It doesn't... for me? Same empty list of bookmarks as in my previous reply. In any case, seems that other people already brought it to Baltic's attention.

I'm going by the file on the /Mods/aircraft/F-15E/Doc folder in DCS (from yesterday's release 22.06.2023) It doesn't have.

The manual is wonderful! But I would like to put up a suggestion that will make our lives so much easier when navigating it. Right now the manual have a table of contents, but normally when exporting it to PDF (I am assuming the source content is in MS Word) it does not generate bookmarks by default for the ToC. This can easily be enabled by doing this flow on MS Word: NOTE - this will work only if the headings of the sections were created by applying the heading structure in the MS Word instead of being just plain text (which I assume it is the case, given there is already a table of contents in place). Make sure the Table of Contents is updated before exporting it. File -> Save As (PDF) or File -> Export -> Create PDF/XPS Document On the Save As dialog, click Options On the Options dialog, mark the "Create bookmarks using" checkbox And thats it. While we're at it, maybe play with the compression / image quality options as well since the cockpit screenshots look a little blurry, although that may increase the size of the file too much and not be desirable. Thanks!

Ha! Great spot! You can see then by this thread how many of us tried to max-speed the jet on release

Attached track. In this case I air-spawned clean on Caucasus, running max afterburner. Once the CFTs deplete fuel indicator goes to zero and fuel flow on ENG display goes negative as @RazerVon screenshot. F15E fuel bug zero.trk

Hi @Lord Vader. Thanks for replying. The strangeness to me is that, initially, all steerpoints are zeroed out in the jet, and in a practical sense they don't exist, as in, they do not appear on the HSD or anywhere else in the avionics. However if you enter a coordinate but then later zero out the values as they were before, the state is not restored to what was before. As the two pictures I attach here: The first one showing correctly the STPT 7 I added to the "Ready on Ramp" mission. Lets say I inputted coordinates there by mistake, even after I zero out all values, it still shows as part of the flight plan pointing somewhere 3500 miles away. Its not about erasing the STPT 7 from the list of waypoints because, as you said correctly, that is impossible. All steerpoints from 1 to 699 "exist" in the jet, but as they have zero values they do not participate in the avionics in any shape or form.

Somehow it is not possible to fully delete a steerpoint once its entered. Steps to reproduce: - Enter the F-16 on the "Ready on Ramp" mission - Enter the STPT page (ICP 4) and scroll to the next blank steerpoint (in this case steerpoint 7) - Enter the coordinate to Sochi (i.e. N 43.26.661 E 039.56.464 elevation 98ft) - Note on the HSD that the steerpoint line extends correctly to the location. - Now back to STPT page and waypoint 7, zero all the fields (i.e. set to N 00.00.000 E 000.00.000 elevation 0) - Note on the HSD that the line now extends infinitely to some location outside of the map. The workaround is to overwrite that ghost steerpoint with the location of the previous one, but that is obviously not an optimal solution.

@WHOGX5 @Biggus Happy you and your friends like it! This is the Discord link: https://discord.gg/saCACg99EZ. Please feel free to join and opine on the structure of the Discord server itself. Upon the next release I will update the first post, and probably record a new video explaining how it works.

Sup everyone. Sorry for the blackout. Things in life happened and I ended up taking a break from DCS for a while. The break then got longer, then longer, and then longer until now. I did not had headspace to think about this, but I should have at least left some message here. In any case, this is done in a completely voluntary basis. I added p-louis way back as a contributor to the repository since he volunteered to implement the Hornet and the Apache, and I can see he has done a lot in that regard. I will try to dedicate time to support what has been done and improve in any way that could be done, but the primary module I fly is the F-16 so that is where I spent more time developing. Now I want to address some topics: - Error about TCP connection on port 43001 The DTC software works this way: It has a bidirectional connection to DCS, to send and to receive data. To receive data, the DCS lua script opens a UDP port 43000, which the DTC software reads. This port is only read when doing waypoint capture from DCS. On the other hand, to send data, the DCS lua script opens a TCP port 43001, and the DTC software tries to connect to this port when doing the upload to jet. If the DCS lua script does not create the port, the DTC software will error when trying connect to it. Therefore the most common reason for this error is just an improper installation of the LUA script in the Saved Games folder. If you follow the install instructions it should work. This is the same way other mods that needs to read/send data to DCS work. - Virus warnings Virus detection is a complex subject and the antivirus tools uses a series of heuristics to flag an executable as malicious. For example, the fact it needs to connect to the lua script may be a factor to flag it. Also there is no installer and Windows tends to flag executables downloaded from the internet as suspicious. Its a fact people use liberally other mods (from DCS and other games) without checking its source code and the reason they do not get flagged is just because an installer is used... and thats fine because security is also a function of the perceived trust and the empirical evidence of the software actually doing something weird. To be honest, the safest way if you are paranoid is to never download any executable from the internet at all, but who lives like that? In any case the DTC code is open and anyone can always inspect it and/or compile on your own machine if you are willing to go to that length. Or... not use it at all. With that said, I will investigate adding an installer if this just means making it less bothersome for people who actually wants to use it. I've inspected the latest version of the code and there is nothing implemented beyond the purpose of the software. - Discord I am considering opening a Discord server dedicated to this mod, so people can discuss it, suggest features and support each other. Is it something worthwhile? I would like feedback on this. Cheers.

