DArt Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 One year One year after the first release (0.8.0), I release the 0.9.2. Minor version, but still lot of new features inside! Fix for incomplete picture in client that appears with DCS 1.2.8. There is also lot of fix/enhancement for BRAA. You can add/manage bookmarks for server Add the vertical indicator (show arrow for altitude variation) see changelog & screenshots below... Changelog: Better chat notification (sound notification) Chat list not scrolled Memorize last servers and associated passwords (bookmark) Add Labels attributes list directly in LotAtc Client New variable %(vert_indic) for aircraft labels Add %(vert_indic) to default labels [*]BRAA add ability to display/hide individually text-on-map UI Note: Documentation is not fully updated to this version yet, it will come in next days. DOWNLOAD HERE: Download Some screenshots More here: http://lotatc.dartsite.org/news/41 Next? The next main release will be the 1.0.0 with share drawing support, Glide ILS support, a new client UI, new options for server... Lot of these are already coded and will be stabilised in next weeks The full approach with taxiways/tower view will certainly postponed in 1.1.0 because I am waiting the EDGE released to make all airports correctly. It is a change from my initial roadmap but I prefer to release the drawing part that is already ready with the updated UI of client, then concentrate my work on EDGE support (multi-map). Here some screenshots of the current 1.0.0-alpha1. UI is far to be finished but it will give you a good preview of my current work, no fake in that, all of feature shown in theses screenshots already works!

Jediteo Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Fantastic, looking forward to giving it a whirl! We've had some great fun with LotATC so far. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTJS17_Fire Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Awesome work, DArt! :thumbup: What's the state with a more real B/E implemtation? For instance: + possibility to hook the B/E and any contact + B/E information, if I hook a friendly and another contact (BRAA and B/E data) IIRC, some time ago you wrote, that the read-out from the weather data of DCS will be fixed (QFE/ QNH, dynamic weather data). How's the status? I - and our virtual fighter squadron - like your LotATC very much! It adds so much realism to our training, thank you for your work and keep it up! One last question: Do you plan some manual stuff, like "how to be a GCI operator?" or something else? I know, you have done some nice documentation for your tool. But operational manuals (like flight manuals for the planes) for GCI are very very rare. kind regards, Fire Edited May 30, 2014 by VTJG17_Fire Hardware: Intel i5 4670K | Zalman NPS9900MAX | GeIL 16GB @1333MHz | Asrock Z97 Pro4 | Sapphire Radeon R9 380X Nitro | Samsung SSDs 840 series 120GB & 250 GB | Samsung HD204UI 2TB | be quiet!

DArt Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Awesome work, DArt! :thumbup: What's the state with a more real B/E implemtation? For instance: + possibility to hook the B/E and any contact + B/E information, if I hook a friendly and another contact (BRAA and B/E data) Thanks a lot! Very happy to know that you love it! :thumbup: Sorry, but what stands for B/E ? By developing LotAtc, I found that there is a lot of terms that are different on each country, I prefer to understand correctly what you would like :) IIRC, some tiem ago you wrote, that the read-out from the weather data of DCS will be fixed (QFE/ QNH, dynamic weather data). How's the status? I spend lot of time in DCS to extract better weather datas. For dynamic, it is very complex because I have only access to raw datas (depression position and size) and it is not really usable at this moment, so no better support for dynamic weather for next release (except changes in DCS of course). For static weather, it will updated for the 1.0.0 release, better UI than 0.9.2 view (with correct fix for QNH) One last question: Do you plan some manual stuff, like "how to be a GCI operator?" or something else? I know, you have done some nice documentation for your tool. But operational manuals (like flight manuals for the planes) for GCI are very very rare. Yes, me and my underground team would like to make some but we have not found time yet. I am agree with you, operational manual will be a great value!

VTJS17_Fire Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 CTD as serverhost Hi DArt, I've the same problem, as in LotATC 0.9.0 - CTD at starting the gameserver (as host). I checked this: + LotATC ist enabled in DCS (realisitic mode, icon is visible in the main menue) + LotATC server installation (checked) + renamed the DCS folder (it helps in the past, at the moment it doesn't) + I tried this again (it doesn't help now) + Port 10310 is open Gameserver without LotATC: I can run a game server, if LotATC is disabled, so my firewall isn't the problem. System: + Windows 7 64bit + LotATC 64 bit + DCS "vanilla" installation (no mods, but TARS and Tacview installed) Client: If my buddy hosts the server, I can use the LotATC client without problems. His LotATC works fine with this mission. Attachments: + Mission (works for my buddy as host) + DCS.log + LotAtc_server.log Thanks in advance, regards FireDCA-OCA_Maykop128.mizLogs.zip Hardware: Intel i5 4670K | Zalman NPS9900MAX | GeIL 16GB @1333MHz | Asrock Z97 Pro4 | Sapphire Radeon R9 380X Nitro | Samsung SSDs 840 series 120GB & 250 GB | Samsung HD204UI 2TB | be quiet!

DArt Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Your installation is ok, all seems correctly setup. It seems that LotAtc crashes with the boat ticonderog on sensors detection... Very strange, first time I see that. I will make some tests and code review to understand why it causes crash (and why it does not crash on others computer). Thanks for the full report, very useful !

thinkr Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Looks like interesting software. I haven't read the manual yet I understand what an ATC is. But can we get perhaps a promotional video to desmonstrate how this software benifits gameplay?

VTJS17_Fire Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 This tool is not just an ATC tool (some functions for full ATC supports are on the to-do list), it's at the moment more a GCI tool. How this benefits gameplay? It makes DCS much more real! In reality - today - you don't have any fighter in the air, without GCI/ AWACS support. The DCS AWACS isn't perfect (or near real) IMO, so this tool adds a lot realism to your "gameplay". We use it in our virtual fighter squadron (with one GCI operator) for: + ATC stuff (almost yet) + GCI controlled intercepts (QRA) + C² support in other mission tasks (labeling and targeting for CAP missions) Look at youtube for some videos ... ;) regards, Fire Hardware: Intel i5 4670K | Zalman NPS9900MAX | GeIL 16GB @1333MHz | Asrock Z97 Pro4 | Sapphire Radeon R9 380X Nitro | Samsung SSDs 840 series 120GB & 250 GB | Samsung HD204UI 2TB | be quiet!

DArt Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 When would be 1.0.0 ready as beta? I working hardly on it but it will take me lot of time. I hope to have something at end of September (just for idea, can be before or after, depending of lot of things). The airport part is a very complex, I am currently try to manage correctly all airports with precision and fix magnetic deviation error. Lot of things is already working (shared drawing, new UI on client, maps optimisation, airports datas extracted from DCS, custom profile on server) but all approach part is under progress. :) Be sure LotAtc 1.0.0 is coming, just need some time to be developed correctly as previous version :) [ https://www.lotatc.com ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DArt Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I check your logs, it seems that LotAtc is disabled in options (to be confirmed). Try to run DCS World, go in Options -> Special -> LotAtc 4 DCS ( see here ), click on enabled (if already enabled, click 2 times, one to disable, second to re-enable). Sometimes, options is badly save in DCS, and disabled then enabled LotAtc is a solution. Try and let me know ;) [ https://www.lotatc.com ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of things has been already done and I hope to release the final 1.0.0 version for this autumn (will also depends of DCS 2.0 release that could break lot of things in LotAtc...) . Here some things that are already done or in progress with screenshots: Note: All following screen are not representing final version, it is only to illustrate current state of LotAtc ...
