Jacks Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I would like to running an idea past the experts to check it viability. I would like to see a mod for a hand launcher mini UAV like the desert hawk. The UAV would be launched by a JTAC and then controlled using the F10 map to give it waypoint and an altitude to fly just like any other AI unit. The UAV would feed a camera picture back to the JTAC using either the A-10C's TGP feed or the Skhval feed to keep thing s simple. The JTAC would have this feed in the corner of his screen so he could continue to do JTACy things but he would be able to control the UAV's sensor, controlling the pan and zoom. The JTAC could also select a 'SPI' for to camera to look at. The UAV would also have an IR capability so it could operate at night and a laser designator. I think that a mini UAV would be a great tool for a JTAC and allow quick aerial recce close to battle. Does this sound like a viable and achievable mod? 1 System Specs: i7 8700k @ 5.0GHz (not delidded), ASRock Extreme4 Z370 MOBO, EVGA GTX 1080 SC 8GB, 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz DDR4 RAM, Samsung Evo 240GB SSD, Samsung Evo 500GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Noctura NH-D15S Heat Sink, Acer VE278H 27" 1080p Monitor, Ocukus Rift CV1. Controllers: TrackIR 5, Thrustmaster HOTAS X, Saitek Throttle Quadrant (with DIY removable collective mod), Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals. Just trying to keep my number of takeoffs and landings equal!
Griffon26 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Hey jacks, im not a modder and I cannot say if thats difficult to do but I can say that this would be a really nice Idea! A hand launched UAV would be awesome. Maybe It could be handled like in ARMAII where you can set the Waypoints and the Camera view manually. You can illuminate targets with your Laser and help a10s su25s etc to get those targets down. Great Idea! :thumpsup: Regards Griffon26 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Never parachute into an area you've just bombed You never have too much fuel, unless you burn.
pepin1234 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Yes I like this idea. I love do CAS with Su-25A and last time I notice something is not going on. We need a mini UAV, yes we need. I really hopeful with The DCS World 2 engine to see all the stuffs that is capable this new GE. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EngineerFalcon Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 A drone for the JTAC with laser designation capability ? That definitely sounds doable, and is also a very good idea !
LeVince Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 It's possible for ED , but impossible as a simple mod like a plane or a truck... But thats a nice idea :) Elève Su-25 EVAC
