VBS3Fires v3.6.3 User Guide

This will create a firesOptions.xml file in your VBS3Fires user directory. Copying this file from

that directory to the myData installation directory will apply those settings to all users who

haven’t explicitly overwritten with their own settings.

26.4 Radio Nets

The radioNets.dat file can be used to define the radio nets for a given scenario. The specific details

of the radioNets.dat file contents are covered in the ‘defining a scenario’ section of the manual.

When loading the radioNets.dat file, VBS3Fires will first try to read the file from the current mission

directory. If there is no such file in the mission directory, it will attempt to read it from the myData

directory, before finally using the default radio net.

The loading order for radio nets is:

1. Attempt to load from Mission directory %USERPROFILE%\Documents\VBS3\[Mission

directory]\radioNets.dat

2. Attempt to load from myData directory [InstallDir]\myData\ radioNets.dat

3. Use default values

26.5 General Ballistics Data

The following files allow ballistics data for a mission to be defined. Changes to these files will affect

the ballistic trajectory of all projectiles in a VBS3Fires scenario. For each of these files, the loading

order is:

1. Attempt to load from mission directory

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\VBS3\[Mission directory]\<filename>

2. Attempt to load from myData directory [InstallDir]\myData\<filename>

3. Use default values

The data specified in these files is used to simulate the actual trajectory of rounds, and it is also send

to all of the battery Fire Control computers simulated by VBS3Fires, so that these factors are

accounted for when planning the trajectory of a projectile.