I'll just leave this out of context quote right here

Sure, let me submit again to Microsoft. In any case, you can always download the source code from Github and compile yourself. I have no means of preventing Windows Defender as marking anything as a trojan beyond submitting the file to them.

Released new version - 3.2.0 https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc/releases/tag/3.2.0 New features You can now select granularly which parts of the DTC are uploaded to the jet. Besides every item in every page there is a checkbox that, once selected, will mark that item to be sent to the jet. These selections are saved in the presets. Credits to @supahfly27. Global shortcut for uploading to jet (useful for VR users): On dcs-settings.json, there is a new setting named "UploadHotKey" by default set to RCtrl+Backspace. Valid values for the UploadHotKey setting: Up to three modifiers (LCtrl, RCtrl, LAlt, RAlt, LShift, RShift) plus a key from the Keys enumeration of Windows Forms (https://docs.microsoft.com/pt-br/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.keys?view=windowsdesktop-6.0). For example, Right Control + Right Alt + Backspace should be "RCtrl+RAlt+Back". The hotkey is enabled only when Upload to Jet page of a preset is open. Updated airbases.json to include new airfields on Syria - Credits to FireNLD from ED Forums.

How would you be able to guide using radar alone against, lets say, a BTR in the middle of a dense city, with all sorts of obstacles and clutter. Will the radar be able to precisely guide in that situation? We will only know when its implemented. But I am pretty sure the radar is not magic.

No but you can already save files and send those files to other people. All they have to do is use the app to open the files and upload to the jet. Or, you can use the copy to clibpoard function and send to them... no files needed. I dont know how to get more easier than this. Last time I checked there was not a reliable way to enter these via lua scripting. You have to be on specific modes to be able to input that kind of data, and its not easy to erase/redo if you apply a second time. Remember this is a hack, honestly I am amazed I've been able to do all of this with the little that its possible in terms of lua scripting. Will look into it.

Let me break news to you. Things take effort and time to be built.

Can you PM me any details, like screenshots of the error or something? @Floydii Suggestions noted

Uploaded a new version: https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc/releases/tag/3.1.0 If this is your first time downloading it, check github frontpage for installation instructions. New features Added Bullseye waypoint number All settings on Upload page now are saved to the preset Added Minimize button to the main screen Bugfixes Fixed error uploading CMS settings to the jet (Note - I already submitted the file to MS for whitelisting on Windows Defender. I am suspicious that, just because its a zip downloaded from a website, Windows is being extra-suspicious of it. Therefore you can try, after downloading the zip, right-click Properties and then mark Unblock and OK.)

Well thats 100% intented actually. Things only work if you are in NAV mode. You see that I am checking there on the DED mode page if you are in either AA or AG mode, if yes, then I abort the process and nothing will happen. So you know what to do - just be in NAV mode.

Found the bug, thanks. I can't set to NAV because there is no NAV button on the F-16. You go to NAV by exiting other master modes. However one thing I do is check that if you are not in NAV mode, nothing gets applied for the MFDs. At least its how its working on my computer. Can you submit a video?

Haha thanks! Will look into VIP and VRP for sure. I can only configure things that are available in the cockpit. There are some CMDS settings that can only be done by editing the sim files, like DICE does. So if you care about that, its no problem, you can use both alongside, just dont apply CMS settings from DTC.

Should be good to go. Make sure you update your Windows Defender definitions.

PM or Discord (The_Paid_Actor#1368) Its weird how it works... First time I download from Github and it works fine, then I think someone downloads it and Defender flags it, get its signature sent to Microsoft so then next time I try again to download it mine also flags But I have some ideas on how to make the distribution process smoother.

I submitted to Microsoft so they can analyze it and whitelist it, maybe take a day or so. I'll message you once its done.
