Very nice. Reminds me of Harpoon... This together with the combined amrs module, any hope of providing extra depth to the tactical operations control side of DCS (from what I could gather from the videos the control part has a lot of room for improvement)?

Thanks Dart; I always follow with absolute interest.

Three questions:

1. the red "objects" are aircraft operated by IA?

2. the white circle represents ?

3. with the software you will also be the user manual ?

 

many thanks

1. Red objets are in the opposite coalition (ennemies), the white ones are in controller coalition.

2. The white circle defined the detection area of the objects (in my screenshot, on the sea is an awacs and a SAM on the ground)

3. Yes I will make a manual :)

  • Maps has airports runway (still some offset errors between IRL airports and DCS airports, Taxi come later)
    
  • detected objects display labels fully customizable (like LotAtc v3)

Thanks you for all messages, it give me motivation to continue... :thumbup:

I don't know if this is already been asked:

will LoATC feature some radio modelling, so that the AWACS/ATC radio can be used with TARS?

[DArt]

Not for first release, but it is in my goal after that. Need to check with Headspace how I can do that (and if we can) ;)

[Grimes]

Will the alarm state (radar on/off) be exported for each unit so that a CA player manipulating their radar sam coverage will correctly change the view of anyone using LotATC?

[Lib]

Thank tou very much for that update ! :thumbup:
