Here some news about 1.0.0 release :) http://lotatc.dartsite.org/news/43

For sure, the 1.0.0 will provide bi-directional chat between ALL controllers and ALL pilots. That is already works well. I hope to be able to do same thing, but only between same coalition: blue controllers with blue pilots, and red controllers with red pilots. :) Last step will be controller to a specific pilot (uni-directional only). The first case is already done, the second and third is in progress (do not know if it was be available for 1.0.0 final)

I had an option in next 1.0.0 to transform any plane (AI or human) in virtual AWACS, not the best solution, but it could helps ;) Thanks for your support! :)

Finally, I have implement it, just give a template name in server like "MyAWACS" and all units with this name become a virtual awacs in LotAtc. Their range is customisable too on server. of course by default it is disabled (to avoid cheating). Will be available in future 1.0.0 ;)

I like this idea, I will see how to do that with LotAtc (and how to secure, for PvP it must be secure :) )

Yes it should be possible, by tweaking DCS lua files, you can transform it in AWACS :) I am not sure however how DCS will react... It should be tested before :D I could add a way to do it by searching a specific tag on unit name too... :book: If this is something interesting for you, I can go further to see how to do that.

Bonne chance à tous! :)

Exactly! :megalol:

Email sent ;)

I hate when something crashing especially when this is my software ^^ Note that some crashes seems to be caused by LotAtc but are not, when DCS is crashing, it crash LotAtc too... That is why logs are important, I can analyse them and see generally what it is really happens :)

I do the best to avoid it, but it could happens in rare cases on disconnect... There is a better secure mechanism for future release. LotAtc is a complex piece of software and even if it is stable, there is still some strange case that causes crash. If it happens, get the logs and send them to me...

LotAtc is a client + server software witch is connected with DCS and provide users to get an ATC/CGI view of the battle. With it, people can have a real radar picture of the current battle and give instructions to pilots for engagement as in real life. You have a video here: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/projects/lotatc/wiki/Documentation Thank you! LotAtc take me lot of time of research and development and I am very happy to see real ATC love it :) For your group servers, do you use SLMod or Servman? If yes, there is a patch to apply (by default some modified files are in conflict) see there: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/projects/lotatc/wiki/Server_FAQ#SLmod-compatibility-I-want-to-use-SLmod-and-LotAtc-4-DCS-server-together I hope before end of November... But it will depends of DCS 2.0 release... ;)

Please ask if you want more explanation or if you have another question, do not hesitate. :)

It is too complex to extract exactly the same thing than DCS Fog of war, but the realistic mode is more realist than it in fact. All range for radar is been extracted from DCS database and LotAtc manages dead angle for them. See there for more explanation: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/projects/lotatc/wiki/Detection_Profiles :)

The first alpha version for my beta tester team has been released last week, so after a busy development summer, I begin the stabilisation/cosmetic/bug fixes pass. The final release will certainly come before end of November, it will also depend of DCS 2.0 release schedule too. I have no access to the DCS test version, I need to wait the official release to test and adapt LotAtc to it :/ In all case, it will come, I am currently work a lot on it. I will post some screenshot of the current version in some days. :)

Congrats ! :)

Here some news of the development of the 1.0.0! More information and detailled features for 1.0.0 with screenshots here: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/news/42

:thumbup:

I check your logs, it seems that LotAtc is disabled in options (to be confirmed). Try to run DCS World, go in Options -> Special -> LotAtc 4 DCS ( see here ), click on enabled (if already enabled, click 2 times, one to disable, second to re-enable). Sometimes, options is badly save in DCS, and disabled then enabled LotAtc is a solution. Try and let me know ;)

Thank you. I am the team, I am the only developer for LotAtc. ;) However, I have a (great) team to help me for bugs/quality/support/documentation, but for coding, I am alone and it is only on night time :)

I working hardly on it but it will take me lot of time. I hope to have something at end of September (just for idea, can be before or after, depending of lot of things). The airport part is a very complex, I am currently try to manage correctly all airports with precision and fix magnetic deviation error. Lot of things is already working (shared drawing, new UI on client, maps optimisation, airports datas extracted from DCS, custom profile on server) but all approach part is under progress. :) Be sure LotAtc 1.0.0 is coming, just need some time to be developed correctly as previous version :)

Your installation is ok, all seems correctly setup. It seems that LotAtc crashes with the boat ticonderog on sensors detection... Very strange, first time I see that. I will make some tests and code review to understand why it causes crash (and why it does not crash on others computer). Thanks for the full report, very useful !

Ok :) Yes, I can easily add these features :) add them in the todolist. :thumbup:

Thanks a lot! Very happy to know that you love it! :thumbup: Sorry, but what stands for B/E ? By developing LotAtc, I found that there is a lot of terms that are different on each country, I prefer to understand correctly what you would like :) I spend lot of time in DCS to extract better weather datas. For dynamic, it is very complex because I have only access to raw datas (depression position and size) and it is not really usable at this moment, so no better support for dynamic weather for next release (except changes in DCS of course). For static weather, it will updated for the 1.0.0 release, better UI than 0.9.2 view (with correct fix for QNH) Yes, me and my underground team would like to make some but we have not found time yet. I am agree with you, operational manual will be a great value!

One year One year after the first release (0.8.0), I release the 0.9.2. Minor version, but still lot of new features inside! Fix for incomplete picture in client that appears with DCS 1.2.8. There is also lot of fix/enhancement for BRAA. You can add/manage bookmarks for server Add the vertical indicator (show arrow for altitude variation) see changelog & screenshots below... Changelog: Better chat notification (sound notification) Chat list not scrolled Memorize last servers and associated passwords (bookmark) Add Labels attributes list directly in LotAtc Client New variable %(vert_indic) for aircraft labels Add %(vert_indic) to default labels [*]BRAA add ability to display/hide individually text-on-map UI Note: Documentation is not fully updated to this version yet, it will come in next days. DOWNLOAD HERE: Download Some screenshots More here: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/news/41 Next? The next main release will be the 1.0.0 with share drawing support, Glide ILS support, a new client UI, new options for server... Lot of these are already coded and will be stabilised in next weeks The full approach with taxiways/tower view will certainly postponed in 1.1.0 because I am waiting the EDGE released to make all airports correctly. It is a change from my initial roadmap but I prefer to release the drawing part that is already ready with the updated UI of client, then concentrate my work on EDGE support (multi-map). Here some screenshots of the current 1.0.0-alpha1. UI is far to be finished but it will give you a good preview of my current work, no fake in that, all of feature shown in theses screenshots already works!
