Portico v2.0.1 Released
With a bunch of community provided patches, the dev team can lay virtually no claim to this release. Portico v2.0.1 is available now for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
Welcome to The Portico Project! Portico is an open source, cross-platform, fully supported HLA RTI implementation. Designed with modularity and flexibility in mind, Portico is a production-grade RTI for the Simulation and Training Community, so come say hi!
Once you've downloaded Portico, you'll want to know how to use it. Whether you're a general user or a federate developer, we've got you covered. Here you'll find a bunch of application-specific user guides for all the cool LVC tools, and code-level help for the developers. Java or C++; we won't judge.
Being lonely isn't fun. Luckily, you don't have to be! Portico has a large group of attractive and intelligent users you can interact with. Get help, or level-up your street cred by helping others. If you wear a suit, we're down with that too, and Commercial Support is available.
Portico provides a lot of value over alternatives, here are a few reasons to choose it...
Portico supports all the major IEEE and SISO standards. HLA v1.3, SISO DLC, IEEE-1516e, it's practically raining standards!
May the source be with you. No really, go get it. The full Portico source code is freely available. Fork us and contribute!
Need someone to help out with your TPS report? We've got you covered. Commercial support is readily available.
HLA is hard enough as it is, so we've tried to make the RTI easy. Portico doesn't use a central server, has sensible defaults and is designed to let you just get down to work.
We slam sim. Daily. Portico is used in our commercial products and we hammer it hard, because we want the open standard to set the standard.
Portico has been downloaded in more than 50 countries. It is used in government, industry and academia the world over, because open source knows no accent.
Commercial support helps sustain Portico development and provides a number of benefits, including a dedicated helpdesk, long-term release support, custom development time and service-level agreements. For all the details, see the Support page.
Portico is continuously tested and validated against leading simulation systems from the Live, Virtual and Constructive domains.
Titan.IM is the next wave in virtual simulation. Titan is a planetary sandbox providing a single environment spanning the entire globe. Fully deformable terrain down to 15cms, unlimited view distances, dynamic weather and atmospherse - Titan is built to overcome the problems that limit Serious Games. Titan is DIS/HLA enabled by Calytrix LVC Game.
Prepar3D is one of the premier desktop flight simulators. The evolution of Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Prepar3D is built and owned by Lockheed Martin. Prepar3D is developed exclusively for simulation and over its more recent history has added a number of modern military sim features. Since 2012, Prepar3D has been HLA enabled via Calytrix LVC Game.
X-Plane is the premier flight simulator for personal computers and high-fidelity simulation systems alike. Offering a highly realistic flight model, X-Plane is a fully-fledged engineering tool for either fixed-wing or rotary aircraft flight training and analysis. X-Plane 10 is DIS and HLA enabled via Calytrix LVC Game.
VBS is a first-person environment for individual and squad training. Built on the same engine used in the popular commercial game ArmA 2 (2009), VBS3 adds training features to mainstream game technology. For HLA, VBS v3.7 and earlier use Calytrix LVC Game. Later versions use an in-house product called VBS Gateway.
Steel Beasts is a small-unit armored and mechanized combat simulation. Distinguished from other simulations by a faithful reproduction of tactical manoeuvres and Fire Control Systems, Steel Beasts provides tactical training for single-vehicle, platoon and company scenarios. Steel Beasts supports DIS and HLA via Calytrix LVC Game.
Joint Semi Automated Forces (JSAF) is a constructive simulation developed by the United Stated Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) with the aim of providing a high fidelity entity level simulation to support training and experimentation. JSAF is HLA-enabled natively and includes a DIS bridge.
OneSAF is an entity-level, brigade-and-below constructive simulation system developed by the US Army. It is designed to support a variery of needs including training, experimentation, analysis, mission planning and rehersal. OneSAF is distributed and supports DIS and HLA operation.
Unity3D is a powerful cross-platform 3D engine and auser-friendly development environment. With a growing user base supporting everything from Indie game development to serious simulators, desktop and mobile, the Unity platform continues to expand. Support within Unity comes via the Calytrix LVC Game for Unity SDK.
With a bunch of community provided patches, the dev team can lay virtually no claim to this release. Portico v2.0.1 is available now for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
Worst. Pun. Ever. Let's just move on, shall we? Quick and accessible community support is essential to any open source project. Portico support is now powered by Google Groups, because... reasons.
I used to have a website like you, then I took an arrow to the knee. Not ones to let that stop us, we decided to release a new site. New look, new content, new stress, now released!
