Web Simulations Ships its First Product:
ACM for Windows

Sophisticated Internet-ready Flight Simulator
Available as Complete Source Code

RICHARDSON, TX. - October 7, 1997 - Web Simulations, Inc., announced today the release of its first product, ACM for Windows. This modern air combat simulation allows multiple players to fly F-16 Falcon or MiG-29 Fulcrum fighters over a shared, Internet-based battlefield.

ACM is the first consumer-oriented simulation to support the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol. DIS is an open standard originally sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense. Use of DIS allows simulations written by different vendors to interact in a common virtual world.

Web Simulations has married the DIS protocol with Microsoft's DirectPlay network gaming software. The company intends to publish information about its layering of DIS and DirectPlay to allow other game vendors to create a completely new class of consumer simulations that would interoperate with one another.

ACM for Windows is also unique in that it is available in complete source code form. "There are a lot of sophisticated PC flight simulation hobbyists in the world today", says Riley Rainey, author of ACM for Windows. "By exposing the whole of a large simulation, we're encouraging them to tinker at a whole new level".
