MagnumHB Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 The fixes covered by this radio mod should definitely be included in an official release. I suggest doing whatever is the most expedient way of making that happen. Frankly, I'm barely playing 1.2.0 right now because of the stability issues, so a mod for it would be of little use compared to having these things resolved in the next official release.

Well, I donno about the JTAC UTM zone not being included in comms. It might be argued that it is more realistic for the JTAC to omit UTM zone in many circumstances. Thinking about it, I've thought a way that may be better. A variable in Lua keeps track of the last UTM zone that was given by JTAC. The first time a set of MGRS coordinates are given by JTAC, then JTAC gives the UTM zone, but after that, the UTM zone is omitted UNLESS IT CHANGES. This might be a little too complex to implement in a timely manner, however- for example, what happens when there are multiple JTACs speaking? There are some unresolved design questions. Maybe, it's just best to include it all the time. Edited September 6, 2012 by Speed Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

WildBillKelsoe Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Did you install it into 1.2.0? This is for DCS 1.1.1.1. Also, the file names, "_original" etc, those could actually be any name. "_original" is just to allow you to easily identify the original files. Also, go into folder options for windows (search "folder options" from the start menu), and uncheck "hide file extensions for known file types". That's a horrible option that should be removed from windows. It's a really freaking terrible idea to hide such vital information as file extensions from users. Anyway, if you still have issues, try to use JTAC, then immediately upload dcs.log to the forums. I did create a minor fix for the JTAC no remarks problem, FOR 1.2.0, get it here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1524369&postcount=11 I'm thinking about finally getting a radio mod created for 1.2.0 soon. As in, if I'm going to do it, it will be in the next few days. Understand it's also a question of whether my time spent on DCS is better spent making a mod to fix some issues, or finding issues and reporting them so that a mod is not needed in the first place. Also a radio patch for 1.2.0 would be incompatible with that Ka-50 JTAC mod by Turbohog, so we would need to possibly include both mods as one... Speed, I have DCS World for mustang and CA only. I have A-10C 1.1.1.1 and never considered applying a patch to 1.1.1.2 or whatever. IMHO , 1.1.1.1 is the most stable release. However, I cannot get the 9-line. only remarks. should I erase renamed files? EDIT: Delimeter were in Sounds JTAC instead of common/jtac/alphabet. will test and confirm its working.

Shaman Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Is this still valid for latest version (DCS World) 1.2.0? Does this bug in 1.2.0 still occurs and does this mod fix it and remains compatible with DCS World 1.2.0 A-10C plus remaining aircraft? 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer

Does this bug in 1.2.0 still occurs and does this mod fix it and remains compatible with DCS World 1.2.0 A-10C plus remaining aircraft? Sorry, not valid for 1.2.0. In 1.2.0, there is a JTAC radio bug with getting remarks, and you can fix that with a file I uploaded: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1545567&postcount=50 Basically, I decided not to create a radio patch for 1.2.0, as many of the issues should be fixed in 1.2.1, and my time is short- I'd rather spend my time helping to improve the quality of 1.2.1 so everyone can enjoy it, than create a mod for 1.2.0 that only a few people will use, and which a significant portion of the mod's useful life has already passed anyway. However, I am considering a radio mod for 1.2.1. 1 Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.
