BigEye EWR Script

[Gausser Yyormes]

Can this be used on single player, setting the user plane to "player"?

Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to adapt this script to work with dynamic spawning?

what do you mean by "dynamic" spawning.

The latest dynamic spawning in DCS mission editor, the one where you place a template down and players can load them in multiplayer?

How use it in missions? Just a 'do script file' after moose will do it? Any other configs or requirements (like a blue EW radar)?

just a quick heads up, be sure to be in latest moose, there was a fix committed today that fixes a regression Aspect calculation.

if you see empty strings in aspect (e.g. no more Flanking, Cold, Hot) then you need to update moose.

The fix was committed today in https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE/commit/41b867a4ca53a4ef1e285c63fb7ac11333e60372

be sure to get latest Moose from Develop branch.

I´m a bit at a loss tbh. I tried to implement it in my mission with the moose version from december 24 (the latest release) and it gives me completly wrong bearings to threats. So I came back here and thought, maybe I need the development version of lua. But when I look at the development branch in the moose gitHub, there is no moose.lua. What am I missing?

[leonardo_c]

here you go:
https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_INCLUDE/tree/develop/Moose_Include_Static

there was indeed a commit to fix target bearings, see https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE/commit/41b867a4ca53a4ef1e285c63fb7ac11333e60372

just as additional info, always stay up-to-date with moose, especially after DCS updates.

Woah you did an amazing job! Thank you for creating this.
I tried other scripts and it didn't work but yours does its job immediately

I have a suggestion of putting an aircraft type into the reported EWR, how do I edit the script to do that?

you can change the parameter here:

https://gitlab.com/quelcertoleo/big-eye-ewr/-/blob/main/bigeye_ewr.lua#L88

NCTR is non-cooperative target recognition...in DCS it is too simple and it will 100% recognize the target type which is seriously unrealistic, but anyway I left the option to enable it.

you can choose to recognize target type (e.g. F-14, MiG-29, etc) or NATO reporting name (Tomcat, Fulcrum, etc)
