perform external file operations, and send messages to remote FileMaker files over the Internet or an intranet.

Consultants can function as bridges for information and knowledge, and that external consults can provide these bridging services more economically than client firms themselves.

The health of the external firm is in aggregate more important than that of their client ( though of course the health of their client can have a direct impact on their own health ).

Without this, therapists can be forced to apply an external frame of reference where the therapist is no longer understanding the actions and thoughts of the client as the client would, but strictly as a therapist which defeats the purpose of humanistic therapy.

* Public Relations or PR Consultants dealing specifically with Public Relations matters external to the client organisation and often engaged on a semi-permanent basis by larger organisations to provide input and guidance.

Researches on subjects related to the development of absorptive capacity have included studies focusing on research and development, knowledge management, organizational structures, human resources, external interactions, social capital, supplier integration, client integration and inter-organizational fit.

That is, a client can be offered a social learning approach that helps them to ' cope ' with external pressures by re-learning their pattern of drinking alcohol.

Using an external file signing program ( such as GnuPG or another PGP client ), these hashes can also optionally be signed, preventing unauthorized modification if the archive is compromised.

) It uses external programs, called " source clients ", to originate the streams, and the Icecast project includes a source client program known as IceS.

This may be performed by reading the programs memory with an external program, or intercepting and decoding packets as they travel between the client and the server.

Interception can be passive ( see Ghosting and ESP ) or result in active manipulation ( see wallhacks ); either methodology can be performed on the client machine itself or via an external communication proxy ; some aimbots incorporate this methodology.

The team developing the Linux client had been working for a year prior to the announcement to validate that such a port would be possible .< Ref name =" gamasutra linux "/> As of the official announcement, a near-feature complete Steam client for Linux had been developed and successfully run on Ubuntu .< Ref name =" gamasutra linux "/> Initial external beta testing of the Linux client started in October 2012.

Once the player has finished giving orders for the turn, either the client program or an external helper program takes the data, creates a turn file ( usually with a. TRN extension ), and sends it to the host person, who feeds all the turn files into the host program.

When a client has discovered its external address, it can use this as a candidate for communicating with peers by sharing the external NAT address rather than the private address ( which is, by definition, not reachable from peers on the public network ).
