Bonus Downloads
This Bonus Material page offers some free stuff to help you with your project. It includes useful examples, starting points, and tools we want to share with you. We believe this material is much more useful to our customers rather than sitting around gathering dust. We will continue to add content as we find more useful bits to share.
Material on this page is free for you to download and use, but is not supported by MAK. Each download package may have further restrictions; please make sure you read and understand the individual license documents associated with each download.
The MAK FOM Editor
The MAK FOM Editor is a standalone application that allows users to develop or extend HLA Federation Object Models (FOMs). You can load an existing FOM to visualize, extend, or modify it. If you want to create a new module based on an existing FOM, you can use the tool to start from the RPR FOM or the NETN FOM.
This tool was developed entirely as an internal MAK project using Artificial Intelligence. We used AI to build it, and we continue to use AI to extend and maintain it. As a result, it has some quirks. The tool is not documented and is not formally supported.
The editor is available free of charge for use in your project, but it comes without warranty or any commitment to address issues you may encounter. It is subject to the MAK EULA. If you find issues or would like to request new features, please submit your feedback through the MAK Support portal. We may address requests if time permits.
Updates are provided periodically. If the application is running on a machine with internet access, it will automatically check for available updates.
What rights do I have to use the MAK FOM Editor?
The MAK FOM Editor (its code, binaries, UI design, documentation format, and branding) is owned by MAK Technologies and licensed to you under the MAK End User License Agreement (EULA) found here: http://mak.com/EULA.
The Federation Object Models (FOMs) you import, author, extend, or export with the tool are your property (or your organization’s), except where they incorporate or derive from a third party or reference/“seed” FOM. In those cases, the original seed’s license and attribution obligations continue to apply to the derived portions. For example, if you base work on the RPR FOM, your derivative elements remain subject to the RPR FOM’s licensing terms. You are responsible for complying with any upstream license when redistributing a derivative FOM. MAK makes no claim of ownership over any FOMs or derivative artifacts created or modified using this application. The tool does not silently transmit, register, or assert rights over your model content.
Use of the software is at your own risk and it is provided “as is,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement. Review the MAK EULA before using. Optional—but appreciated—notification of adoption can be sent to
The MAK ONE HLA Spy
The MAK ONE HLA Spy is a tool for monitoring HLA traffic for MAK ONE-based federations. It monitors a subset of RPR FOM entities and interactions, as well as extensions from NETN and MAK FOM modules. The current version supports HLA Evolved and HLA 4 for both the MAK ONE 2024 and MAK ONE 2025 object models. Updates may be posted periodically to add support for more object and interaction classes.
MAK High Performance RTI
The MAK RTI (Run-Time Infrastructure) is the fastest way for High Level Architecture (HLA) compliant simulations to communicate. Efficient and easy to use, the MAK RTI keeps CPU, bandwidth and memory requirements to an absolute minimum to maximize performance. This link lets you download the complete, released version of the MAK RTI. This unlicensed version is intended to help you get started with development and testing in your homes or labs. It is not for use in deployed systems. Use of this version is limited to federates connecting only two federates. All features are included without having to obtain a license key.
Network Utilities for Infrastructure Testing
NetUtils is a package of several VR-Link example programs which are useful for debugging simulation network connectivity problems. The package includes a small sample federate called F18 which simulates a simple F18 object circling in the Pacific. Other tools include a packet dump utility for DIS, and an Object/Interaction update tool for HLA.
These tools are provided as pre-compiled binaries only. You may use them for network debugging only without charge. Because they are free, and freely available, we ask that you do not redistribute them. Rather, if you would like to share them please direct interested parties to this site for download.
Qt Toolkit
Qt is an open source (LGPL) software library for cross-platform GUI development developed and supported by Digia. MAK uses Qt in all of our products. We slightly modify the libraries before using them so that the libraries are linked with the versions embedded in the library name. This prevents conflicts between products which use different versions of Qt.
The download page has links to Qt 5.15.2 and earlier for several different platforms. If you need an older version, please contact
