LotAtc 4 DCS - 0.9.0

We are looking to add it to our dedicated server

Hi DArt,

 

DCS and Windows 7 are 64bit.

 

I used this guide already, my files were already installed in the correct folder - so no copy&paste for me. I opened the port 10310 in my router as well.

 

If I host a server with LotATC installed, there is no problem. Only, if I enable LotATC in the DCS options, I get the CTD.

 

Maybe, there is a incorrect file, which is created/ activated, when I enable LotATC ... ?

 

 

regards,

Fire

Ok, could you activate LotAtc, launch multiplayer session and send me the following files (all in your {user}/Saved Games/DCS/Logs:

• DCS.log
  
• LotAtc_server.log
  

I will check what happens if there is something interesting in logs.

Have you some others mods like Slmod on your DCS?

[edit] oops, cross-posting with DArt...

Well, so far so good!

I don't think this is the more probable issue.

Any ideas?

Yes, let's try :)

My first hypothesis would be that the issue may be mission-related, or mod-related.

Is it mission-related?

To determine this, could you test with the attached mission? This one we're sure is working with LotAtc, cause we used it for lots of tests before 0.9.0 was released.

Conversely, could you provide us the mission with which you encountered the problem? We would be able to test it on our machines.

Is it mod-related?

Do you run a "vanilla" DCS or do you have mods? If mods, which ones?

Ok, for the mods no problem with them, I have the same :)

The mission is ok and run correctly with LotAtc on my side.

in your logs, LotAtc seems installed correctly, but there is one line strange. To get more information, could you run your mission again with the following modification please:

Open the c:\Users\Fire\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\net\server.lua file and change the line16 from

local atc_enable_debug = false --Enable verbose output in dcs.log, usefull to report problem

to

local atc_enable_debug = true --Enable verbose output in dcs.log, usefull to report problem

and give me the DCS.log that will be generated, it will just make LotAtc more verbose :)

Thanks.

Just to be sure, I double checked and got the same result, all looks OK here.

Whats the verdict on this then ? Sounds the bee's knee's .

Bee's knees confirmed

I'm sorry, I don't understand to what "on this" refers to, nor the meaning of your last expression.

LOL :)

Similar to the 'cats pyjamas' the 'bees knees' is for some reason a colloquial term for something that is 'very good' in English. It probably came from rhyming slang :)

He was just asking what people thought of it as it sounds really good.

Why, thank you then, Sir. :thumbup:

I should have asked Google instead of jumping on Google Translate. I guess I was sur les rotules, today. :smartass:

(rotules = knee caps, "being on one's knee caps" means dead tired)

Hi DArt,

I updated DCS with the latest patch and changed my server.lua as you described, and now it works fine. :)

Is it possible to get the QNH in the more usefull unit "inHG"? I know, LotATC reads the QNH direct from DCS, but in the most/ western cockpits it isn't usable.

regards,

Fire

Great :)

For QNH, it is on my roadmap, weather page will be enhanced in future version.

I feel that LotAtc is missing the Russian language.

Any volunteer?

Hi DArt

Coud it possible display small RCS target such as SAMs, Mavs?

Could it possible display the detection from AWACS/JSTAR in the furture? (I checked the features list and AWACS has beed added.)

Thanks

It could be possible, in fact LotAtc see everything at beginning and I remove items with different filters.

AWACs is already working to build the final picture. JSTAR and AWACs advanced feature (like tracking, unit type detection) will arrive in future release.

That would be nice if ED added an E-8 (or a Sentinel, or...) to the simulator. :thumbup:

In the meantime, based on DCS database, it seems an AN/APY-1 (E-3 radar - I haven't checked for others AWACS for now) has some ground targeting capabilities (RBM, GMTI...) but the description is quite basic ATM (too much, in fact).

What will be tricky is for LotAtc to decide if each ground vehicle would be detected IRL(*), and hence should be displayed on the controller's screen.

(*) lots of factors:

- vehicule stationnary or moving?

- vehicule's shape?

- vehicule's surroundings: plains or mountains? buildings in the area? forests?

- ...

A nice challenge :)

Some users asked me if LotAtc supports the DCS open beta 1.2.7.

As you know, it is installed in another directory and if you have 1.2.6 installed with LotAtc, you can install it for 1.2.7 with some manual steps.

See the LotAtc website for more explanations: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/news/29

Good new!!! great idéa !

Thank's DArt !

LotAtc server can be run on ServMan3 mod server! :thumbup:

See here for information: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/news/30

I fix the LotAtc website, no more need to be registered to download the ServMan patch :)

An error was found in the serman_server.lua file on my website, re-download the new one that fix the error if you would like to integrate ServMan and LotAtc, sorry about that.

(For 223rd CAS squadron, you already have the right one).

Ta :)

LotAtc server can be run on ServMan3 mod server! :thumbup:

Sorry DArt, but still don't work on =RAF=Server. Any comments? Can you help us?

Sorry DArt, but still don't work on =RAF=Server. Any comments?

Here a checklist :)

1. Be sure you get the second version of the file, the first one will not work.
   
2. Check server install with this link
   
3. Check that you have correctly enabled LotAtc in DCS options
   
4. Check port 10310 is opened in Tcp
   
5. You run DCS 1.2.6, if it is 1.2.7 check this
   

If you pass this checklist and it is not working, launch a mission, stop it after some seconds, and send me:

• DCS.log
  
• LotAtc_server.log
  
• LotAtc_client.log
  

All theses files are in your {Users}\Saved Games\DCS World\Logs
