Ice Cream Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The modified file is now included in the fix, link is still the sam Thanks, managed to test it now. On the Ka-50, the coordinates seem to showing in the wrong format, is there any way to change it to the PVI-800 format? On the Mi-8, seems like you upload the wrong file, the original one. Everything else seems to be working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St3v3f Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Mi-8 file fixed now Coordinates on Ka-50 are good for me. Leading zeros are ommited so you might get something like N 43.9.851 aka: Baron [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMacleod Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 but if you get N43.3.411 E40.59.514 ...how should this be converted into the pvi-800 ?

Home Fries Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) JTAC for KA-50 but if you get N43.3.411 E40.59.514 ...how should this be converted into the pvi-800 ? The PVI-800 uses tenths of minutes, so divide the seconds by 60 to get a decimal result. For example, E40 59 51.4 would be E 40 59.9 entered as 0040599.

For example, E40 59 51.4 would be E 40 59.9 entered as 0040599. Can't the mod be changed so that it does this calculation itself? I find it hard to do decimal conversion in my head within the 10 seconds or so that the text is displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to do decimal conversion in my head within the 10 seconds or so that the text is displayed. I don't know about that, but perhaps an easier calculation is just to add .1 for every six seconds, then think about basic multiplication tables. 06 = .1 12 = .2 18 = .3 ... 48 = .8 54 = .9 -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3f Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Coordinates given by this mod are already with minute decimals. You just need to fill in leading zeros. So 43.2.8 becomes 43.03.008 aka: Baron [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtime100 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Coordinates Mismatch Issue in Nevada ! first of all, i really appreciate "TurboHog" & "St3v3f", "Home Fries" for this great mod. i have used this mod since its earliy version & it have worked great until DCS 1.5, but as i am migrating my DCS version to 2.0, coordinates broadcasted by jtac doesn't match with actual ones, which can be verified in F2 view. (test has been done only in ka-50 module, because i don't know how to communicate in mi-8 even though i have it.) i have tried in both ways as follows 1. 1.5d by Home Fries, downloaded from DCS userfile only 2. 1.5d + St3v3f's tweaked version. Broadcasted coordinates : N37.19.957 E -116.(0)4.539 Actual coordinates : N37.19.57 E -115.55.27 it would be really appreciated if you could leave a single clue for me. Thank you.

Home Fries Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Fellas, With real life the way it is, I no longer have time to maintain this mod. I'm hoping that somebody can take the reins; we already have TurboHog's blessing. Please PM me if you wish to take over the mod, and I will provide you with a thorough turnover (though everything I do is commented as such in the LUA files). -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiser Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) I am unable to make this mod work for a campaign i am planning to do. I follow the same exact steps that i found in last mission of this campaign (in the editor): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/267096/ but jtac is unable to contact me. Process i follow is: -Make Jtac invisible -Make Jtac inmortal -Assignate Jtac an indicative. -Assignate a frecuency for Jtac -Start task in route->Fac- attack group. Here i select enemy group, tick the visible, automatic designation and set the indicative to the same as Jtac. Afterwards i fly the mission and try to call him. He appears in my R 828 pannel, but he does not answer. I accomplished a full campaign which used Jtac and it was all correct, so i know how it works (channels and all that) . If it is possible, help me with explanations about how to set it correct in the editor please. Edit: Ok, i have been trying it in the editor with easy comms in order to see how it works, and it is pretty much a mess. It is pretty much random. What i saw in the campaign i mention had it´s logic (you assignate a frecuency to Jtac, and you communicate with him through it). Actually that is not working, it just randomly works with "easy communications" at R-800 radio. So if a assign Jtac 1 a frecuency (30 Mhz FM) and then he sets a task which has that usual 133 Mhz AM at the end, this will only work at R-800 radio. If for example i change that 133 Mhz AM to 30 Mhz FM, i will be able to communicate with him at R-828 at any channel. If i then place Jtac 2 which communicates at 31 Mhz FM, both of them will stop working. I tried to do it without easy communications, and it seems it works in AM frecuency using R-800 radio. Unable to do nothing with R-828 tough, plus assignating a frecuency is useless, jtac automatically can only communicate in Fac´s frecuency.

St3v3f Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Set the proper frequencies for your Ka-50 in the mission editor. There is a tab for that like there is for ordnance and waypoints etc. The R-828.lua containing default frequencies is not used anymore. aka: Baron [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really did not see this one, as i was editing missions from the campaign i told and they worked with R-828.lua, and frequencies should be set in jtac before being able to communicate. Now, as you say R-828.lua is not working, jtac communication frequency must not be set (or seems useless) and the only communication frequency worth is the one you indicate in the Fac mission. All this in the same editor. Having this different logics at the same time, pretty much surprises me, but i guess it is somehow related to the values campaign missions were saved with previously.

20thBG_Blackwolf Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Has anyone made this work in the latest 1.5.5 build? When I enable the mod for Ka-50 or Mi-8 or both and try a quick mission it hangs on the loading screen. I did apply the 1.5.4 fix St3v3f put up..but I just can get it to work.

Home Fries Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) The mod has been updated to 1.5e, which now loads properly in DCS World 1.5.7/2.1.1. The known issue was a matter of proper installation. I have revised the readme and re-uploaded 1.5e. If you don't want to re-download the mod, here's the applicable portion of the readme: Installation: This mod is in three parts: 1) The JTAC & AWACS Main mod 2) The Ka-50 module-specific mod 3) the Mi-8 module-specific mod To use this mod properly, you must have the Main mod enabled. Then enable the module-specific mods for whichever modules you have installed (i.e. Ka-50/Mi-8). The reason for the separation is because if you don't have one of the modules (e.g. the Mi-8), installing the Mi-8 file will cause a crash to desktop. Edited November 25, 2017 by Home Fries Known issue was operator error; disregard. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime100 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 For those who have a problem in loading (halt at 10% after applying this mod) (only tested on 1.5.8, ka-50, JTAC only - i don't know if this is working on 2.2 or MI-MTV2 or about AWACS) 1. Download latested 1.5e version in following link (DCS hompage -> Downloads->userfiles) https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1874700/ 2. unzip it & DELETE "me_action_db.lua" in following position "your JSGME mod file folder\JTAC & AWACS for Ka-50 & Mi-8 (Main)\MissionEditor\modules 3. apply mods with JSGME 1) "JTAC & AWACS for Ka-50 & Mi-8 (Main)" first 2) "JTAC & AWACS for Ka-50 (Module)" I wish this tip might help you.

Holton181 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 @Home Fries Thanks for continuing your support for this. I have not yet tried it, but looks promising. I have searched in this thread and elsewhere to find a way to enable JTAC in the Huey. I found this by Flagrum and thought it would work, but got a little bit hesitant when examined the content of this mod. It seems not to be that easy as only adding two lines in the comm.lua for the Huey, if I would like the same functionality as for the Ka-50 and Mi-8. The last comment in this thread about this is from October 2014. A lot have happen since then (and will happen in a few days!:lol:). Any plans for adding the Huey? I read a post by TurboHog why he had not yet added it, is it still valid? Tanks!
