Comrade Doge

Hello again, I have taken a look at the Hornet again, I attempted a fix for when the 1st waypoint might not work, download the newest release here: https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay/releases/tag/v1.1.1 Replace your existing TheWay.exe with the new one

I will take a look at the Hornet part, I will try to improve the waypoints accuracy as well in the next versions Unfortunately I don't think DCS allows entering waypoints in FC3 planes, they have to be setup in the mission editor prior to flying...

1st waypoint should be reserved for the INS if I recall correctly... But if that's not the case, I can take a look if you could send a video to see....

Did you download the latest version? Support for Hornet was added only in the newest one

Aha I see what you mean... Will be interesting to see what that approach offers

Greetings! Not sure I understand... What do you mean by a mod type?

That is a good idea as well, I've put it on the list! Thanks for the idea

Hello! Haha yes I am aware of that, Nevada is the exception where it doesn't work well, I plan a fix in the future for it, where you select the map you are in, or if the lua scrips allow, find the map you are in automatically. I tested it only on what I had, namely PG and Syria, and it works fine there as they use N and E, but Nevada does not. Thanks for the input!

VR is not supported currently, because I do not own VR hardware so I cannot develop for it...

Hello everyone again. thanks for all your feedback. I hereby announce the next version of DCS: The Way, coming with support for the F/A-18 Hornet. Check this release out, and if you are updating from an older version, only replace your existing TheWay.exe file with the new one downloaded from here: https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay/releases/tag/v1.1.0 Many thanks to @Kerbo 416 for helping with the testing.

Very attentive observations there. Indeed if you notice the last digit is always 0, this is due to the conversation algorithm I devised for coordinates, that ought to be improved. As for OCR, I am not using that method, I taking the coordinates directly from the game, and injecting the key presses as well... As for more modules, I got the Hornet ready and will release the update today

All you need is the Saved Games folder DCS uses, and you know that if you find the DCS.openbeta folder already there with the game files. If you find that one, that's the right one. Other than that I'm not sure what else is there to do, this is a pretty unique situation.

Well... Not sure how your file structure looks like, but you have to find the Saved Games folder Windows has created, and in which the DCS.openbeta folder already exists, and has files from the game there. Not a DCS.openbeta folder you create somewhere else... Hope this information helps

Oh nonono, you are not in the right folder. You must be in Users/ (your username here) /Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Scripts. It seems you are in Users/Saved games/DCS.openbeta/Scripts which is wrong. Did you create the Saved games folder yourself? If yes, then that's wrong, go to the path I provided above, you should find the folders already present, except maybe the Scripts folder and, of course, the lua files.

Can you show me a screenshot of the Scripts folder contents so I can double check?

To create the Export.lua file inside Saved Games/DCS/Scrips, you simply right click, New, Text Document, then type Export and replace .txt with .lua . Having created the file, just paste inside the single line from the github instructions page.

Hello. first of all, do not copy the Scripts folder from your DCS install, if it doesn't exist inside Saved Games. Simply create the Scripts folder yourself, make sure it's inside Saved Games/DCS/Scripts or Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Scripts if you are on the openbeta version of the game. There, paste the TheWay.lua file, and create your own Export.lua file which includes only that line you were instructed to attach at the end of it. Again, don't copy or edit the Scripts folder from your DCS install, as you did, kindly revert what you did and do as I instructed. This way it should work properly. Let me know if you still have difficulties

Hornet progress is coming along well, just needs a bit more testing.

That is an interesting idea for sure! Gonna note that

As much as I would like to, I don't currently own any VR gear and I'm not familiar with it so that I can develop for it...

Ah I see, you pressed select points on the map, but nothing happened. Have you copied the .lua file in the right directory? Also appended the needed code in the Export.lua file, as per install instructions here? https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay/tree/HornetSupport#how-to-install You have to install the software properly for it to work. If the waypoints aren't being selected it's most likely because you haven't placed the lua files properly

Yes, please include them ED!

Have you actually selected points on the map prior? The transfer button is greyed out until you have something to actually transfer. Please refer to the instructions on how to use in the github for more details...

Just to make sure you are looking in the right place, as per the instructions in the github, head to the Releases section here https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay/releases/tag/v1.0.0 and download the .zip file, extract it to where you see fit, and you will find the TheWay.exe file there

Hello, thanks for the appreciation... Kindly check the Releases section in github, download the release zip file named TheWay.zip, extract it to a convenient place, and you will find the .exe and the .lua files you need there
