@negrete, @fagulha I think I found the issue, and will be corrected in the upcoming update. Meanwhile, try to make a temporary save (the icon with the diskette and a clock inside) before saving the .5js. Let me know how does that work out

Thank you for taking time to help us.

Will do as soon i have time during weekend and post here if it works.

The workaround you mentioned didn´t work but either way after the last update all seems working well again. Thank you for you assistance and for GV5Js!

If something out of normal comes up i´ll let you know and seek your help as always

 

Have a nice weekend, greetings from Portugal.

Hi - this is a great app!... any chance of an option to report distances and altitude in metric for red side flights? The nav info from my Su-25 mission gets converted to feet and knots.

Thanks

It can definitely be done, no problem. I will not promise any date, though because the way the code is written will make it necessary to go through a lot of functions to check, an make sure nothing else gets broken. But I will look into it

Many thanks, raus!

Loving this program. It makes it so much easier creating decent kneeboards. One question though. Is it possible to add groups from a different country than your own into the packages? Seems you can only add from the same country where as it would be better if we could add groups from same coalition?

I am working on a reduced pace during the summer, but I’ll put it on the list and check it. Should not be a problem as long as they are on the same coallition (blue/red)

Any ideas as to why some of my flights are not showing up? If i copy the flight to a new mission it then works?

I am currently reworking it. A version 2.0 will come with improvements. In the meantime, can you link me to that .miz? It sometimes has hiccups due to changes in the miz syntax (which will be avoided with the rewrite I am doing). And, just in case... are you sure your flights are all "client"?

Yeah flights are clients. I fixed it by removing some flights. I do love the app though buddy. Keep up the great work

Ok, then just standby… I am currently at the middle of rewriting the whole logic of the program. The proof of concept works, and I now need to apply the new method everywhere. Good news is that it will get all info from the miz more reliably, enable additional info to be retrieved and -hopefully- parse the whole thing much faster. But it will still take me some time to rewrite

Hey Raus

 

Hope your doing well and have come into 2025 good and healthy.

 

If you are still working on the Datacard Generator then i have a small request. The Comm Card page is not able to show 3 decimals in the frequencies column. That might be a good idea for a small change/fix.

Hey, it is now in the middle of the rework. Datacards will look different, actually combining comm card. We are now testing the concept and seeing how it all comes along… the core is working (rebuilt from scratch) but all the look & feel bits are taking time to be completed

[Mav87th]

Cool @raus

 

Looking forward to enjoy the fruits of your work

So, the time has come... I can officially announce that the GV5Js Datacard Generator is discontinued as of today, and no more updates are to be expected.

But fear not, this is good news. It basically means that we are close to the first release of its succesor tool. I am currently ironing out the last wrinkles, and adding back some data from the different theaters supported. I hope (no hard promise, though) to release a first draft version by next week. Some of the old functionalities will still be progressively ported, but it should nevertheless be functional, with the added benefit that the new methods used for parsing all the .miz information are deterministic, and no flights/assets will be missed as it could sometimes happen with the old tool.

Stay tuned!

PS: as a hint to find the announcement when it is time, the new tool is named "Mission Commander Toolkit", which also highlights the development direction more towards a tool to organize packages and provide briefing information

Okay, maybe I have not reached the status I desired for the release, but nevertheless here it goes: 

Hope you enjoy it
