Don't forget to include action items for failures please. I want to be told what to do when a failure message pops up on the engine format.

Will the DTC allow us to set up radio presets with labels?

Well it doesn't say anywhere that it's classified in the document, everywhere I checked it says it's not.

Besides that I don't think that mentioning that a system exists or that the DTC hold the data for that system is any issue. Anyone can read on wikipedia that mode 4 uses a crypto algorithm and a digital key or that ECM is designed to mess with electronics like radar. The issue comes when it goes into the details.

I can't go into the details because I don't have access to classified materials in the first place. All ED needs to do is simulate the effects of such systems, not actually implement them in detail.

Hello Everyone,
 

Just a quick note about DTC, It might seem obvious for certain but better safe than sorry.
The DTC should be able to load the mission into the Aircraft (Frequency, Waypoint, Target, Know Threat, Chaff and Flare Programs, etc...) but also to save it at the end of the mission.

This must be a Briefing AND Debriefing Tool.

Happy New Year and Thanks for reading.

Made a thing to help putting stuff that is ordinarily in the DTC into the aircraft automatically. You can save and load JSON files, too. It did do points before, but now it also does some AH64 specific things. The stuff it does includes:

• XPNDR settings
• Comm preset data (C/S, Unit Name, Primary Selection, Frequencies for all radios)
• Preset Net members
• Modem settings (Protocol, retries count, can't do auto reply because it's a toggle in cockpit)
• Tuned presets
• ASE Chaff program & Autopage setting
• Weapon settings (MSL Channels, gun burst count, rocket quantity)
• Laser codes

What news on the DTC please ED? I’ve just picked the Apache up again and have been reading through the manual, there’s a bunch of references made about the DTC but having looked for it that functionality doesn’t exist, is it being worked on and if so how many more years will it take?

Also is there a campaign planned / being worked on?

Thanks

Will the image file be included with the DTC release for the Apache? It's referenced as the "cheer up" file in the book Crazy Horse and allows .bmp's to be uploaded into the helo.
