nir Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago (edited) Hi, I recently ran into the problem of not having proper DTC for the Apache. After looking around, I managed to solve it with Claude AI and thought I would share the solution with you here. What you need: Install the tool "DTC for DCS" which supports the Apache: https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc This tool lets you load JSON formatted data and send it into the Apache TSD while in-game. The solution: The trick is generating the JSON file, and that's where Claude AI (Sonnet 4.5) comes in. In my case, I had a list of 4 control measures (see attached image). I simply pasted the image into Claude, and it generated the proper JSON format for me. Note on MGRS coordinates: In my case, the grid zone designator for the MGRS coordinates was not shown on the kneeboard, so I had to provide it to Claude for proper conversion to lat/long coordinates. The grid zone designator is a 2-3 character code (number + letter) that you can find in the TSD by looking at other coordinates already loaded, such as the default waypoints. Try it yourself: You can find my conversation with Claude here: https://claude.ai/share/7f7f5457-ba3b-44d4-8e7d-198ec4b851e7 You can continue that chat with your own data, and it should generate the JSON file for you since it now "knows" the format. Important note: My example only generates Control Measure points since that's what I needed. If you want other data types, you'll need to provide Claude with an example of a proper JSON record for that data type (generate one manually with the tool first, then show it to Claude). Enjoy!
