I've set LotAtc to "Show enemies parameters (name,type,...)" to No.

Still it shows enemy names. In some cases this is pretty bad as the flights are called F-15 Sweep or something like that. I know i change the labels in options but thats not really what i want.

 

I'd like to be able to set so every new contact is unknown to the LotAtc operator so that he might task a flight to go and check it out.

What profile do you use in DCS options for LotAtc? You must use custom profile to activate the options below this choice. If you have another profile, LotAtc will use default options for this profile.

 

Use realistic profile to have all ENI without their names and realistic radar envelope, it is in this mode that LotAtc give the better experience and the most realistic. :)

I ran Custom settings but after switching to realistic it worked.. Strange.

They do however get automatically assigned as enemy flight. Red color.

 

Yes, as DCS does not manage IFF, I take the decision to make the same thing to be coherent with DCS. I think that it is not a good thing to have controller that do not know if aircraft in front of the pilot is friend or not, and the pilot with Mig29 datalink (or F-15 IFF) that has the information...

 

However, I can evolve LotAtc to manage correctly this by making all aircraft unknown as start, but without IFF support in DCS, it still not coherent with DCS... If DCS manages correctly IFF, be sure that LotAtc will do the same.

 

I will check for the custom settings, probably a bug :)

Hello DArt, I'm running beta 7 and the server right now is on basic detection mode but my client keeps seeing it as arcade mode, is there a config I missed?

 

Also to mention, I am running LotATC with Servman3. I am having issues with the LotATC blue and red passwords. After editing servman_server.lua as per the LotATC manual, the LotATC server it no longer recognizes the passwords assigned.

 

Right now the passwords are in

 

{UserHome}/Saved Games/DCS/mods/tech/lotatc/config.lua

 

and

 

DCS World\scripts\addons\servman\serman_server.lua

 

 

Which does LotATC recognize now?

Speed is life !!!

Fir beta7+servman, use the servman patched file here: http://www.dartsite.org/download/lotatc/100/servman_server_1.0.0-beta7.zip (available in release post too on my website).

 

Is this one you use? If you take the one in the documentation, it is for 0.9.2 release and will not work for beta7. (I am currently update the documentation for 1.0.0, but it take time...)

 

Moreover, sometimes, there is a trouble when installing LotAtc server and defaults options, here a tip to fix that:

 

- Open DCS and go to Options -> LotAtc

- uncheck the enable checkbox of LotAtc

- Go back to main menu (no need to close DCS)

- Return to the options, and check enable LotAtc again

 

it will force LotAtc options to be registered in LotAtc.

1.0.0-beta7 is online: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/news/48

 

Let me know if you have crash on zoom in/out on client and ghost/duplicate label with humans too.

 

I can repro the crash on zoom in/out on the current beta7. Have to do it a few times. What logs/debugging do you want?

Send me by PM, mail ( lotatc at dartsite dot org ) the following (or post here if you prefer):

 

  • Specs of your computer (OS, CPU, RAM)
  • The LotAtc_client.log located near dcs.log in Saved Games/DCS/Logs

Some questions:

 

 

 

  1. Have you several layers displayed on map? (rivers, roads, relief...) If yes, try to reproduce with all layers deactivated (put slider to left in map options)
  2. What do you do to reproduce the crash?

 

 

Thanks a lot for your help ! :thumbup:

TAW.NET Dedicated server is testing out lotATC and this is an important step in the installation process! After installation you MUST go to the single player options and disable/enable lotATC once to get it working.

 

I also recommend disabling Servman first and using all default values on lotATC to test it working locally and then remotly first. After initial testing you can add Servman back in and redo the test.

 

Seems we have a working installation here as well DArt :)

Great :)

 

I will check if I can do something for this config installation problem. It does not occurs everytime, happen in some cases... Certainly a initialisation mistake on my side :)

Something to note whilst we test, which caused us confusion. The Server JSGME package and installer don't perform identical installs and there is an extra config in the user profile from the installer which doesn't of course happen with JSGME. The profile one is the most senior and takes precendence.

Let me pass details for ghosting and scroll crash to your email.

OK mail there.

Didn't install both, was the installer that had two configs.

Bit more testing. The ghosting is easy to repro, just disconnect and the aircraft labels remain in place after the disconnect. Reconnect, they remain. Should be easier now to nail that one.

 

Can't reproduce the zoom crash without the layers so far, additionally the logs I sent point to a layer type DLL so I think the clue is there.

Hi DArt,

A question if I may on track names vs Group names vs player names?

To me, the track names are appropriate IRL, but could there be an option for a group name variable for the friendly labels? This would provide call signs from the start by missions designer. Perhaps this is a simplification?

Right now a player name is OK, but if Busy I would want to change all those to the flight callsign so I could read them out or locate them? What is the real life process for ABM/WD's? Perhaps its also an additional request to consider a long list of all tracks that on clicking, centers on the track for easy picking and is a one stop shop for adding filtering, sorting by name, renaming etc. if you ever played a game called Eve Online,k it was pretty much similar.

For names, in realistic mode, I get pilot names for AI and human. But your remark is pertinent, I can display group names too. I will add a options for that.

 

I have planned in next version (after 1.0.0 release) to add a list of all contacts available with all you would like (filtering, properties, centering). :)

There is always trouble with LotAtc 1.0.0-beta 7 with crash/lags. I take time to search and I think that I have found the problem. I prepare a beta 8 during this weekend.

 

Note that the beta7 will stop working on February 15th. The beta8 will not have a time limit this time as the software begin to be more stable.

 

Thanks all for all reports I received !
