Hi everyone,

Apologies for the lack of information from us in regards to your questions. I can now confirm some facts for you having clarified the information through our management.

Firstly we are definitely no longer selling VBS3 Personal Edition. That's the bad news. If someone had a lot of expendable cash flow we would sell them a VBSDN subscription, but I can't see that being a popular option.

The good news is that with the pending release of VBS3 3.7 I have been told that all existing PE customers will receive an email from our Marketing department with download links when they become available. So keep an eye out for the email coming soon to an inbox near you! We will also be posting the links here in the forums. It is important to know that as Personal Edition customers we do not provide access to direct support through email as has always been the case. The forums are the place to ask for answers.

Regards,
Troy

VBS3 3.7 Release delays

Hello all,

We are writing to provide an update on the release of VBS3 3.7 which as you may know was scheduled for release at the end of June. We've now ticked over to July and as such we want to let you know of the release progress. Unfortunately we discovered some issues that prevented a release on schedule. These issues have been resolved and the release is currently going through our Quality Assurance testing processes. So all things going good we should see the release available within the next week. We will of course let you know of the release via the newsletter and posting the links in the relevant forums. Military customers should contact their relevant simulation controlling body/section for the links.

Regards,

Good stuff! Its like an advanced version of ARMA isn't it?
It does come with all kinds of seperate specialised modules, doesn't it or do you need to buy them seperately?
Did you buy it as a civillian or did you obtain a copy via a special route?

Cheers!

Good stuff! Its like an advanced version of ARMA isn't it?

VBS is a training tool which has powerful offline as well as real-time editors. It also has an excellent aar tool. Most people can get a richer gaming experience with ARMA3 + mods like ACE/ACRE.

VBS is also not as graphically pleasing as ARMA3. VBS does have streams and rivers though.

Here’s a list made by ProGamerGov over a year ago showing what is better in VBS3. I cannot confirm if all are correct or if any have been added to ARMA3

1.   Walking on moving vehicles like planes and ships.
2.   An insane amount of content.
3.   More moddable. (Scripting wiki is better)
4.   Instead of the Hollywood explosions, VBS has a realistic damage model.
5.   Better graphics.
6.   Realistic medical system.
7.   They redid the fatigue system in VBS3 to be more realistic.
8.   Maps are thousands of times larger than Arma.
9.   VBS3 has redid the multiplayer menus to be more accessible.
10.   It's more optimized by a huge amount.
11.   Advanced water simulation: Rivers, lakes, floods, rain, waves and other other stuff.
12.   Underground structures.
13.   Better than Battlefield 4 structure damage.
14.   Simulates all four seasons.
15.   Simulates real world weapon systems better.
16.   Better thermal view.
17.   Better modding tools.
18.   Better animations.
19.   Better driving physics, better flight physics and better boat physics.
20.   Below the water level compartments on moving ships.
21.   Higher player count in missions.
22.   Higher AI count in missions.
23.   Better light simulation.
24.   Realistic sandstorm simulation.
25.   Dismemberment.
26.   You can enable or disable pretty much any part of the simulation.
27.   Updates aren't every day but they are significant.
28.   Real vehicles and not hybrid/fake ones.
29.   More variety as opposed to just shooting people. Like rescue, police, aid, and other stuff.
30.   Flight ceiling is realistic.
31.   Hundreds of features no other game can compete with.
32.   Dedicated dev team that has the quote "nothing is impossible"
33.   The AI is better.
34.   Multicore support.
35.   Underwater is better simulated.
36.   Keyhole entry.
37.   Better weather effect like snow.
38.   Ice can form on rivers, lakes and parts of the ocean.
39.   Ray cast wheel simulation.
40.   Different ground types like sand, boggy, pavement and other stuff that actually affects movement.
41.   3D editor that can work in real time.
42.   After action report.
43.   More scripting commands and more access to parts of the simulation with scripting.
44.   Rain makes the environment wet. Hydroplaning.
45.   Farther render distance.
46.   Physx is fully implemented so increased Physx modding abilities.
47.   An actual dedicated support team that can help you.
48.   Weather affects the environment and vehicles.
49.   Show can be hazardous (getting stuck)
50.   Vehicles for military construction and combat recovery vehicles. Mine detection vehicles.
51.   Better IED simulation.


It does come with all kinds of seperate specialised modules, doesn't it or do you need to buy them seperately?

It is modular. The PE edition is the basic. Some modules are created specifically for certain customers and are not available to anyone else. Other modules are available but can cost many thousands of $


Did you buy it as a civillian or did you obtain a copy via a special route?

They sold it until recently to non-military.


I hope you find this helpful.


Regards

Thanks Asid. A complete post although I believe the last bit was supposed to be non-military as opposed to non-civillian ? Am I correct?

Lots of thanks for the info. It does look like an interesting software suite.

Are you happy with it? Do you play regularly?

Hi Yassy

I did mean "non-military". Sorry.

VBS is an interesting tool with great depth and posibilities. There are 4 members in the DOW who own it. It is early days yet but I like it. It is not for everyone and at the risk of repeating myself. Most people will find exactly what they are looking for in Arma3. If not then they can easily add one of the excellent mods available for it.

I will report back when i have spent more time in VBS.

Regards
