- VT MAK releases VR-Link 5.4.1
- April 29 - (Product Release)
- To reduce jitter for customers using asynchronous network reads in DIS, incoming PDUs are timestamped on network read. Positions are then Dead Reckoned backwards when decoded to account for time spent in the asynchronous network read queue. This change only affects Relative Timestamped PDUs. This change should reduce jitter on stable networks for fast moving entities operating in Relative Timestamp mode.
