ergn Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Hi, When I play in the F-15C, my situational awareness is horrible. For improvement, I developed a simple TAD view. It includes a PC application and an (optional) Android application. Android application uses a service similar to Apple's bonjour, so no IP configuration is required. I do not consider this as cheating, because I think the real F-15 has some kind of TAD :). All the details are in github page. For convenience, I also uploaded binaries to DCS website. The app has nothing specific to F-15, so it can potentially run with all modules, but for some reason DCS api does not export proper routes. I also confirm the script does not break Tacview. --Update 0.2.2 * Easier integration with existing export scripts. * Right-click drag to resize window. --Update 0.2.1 * Remove destroyed aircraft from the view. * Added exception handling to export script. --Update 0.2.0 * Added allied flights to TAD view Edited February 21, 2015 by ergn New version info 2 TAD for DCS F15C DCS DOTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmstewart64 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Would it work with the Mig 21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergn Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Would it work with the Mig 21? I don't have that module. It worked with F-15, SU-27 but did not work with A-10C. It reads LoGetRoute() function and I suspect it only returns data for LockOn modules. TAD for DCS F15C DCS DOTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt_Baker Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I can only imagine how great the F15C would be in this game with a fully functional TAD....or something even close. I concur. Coming from the A-10C, the F-15 is something of a shock to the system. Keep flying in bloomin' circles, I'm sure. :pilotfly: UltraMFCD 3.0 in the works. https://ultramfcd.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkroyale048 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've always wondered where I can get the image on the right. Is there a way for me to access the one on the right on my virtual cockpit rather than exporting it ? It gives tremendous amount of SA as an F-15C operator can figure out where exactly he is in relation to the waypoints via visual cues.

arkroyale048 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 What I meant is... without the use of the app... or any exporting... I want to be able to access the same screen (the one on the right). On my virtual F-15C cockpit (meaning on my main screen). Because clearly; I've never seen that screen before. Nowhere on any of the displays on the F-15C *screenshot attached for reference. TL;DR I want to have the image on the right (the one with the navpoints shown) On any (or possibly on the left MFD) of my F-15 virtual cockpit.

That display is not a part of the F-15 module, and without any exporting I doubt it is possible. You can display the window on the main screen, (instead of second monitor) but it will be an overlay and will not follow head movements.

TAW_Blaze Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Here's an idea: If you could somehow put the map behind all of this that would make it even better. I think there are probably ways to sync them so they work appropriately, but I'm not sure how :) Once you got that you could add other points of interests such as airfields, bullseye, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowLee Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Great ergn!!! Finally an android application! @blaze: You cannot export the bullseye or the airports...it is a limit of the export.lua.. To solve the problem, some time ago I developed a pseudo-cdu for FC3. You can insert the BE coordinates and it shows the bearing and the range in real time, and some other information. If you understand italian you can download it here: http://www.36stormovirtuale.net/Forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=qt4r1revmvkeisromv39fh5u26&topic=16883.0 Ergn if you want you can use my export file which contains various info about the coordinates of the airports ;) Fletto i muscoli...e sono nel vuoto [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hi ERGN, can you help me to merge your export with a helios export, please? I'm not so good with LUA and I have multiple things that need an export.lua now. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergn Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Hi ERGN, can you help me to merge your export with a helios export, please? I'm not so good with LUA and I have multiple things that need an export.lua now. I realised that requirement when I saw scripts from Tacview and @LowLee I updated the package and original post. It should be much easier now. Just copy line from Export.lua to the end of your Export.lua. Details are in the readme file. I haven't used helios, so I didn't test with it. I guess you will be the first to test compatibility :). Edited February 20, 2015 by ergn TAD for DCS F15C DCS DOTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTJS17_Fire Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi ergn, could you add a function, which export waypoints from other (ground)units? So, we could visualize our own waypoints (for a CAP for instance) and other (used as FAOR). That would be great!

Kind regards, Fire Hi, I checked the API functions, but could not find any data about waypoints of other objects. It is possible to add friendly ground unit positions as dots or small squares but the performance may begin to drop while exporting large number of objects.

Thanks Thise instructions are required only if you are building from the source. If you downloaded the package from the github releases page, you should follow those instructions. If you downloaded from the DCS website, that only includes compiled jars and you can follow the instructions in the readme file inside the package. 1 TAD for DCS F15C DCS DOTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
