Interactive Map Kavkaz for the second monitor or another computer

Hello.

upd. to v1.2.1.

Hello.

Update 1.2.2 Add: Route create

[Stratos]

Can be exported to a Ipad?

[Нупь]

No, PC only

[spaceraver]

I cannot get it to work on Windows 10. EAaccess violation

But I like the export very much.

I have a member at hand that is interested in the source code if that is possible.

We are trying to do something akin to what you have done, by having the app client side and the export installed server side so it would be on a second screen and we would use it as a collaborative scratchpad. Route planning, target marking, especially for FC3 and frogfoot.

I really love the premise of it none the less.

I noticed an error. If the system is installed the decimal separator " , " - not running export.

 

 

 

 

Try to change to the point " . " and write to me, pls.

Fixed export bug during a decimal separator windows " , "

[Nero.ger]

looks good and interrestion. Can you make the detail level selectable? like switch on/off different "landmarks" (ground,sea, roads etc) maybe a Black background version so it runs on lowend machines?

Great job Igor! I could get the program to start and moved the TWD Viewer window to my second monitor. Then I started DCS and started a free-flight mission with the Bf-109, which is located at Nalchik. Questions:

1. I set View to "View all" and moved the TWD Viewer map so that it was centered on Nalchik, and I flew right over the Nalchik airbase. But I could not see any aircraft on the TWD viewer. What am I missing?

2. All the labels on the map scale down proportionally when you zoom out. That makes it extremely difficult to navigate on the map. Could you change the labels of at least the airfields so that they remain always readable?

3. In your Readme.txt item 4. says "Remove Program on 2 Monitor". Did you mean to say "Move the program window to the second monitor"?

4. My folder "...\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts" already had a file "Export.lua" which consists of only one line. I appended ".BAK" to its filename to avoid overwriting it. Was that the righht thing to do?

Edit:

I tried some other modules. Results:

FW-190 ok; MIG-21 ok; F-86F fail; A-10C fail

1, 2 -

You're right. Probably a mistake, I will seek.

 

3, 4 - Aha, You're right,

Move the program window to the second monitor.

 

 

Edit: does not work Bf-109

F-86 and A-10C work, if restart DCS Viewer.

 

 

 

 

 

Improper operation of the program if the value "NObjects" begins to grow indefinitely.

Maybe I'll do it in the future.

I could not get the F-86F consistently visible, but I managed to see the A-10C after restart of TWD Viewer. Following aircraft showed ok on TWD Viewer:

KA-50; Mirage 2000, L-39; P-51D; F-15C; SU-27

The error is found, download the file again.:)

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you all for your feedback.

Hi Igor,

I can confirm that the A-10C and Bf-109 are consistently visible. I have a bit of doubt about the F-86F. In my first test today it seemed to disappear after a few turns. But then I tried two more times and it was stable. Maybe it disappeared from my eyes because the white "own aircraft" symbol is not highly visible?

I don't fly the F-86 much so it doesn't matter much for me anyway.

Conflict with Tacview

 

Hi Igor, I had copied your xport.lua into the Scripts folder, and renamed the Export.lua that was there as part of the TacView installation.

So your program works but I lost TacView.

How can I use both? Can I merge the two Export.lua files?

The one for TacView has only one line:

local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewExportDCS.lua')

 

Can I insert that line at the beginning of your Export.lua?

[Нупь]

I do not use Tacview. But

Search function LuaExportStart() in Tacview export, if there has

 

Append:

gExportIntervalTWD = 0.25

local socketTWD = require("socket")

hostTWD = "localhost" --or IP

portTWD = 6025

udpTWD = assert(socket.udp())

assert(udpTWD:setpeername(hostTWD, portTWD))

assert(udpTWD:setoption('broadcast', true))

assert(udpTWD:settimeout(0))

 

 

Add function Socket_export() from my export,

 

 

 

 

but change the line

 

 

assert(udp:send(string.format("%d..... ----->>>> assert(udpTWD:send(string.format("%d.....

 

 

 

Search function LuaExportStop() and append

 

assert(udpTWD:send("quit"))

assert(udpTWD:close())

 

 

 

 

Search function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t) and append

 

local tNext = t

Socket_export()

tNext = tNext + gExportInterval

 

 

 

At home I am passing data his iron cockpit through socket 6025 (for example) and TWDViewer works through socket 6026.

Good job and thank you ,

but I have a bug or bad use,it does not work in multiplayer mode, even when export object is checked on the server side.

[Нупь]

Hello.

So it should be, the function LoGetWorldObjects() does not work in multiplayer mode. You can comment on it in export.lua and all

for k,v in pairs(o) do

....

end

 

 

function LoGetSelfData() can be used in multiplayer mode.

[LeCuvier]

I do not use Tacview. But

Search function LuaExportStart() in Tacview export, if there has

 

Append:

gExportIntervalTWD = 0.25

local socketTWD = require("socket") ...

Hi Igor, I have thought about this for a while. It seems you are asking me to modify the TacView .lua file. Maybe I could manage to do that; but then when there is a new version of TacView these changes may be lost and I have to repeat the process. I frankly don't want to go there. I would hope that there is a way to design mods so that they don't prevent each other from running.

[Нупь]

I am on a business trip, I will answer later

[Tibet]

How is this working with the changes to server preferences for data export? Wondering if this is a viable alternative well the f10 map is broken for multi monitor setups.

[Нупь]

Standart procedure "LoGetWorldObjects" - it's cheat.

[stiinc]

Great mod, export works perfectly on second or third monitor or computer. Problem I'm having is merging the export I use for Helios and your export, I cannot get either to work when adding your code as specified on 2nd page, it breaks both functions no matter how many different iterations I try.

 

Any chance you could help a fellow out?

[FMJPA]

Hello Igor, hello everyone

 

In multiplayer, navigator only works with the Resume manuel selected in the advanced menus of the server.

 

I would like to use Resume on load mode and in this case Navigator does not work, no trace.

 

 

Does anyone have the solution?

 

 

Maybe a modification of the export.lua file?

 

 

Thank you
