| | Calytrix Wins US Army's Games For Training Contract In June 2013, the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) awarded the Games For Training (GFT) contract to provide program management and delivery of a U.S. Army-wide enterprise level license for a game-based training solution for up to five years. Calytrix is the prime contractor for GFT, partnering with Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim), Alelo, and SimCentric. Both Calytrix and BISim played important roles in the successful delivery of the predecessor program, "Game After Ambush!" The award of GFT is a natural progression in delivering high quality game-based training to the U.S. Army. As the prime contractor, Calytrix is responsible for delivering the required software, training and technical support. Calytrix's CEO, Shawn Parr, said “Calytrix is very proud to have been selected as the prime for GFT. The effective training of soldiers is an extremely important task and Calytrix doesn’t take its responsibility to the U.S. Army lightly. We will provide the best possible management, software and training to support the Army’s warfighters.” Calytrix is in the process of opening a new office in Orlando in order to best support the U.S. Army. - - - [read more] |

 | Calytrix's CNR-Sidetone electronic "audio realism" device has been enhanced with a Microphone Boost circuit. This user-switchable addition lets CNR-Sidetone be used with microphones having a high or low level output signal. An example "low output" mic is the military standard H-250 (shown). Have you wanted to use a Mil handset/headset with CNR (and VBS2, Steel Beasts, etc)? Now you can. - - - [read more] | ||

| Configuring CNR-Sim To Start The Way You Want CNR-Sim offers significant startup flexibility, allowing administrators to control how CNR-Sim starts and runs. On the same network, it's possible to start many CNR-Sims where each starts differently. It's also possible to create several startup shortcuts to make it easy to use CNR-Sim at different times in different configurations. This tech note provides an overview of CNR-Sim's startup options. There are at least four ways to start CNR-Sim:
Starting CNR-Sim from a command line provides the most flexibility and control over CNR-Sim's starting mode and operation. Command line options, also known as "switches" or "flags" to programmers, cause CNR-Sim to start with those options enabled. Startup options are activated by including one or more switches (flags) in the command line. The switch (flag) is a text string preceded by "--" (two dashes) followed by a control parameter. Here is a command line example that starts CNR-Sim in Restricted Mode, blocking the end-user from accessing CNR-Sim's GUI configuration panels, thereby preventing trainees from changing preset values: C:\Program Files (x86)\Calytrix Technologies\CNR\CNR-Sim.exe --restricted True Here is a command line example that starts CNR-Sim with the user on the Ocean Sharks team using communications Channels that were preset for that team: C:\Program Files (x86)\Calytrix Technologies\CNR\CNR-Sim.exe --team "Ocean Sharks"
