VT MAK is pleased to announce the release of VR-Exchange 2.6.

VR-Exchange is MAK’s universal translator for distributed simulations. It performs FOM-to-FOM translation, RTI-to-RTI bridging, DIS or HLA-to-TENA translation, and can support simulation-to-C4I interoperability. VR-Exchange’s open architecture means that you can develop custom brokers for C4I protocols or other data standards. We provide a documented interface (API) to the data exchange, as well as sample code that shows you how to read and write to our protocol independent data format.

VR-Exchange 2.6 is a major feature release that continues to make it faster and easier to use. In addition, this release adds support for RTI Systems DDS implementation. VR-Exchange has supported DDS for some time, but had been compiled against the OpenSplice DDS implementation. With this version, the VR-Exchange DDS Broker can be compiled against either DDS implementation without modification.

For a complete description of the new features, as well as information on other improvements, please see the Release Notes: https://www.mak.com/relnotes/VRExchange2.6ReleaseNotes.pdf.
