Greenie.app — a Greenie Board for your squadron that integrates with DCS


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I just finished up my first pass at a new website, https://greenie.app . It’s a “greenie board” you can use with your virtual squadron to track your passes, traps, grades, and boarding rate. Best of all, you can upload your dcs.log files to it and it will automatically find grades given out by the DCS: Supercarrier LSO and add them. If you don’t agree with the Supercarrier LSO, or you want to add your passes manually, you can do that too.

 

This website is brand freakin’ new so I would recommend signing up with a test account and giving it a try before moving your entire squadron over. It also probably doesn’t have every single feature your squadron needs, but I will try to add the more popular requests.

 

If you’re a software engineer and you’re fluent in Ruby/Rails and TypeScript/Vue, you can send me PRs with the features you want too: https://github.com/Greenie-app

 

Please check it out, let me know what works and what doesn’t, and hopefully you like it!

 

Limitations:

 

The DCS: Supercarrier add-on is a work-in-progress. Currently, logging of LSO grades is sporadic and not all passes are guaranteed to result in a grade being logged. Furthermore, these grades are not associated with the pilot who made the pass, so Greenie.app has to "guess" which pilot flew the pass by associating the LSO grades with nearby "landing" events. Obviously, if the pass was a bolter or waveoff, no landing event is logged, and the pass is not associated with a pilot.

 

For this reason, proper logging of a squadron's passes requires a hands-on approach. Upload the dcs.log soon after flying your mission or carrier quals, and then compare the resulting passes with your real LSO's notes. Edit, move, or remove passes as needed.

 

You can also use the website without uploading dcs.log files at all. Simply have your real paddles (or their assistant) keep the website open while your pilots are making their passes. The LSO will be able to quickly log the grades for each pass. You can also record your missions to track logs and input the grades later.

Well I am not part of any squadron but registered. I assume that is alright for singleplayer or multiplayer traps?

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Should work any time you use the AI LSO but I’m not sure if it will do a good job detecting which pilots did which traps.

@StretchHey, this is cool!. I've only logged a test pass so far (I'm on the road so no DCS'ing for a few days), but it looks like what we've been looking for.  Can't wait to try out a log file upload.

 

One thing I noticed during the manual test: the wires seem to be numbered 0 - 3 instead of 1 - 4 in the dropdown menu.  Wasn't sure if that was intentional. 

 

But good work!  I think this'll be fun...

Hey! Used the app for a while and it was great, exactly what we were looking for! However right now it says the connection could be unsafe and doesn't let me through to the page. It says certificate invalid and has the https crossed out. Not sure if I can do anything on my end to fix or if that's on the owners end.
