Weidlich Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Transferring steerpoints to the F16 got very unreliable. I have to press transfer to DCS quite often (3-4times) to acutally get them transferred correctly. Most of the time there is a input mixup (like the input is too fast and the DCS misses some inputs). http://www.sysprofile.de/id17271 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed I am aware of a bug when the framerate is very high (above 100 fps) amd the program gives too little delay... Will be fixed in the next version, in the meantime, as a workaround, try to cap your fps at 60 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade Doge Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Hey all, it's been a while I know, but I am picking up the development again. In order to implement most of the features requested here, a new GUI is in order, which will require a massive rebuild of the code. It will take a while still, but the end result will be well worth it. So hang in there, it is underway.

Comrade Doge Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Hello all! Surprise surprise, figured it would be good to add some new modules in the meanwhile, special thanks to @jonsky7 for helping out! Changes in this release include: Added support for AV8BNA Harrier Added support for Mirage 2000 Added support for Ka-50 Blackshark Fixed issue on F-16 with high framerates If you are upgrading from an older version, simply extract the new `The Way` folder contained in the .zip file in your existing folder, overriding any files, and replace your old `TheWay.lua` file in your Saved Games with the new one. Download here: https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay/releases/tag/v1.4.0 Enjoy! PS: I tried adding the Gazelle as well, but it is a bit more complicated, and I'm not sure if I can make it work...

jonsky7 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 One thing I miss from earlier versions is the ability to add further steerpoints after hitting the transfer button, in the later versions I have to discard the saved steerpoints to enter any new ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cendrawasih Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 any guide on how to use this for the ka-50? i did change the coordinate to decimal and then begin transfer but nothing happen, so... i guess i missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you check if they were entered? It enters them really really fast so you won't see the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsky7 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) @Cendrawasih TheWay enters the waypoints into the PVI800 in the Ka-50. The PVI800 is this bit The PVI800 will only accept decimal degrees, so there's no real need for the warning and no particular reason to change the units in the Abris other than to have them match. The PVI800 and the Abris are not linked. The Abris is basically it's own self contained unit that uses GPS. So waypoints entered into the PVI800 won't automatically show on the Abris screen unfortunately. The Ka-50 uses the PVI800 for it's navigation info. This info is shown on the HUD, and can be used for automatic route following etc. With the Waypoint button (top left) lit up, pressing 1-6 changes the waypoint to that waypoint for navigation purposes.

CMD-Wade Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 @Comrade Doge great tool you put together here, I've only used it for the hornet so far, but this makes quick entries so much easier. Keep up the great work, it's much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Genius Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I did try a VR workaround by running OVRDrop and overlaying "The Way". Technically it worked but it was too much for my headset and crashes when I try to run them together in VR. I was still able to use it in VR but had to jump out of the headset and hop in and out of the game to add each WP. Perhaps someone with some more knowledge can modify it to work in VR like the scratchpad overlay does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work there, unfortunately I haven't found much time lately to develop further for TheWay, and VR is still inacessible to me at the moment... I hope I will at least find time to add more features to the base program... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade Doge Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hey all, it's been a while, super busy with irl stuff, but I got some free time lately to add some new stuff to the program. Here's a design concept for new features, I plan to make the tool have more depth in regards of flight planning, namely manually adding waypoints, adding from a file, editing, reordering, renaming, and shortcut keys. The more advanced features will be present in a separate window, the "advanced" mode, so the old and simple way of doing things will still be there, in a "simple" mode. To develop these new features I am going to have to let go of my beloved Java and code the program in Javascript, which will take a while, but it is underway. Any more suggestions will be appreciated! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech_op2000 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 @Comrade Doge Thanks for this great mod. Im having trouble getting coordinates into the Harrier. Do you have any guide or tips for how to make it work in there. I'm on Syria. Can I get the coords to overwrite premade waypoints. Can it do markpoints or target points instead of just waypoints? what screen do I need to have up when I start transfer? It seems like it starts trying to enter if I have the ehsd up but doesnt actually fill out or change any waypoints. Just pushes a lot of buttons.

It seems like it starts trying to enter if I have the ehsd up but doesnt actually fill out or change any waypoints. Just pushes a lot of buttons. It seems the recent update may have changed something in the way the coordinates are entered in the Harrier and made "TheWay" not work properly. It couldn't enter markpoints or targets points though, only waypoints, and it would not overwrite previously stored waypoints, only make new ones. The Harrier does have the ability to import markers from the F10 map for target points though. edit: Before the update it was necessary to press the Pos (ODU option 2) to switch from latitude to longitude, this seems to have changed to automatically switching to longitude entry when the latitude has been entered on the press of the enter key.
