F-15 TEWS/RWR Export ?!

[ron533]

Hi,

I saw there is an un-maintained export mod/app for the F15 in the forums that can export the F15 RWR to Android devices by Leon Portman:

Another guy who used Leon Portman's code:

I was looking if there was export mod for the pc, but found none.

 

I was wondering if any talented dev here could use this code (withe the dev's permission of course) to enable exporting to the PC,

like the TAD for DCS is, which can export to Android and PC alike (Client-Server):

I've tried to emulate an Android device on PC to try and make it work - but failed.

On my phone it works, but I would rather have it run on my other monitor and not my phone...

 

Many thanks for the challenge takers...

Cheers :thumbup:

Leavu 2.1 works well in DCS World 1.5.1.

Thanks for the reference, didn't know about it at all...

 

I've tried this (was not a very straight forward installation...)

and did see the MFD with ADI and moved them around (read the manual).

But when DCS loaded - the displays were in the background (behind DCS) and I had to alt tab to see them.

Also couldn't find the keys to change pages in the MFD (don't have touch screen if it supports that).

How do you overcome those?

Manual didn't state alt tabbing and which keybindings to operate.

 

Seems a bit over done and complicated with all the changes made there, feels kind of cheating I'd say... installation also - not for the feint of heart...

 

I amlooking for a simple RWR and SMS/Weapons page export (the RWR sound enhancement in Leavu was nice though!)

but I'd use it if I could make it work fine,

until we find a better solution.

 

So the 'challenge' is still on :)

Three questions. Can I have Leavu not run the radar as I can do that with viewports. Will the Leavu weapons panel and RWR run in multiplayer?

 

I have net 2 and 4 installed, do I still need 3?

 

Finally, is it posible to get simpler instructions to get Leavu to work with Capt Z's helios F15 profile together with using the radar viewport?

 

PS: For someone living in Western Syberia Russia, your command of English is excellent. How is the weather?

All you need is the second monitor.

There are no cheats. Trust me... I decompiled and checked all java code inside the application

 

I amlooking for a simple RWR and SMS/Weapons page export (the RWR sound enhancement in Leavu was nice though!) but I'd use it if I could make it work fine, until we find a better solution.

 

This is your choice only, surely.

Good luck!

You can do anything you want...

In my case - no viewport is needed. RWR sound works too.

I used old profile for Helios in this video, so not all gauges is working.

 

 

I have net 2 and 4 installed, do I still need 3?

Nope. .Net 4 includes 3.0 and 3.5 frameworks.

 

Finally, is it posible to get simpler instructions to get Leavu to work with Capt Z's helios F15 profile together with using the radar viewport?

Yes I'm shure. But this process will be very time consuming...

 

How is the weather?

 

The weather is fine!

I used to live in Miami Florida USA where the average temp was 80 degrees F. I now live in Oregon USA where it is 25 degrees today.

What are the blue pails for? warming buckets?

I have a second monitor.

On the second monitor are the other exports defined as viewports in my monitor config file,

and the total resolution of DCS includes the other monitor ofcourse - to enable the viewport there.

so the LEAVU is always in the background behind the exports on the second monitor.

How can I force it to be always on top?

Thus i will see the exports I already have, and the LEAVU displays as well??

 

Can LEAVU coexist with other exports on the same monitor?

 

Thanks!

[Morkva_55]

I think no. Leavu offered me a quite functions. So I'm not using export.

Helios + Leavu - that's enough for me...

I find your instructions a little confusing. Could you please just list the instructions step by step, especially what files go where,

OK.

 

1.

 

Instal latest 32 bit x86 Sun JRE: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

 

2.

 

Copy [scripts] folder from Scripts.zip to yours [\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta] folder.

 

3.

 

Copy [Leavu] folder from LEAVU.zip to any place you want.

 

4. RTFM

 

5. Run [\LEAVU\Leavu\LEAVU2_F15.jar] and start DCS World.

 

This steps are not cover Data link functionality etc...

[HiJack]

OK so you don't need Helios installed?

[Morkva_55]

That's right.

Hi Morkva,

 

I'm trying LEAVU now and it seems promising,

though I can't seem to save the MFD's role.

every time I load it, it remembers the position of the windows but not their role (RWR FCR SMS...)

I have to manually adjust before every flight...

I'm not using a touch screen or using the borders, so I have to bind Keys and play on the keyboard for it to adjust...

is there a way you could save the role of the MFD and not only the position??

 

Thanks!

[Iku_CC]

Damn..just can't get this to work...I can get MFD's to show up but I can't get connection to work (I have F15 single version not FC3...and Win10 x64).

[ron533]

How can you assign the keys to MFD cougar for example? not keyboard?

what is the "callbacks" command for those?

Sorry for the ignorance....

[JunMcKill]

Nice software, but it only works if the export option is ON, in case you fly MP in 104th server or any other server with Export off, you will see nothing there. The same problem with TACVIEW, only records 1KB in servers with export off, you have to reply the track later to record the tacview.
