VBS 3 and 4

[Faceless Operator]

Howdy, I've been a longtime fan of arma II and III. My job recently put me through vbs training and I immediately recognized the arma 3 ui, and in the aar I saw the Bohemia interactive logo on a bunch of stuff. I was just curious if anyone is or has ported vbs resources to arma 3? It could help me get a couple of extra virtual iterations in before a live fire and other trainings.

different platforms and even different divisions.

you're best of with A3 mods. VBS isn't compatible.

i see VBS as some feature of arma 2 like the reticule to shoot but no VBS is only for military usage so i don't think it will be available on arma 3 which is the civilian version

VBS 3 and 4 uses a different engine. Just make the assets yourself in 3Ds MAX and then import them with the Arma 3 tools.

Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim) and Bohemia Interactive a.s. (BI) are completely different companies.

Arma 3 isn't the "civilian version" of VBS. They're completely different products that happen to share the same original version of the Real Virtuality engine used in Arma 1.

However, both have changed so much by now that there's probably no way you'd be able to port anything over from VBS4 without a truckload of work needed to get them working in Arma 3 (leaving aside legality issues...).

VBS 3 is arma 1 game with a lot of options. the only thing that vbs has that arma 3 needs is the AAR stuff.
everything else (in my opinion) is very useless and not user friendly.
i have 3800 hours in arma 3 and i do not like VBS at all.
everything is so clunky and not easy to use in editor mode.
infantry movement is bad. vehicle movement and feeling is bad.
Sure arma is not great at that either a lot of the times. but there is not a 4000,- price tag on it. where as vbs had the pricetag. and is not giving what you paid for

i used vbs 3 when i was in the military it's pretty much arma with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics. Also got to use the mission module which is like zeus but with more functions.

I'd like the latest VBS (if all content was included) but feel I would get as much use out of it as I did VBS1, which was fun to fiddle with but utimately was just a novelty for my uses.

For 99pc of us Arma 3 (4???) will be what we really need and want even though the temptation for the forbidden unreachable sim is there tantalising us.
