The F-18 has its own peculiarities - a different coordinate format, different radios, can have multiple waypoint sequences, MFD page setup is different... It can be done, but I dont know when I will have time for it. Different screens would have to be designed for it. 4

karpiyon Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Hi, Great work. For the MFDs, do I need to be in a specific mode before hitting 'Upload'? E.g. If I am at A-A mode and hitting 'Upload' will it detect the current mode and switch to NAV in order to start it's sequence?

I can't read any info from the cockpit (or, if there is a way, I don't know exactly how) so yes, you have to start with NAV in order for it to work properly.

darkman222 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) It also works in VR. But it has a slight offset to picked waypoints. I guess because of the spherical projection you are picking the points on the map. But if used on servers youre frequently flying on, you could create a DTC for each server in 2D before. Its more accurate in 2D. Just tested it. But why is it minimizing DCS when I klick "start capture" DCS is running full screen in 2D and then minimized. Edited October 6, 2021 by darkman222

darkman222 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Technically? No idea. This is how it looks like, and when you zoom in it is pretty accurate where it places the waypoints. I put the headset on a table, press center VR view. You gotta jump between DTC and DCS then like in 2D. What an awesome app! Edited October 6, 2021 by darkman222

Harlikwin Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Ok just tried the "Capture" function and its brilliant, works fine in VR just as long as you zoom in and have everything roughly centered in the 2D window.

SFJackBauer Posted October 7, 2021 Author Posted October 7, 2021 Let me go out on a limb and credit @Comrade Doge for the original idea of capturing waypoints using the F10 map on his DCS TheWay mod. I shamelessly (and after asking for his permission) copied his .lua code and his idea for that. I wasn't even thinking of adding it to DTC originally, I am so used to inputting lat/long coordinates using the keyboard I just wanted a way to store them and share them.

One additional functionality that would be nice would be a library where you can save WP coords of "stuff". I realize you can enter as many as you want now and only load 1-10 or whatever but it would be nice to have more convenient way to store a database for each map.

Have you checked Load / Save to a file? You can have multiple files saved for different missions / servers etc. and load them as you want.
