Tetra Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 This is a great mod, thanks for making it :) Some have used BMS files privately etc, but due to copyright they cannot be distributed. Having an original sound mod is a great help. :) I'm off to try and convince someone to put the LUA hooks in for those into FC3 ;) Many thanks GGTharos, really glad you like it. As for the FC3 hooks are those definitely not in-place at the moment? _Dredd and Mustang had requested a port for the F-15/A-10A and I was going to take a look at doing that when I get hold of FC3, but if the actual output isn't there for the lua already I guess that might not be currently possible.

GGTharos Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I will check when I get home. If the hooks are not there, I will check if it is possible for me to put those hooks in myself, and if that is the case, we're off to the races. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

Eddie Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Well, I've finally had chance to download this and take a look. Well all can I say is, well bloody done! This is absolutely superb. The flash "study" apps are just icing on the cake. While the tones may not be the same as in reality, it doesn't matter, they serve the same purpose and perfectly well. I'll be retiring the quick & dirty mod I made for the 476th and recommending this to everyone in the future. Good work Tetra. A few more like you and the DCS community would be much better place. Now, I have a few constructive comments for you. 1. You missed the SA-10 tracking RADAR from the RWRTACVIEW_AA app. The Clam Shell and Big Bird search RADARs are there, just not the Flap Lid tracking RADAR. Although the RWR tone is the sounds folder. 2. RWR Symbology. It would be good it you could incorporate a few symbology changes into your MOD that "fix" a few errors in the default DCS implementation. Details below. a) Remove the leading zeros from the single digit systems, i.e. the SA-8 should be "8", not "08" b) The P-19 Search RADAR used by the SA-3 should be represented by an "S", not a "3". The reason for that is that the P-19 is used by several air defence systems (in reality), not just the SA-3, or even a stand alone search RADAR station. I've made those changes to my copy of the ALR69_param.lua from your mod (attached) if you want to just use that to save a few seconds. Anyway, once again, great job.ALR69_param.lua Edited August 2, 2013 by Eddie

Wow awesome feedback many many thanks Eddie! I have added your LUA corrections now thank you, will update the uploaded files later tonight with your changes. Regarding the tac view Flaplid it is the S300PS_TR_30N6? I completely missed it somehow! Just wanted to ask you also, does the Flaplid acquire/search AND lock or just lock? Currently I have it only locking, playing the SA10 lock tone as per your original Lua file, I presume the search radar hands off to the Flaplid for locking but the Flaplid TR doesn't search/acquire right? Anyway thanks again for your input, will get those changes made tonight. Eddie and GG both like this? I better take a look...

It should be a bit more sneaky/evil than it is in DCS really, but with the current modelling in DCS, you have it correct.

GGTharos Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 No problem.

Tetra Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) RAE Mod & TAC VIEW updated to v2. Update to V2: Updated RWR symbols based on Eddies input. Remove the leading zeros from the single digit SAM systems (08 now = 8 etc.) The P-19 Search RADAR RWR symbol changed to "S" TAC VIEW - Corrected SA radar code numbers (removed leading 0's) to align with the changes to RAE mod TAC VIEW - Added S300PS TR 30N6 TAC VIEW - Combined both mobile and desktop versions into one package Edited August 2, 2013 by Tetra My Mods: Radar Warning Receiver Audio Expansion G-Breath Sound Mod
Tetra Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 No problem. If nothing else happens, I would expect at least to have provisions for RWR sounds in DCS modules :) Definitely! Just would have been a nice addition for FC3 users, fingers crossed maybe it might be possible in the future. My Mods: Radar Warning Receiver Audio Expansion G-Breath Sound Mod
PFunk1606688187 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Sometimes these forums get sleepy, not much happening between updates. Then something like this shows up. I love the collaboration and the goodwill. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
Irregular programming Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I just had a one hour flight with this and I must say, well done. This has quickly become my favorite mod. Thank you!

Many thanks for the kind feedback guys, really appreciate it! Also hugely grateful for all the input and help that has been given. Just on a side-note next update will add audio cues for all radar capable naval vessels as well. Edited August 3, 2013 by Tetra My Mods: Radar Warning Receiver Audio Expansion G-Breath Sound Mod

kk0425 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I haven't had a chance to play with this yet, but I was able to play all the sounds in VLC and I happened to notice some of the fighters F-15, Su-27, Su-30, and Su-33 are the ones that I can remember off the top of my head that don't play any sound. Is this intentional or just something on my end? Otherwise this looks like a really awesome mod. Hoping for something in FC3 soon. :D

Hoping for something in FC3 soon. :D Thanks for the comment :) VLC has a bit of a job playing very short sound files for some reason, it literally won't play them, they do play properly in-game, you just can't preview them with VLC, if you want to check them out maybe try a freeware audio editor like Audacity or something. As for FC3 fingers crossed, sadly it doesn't look like it's possible at the moment. My Mods: Radar Warning Receiver Audio Expansion G-Breath Sound Mod
kk0425 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Ah okay. Thanks for the prompt response. As for FC3, I'm sure somebody will get it figured out soon lol.
PFunk1606688187 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Has anyone tried it with the A-10A that just got released? Or does this count as FC3? Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
Tetra Posted August 4, 2013 Author Posted August 4, 2013 Has anyone tried it with the A-10A that just got released? Or does this count as FC3? Sadly I think it will be the same issue, the functions for the RWR on the FC3 based aircraft currently have no way of being hooked in LUA.

ralfidude Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Tetra, any more updates you are thinking on this right now, or is this a pretty good version for now? I want to redownload this V3 from the original you had, and then tweak in my little sound twirks in there afterwards, like missile threat warning to a more aggressive missile warning tone. As I currently have it set up is pretty damn good as you heard from the long video I posted in the other thread, but it seems like you made a few changes since then.
