Telestra FAQ

How can I change my Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) settings to meet Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) requirements?

DMO has special rules regarding time stamps and how often a radio should publish Transmitter (Tx) protocol data units (PDUs) to the network. DMO uses an absolute time stamp instead of a relative time stamp. To view current DMO requirements, go to the Combat Air Force-Distributed Mission Operations (CAF-DMO) standard.

To modify this setting, open Studio. From the left sidebar, go to servers, and choose a DIS gateway. Select Edit File, and add the following line to the [general] section:

timestamp = absolute

To change the Transmitter PDU publishing rates, edit the parameters.ini file, located in your project's domain. From the left sidebar, go to domains, and choose a domain. To alter when a radio sends a Tx PDU to the network, edit the following lines:

[general]
	; meters
	moving_threshold = XXX

	; milliseconds
	moving_timeout = XXX
	normal_timeout = XXX
