Shaman Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Will setup executable properly upgrade to next version (even beta RC ones)? Or should I uninstall and clean after previous installation first? 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DArt Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 What do you mean "push"? As in instead of having them in the "out" position? I mean activate, I did not see correctly sorry. On M2000C to have transponder working I activate M1 M2 and M3 and on your screen M-2 is not at same position than 2 others. Will setup executable properly upgrade to next version (even beta RC ones)? Or should I uninstall and clean after previous installation first? If you come from 1.0.2 and below, there is a special operation on server to do, check procedure on https://www.lotatc.com/download.html (search for "special" ). If you come from 1.0.3 and more, you can upgrade by launching setup exe directly. [ https://www.lotatc.com ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMikeJuliet Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 DArt, I have three suggestion and an apparent bug to report! Firstly: I suggest to draw the distance/bearing ruler on top of units on the screen. It is a bit annoying trying to read the info on a screen with a lot going on (and especially a lot of aircraft in close proximity) when the units are drawn over the ruler. This could be an option to toggle the draw priority. Secondly: requesting ability to set a third type of altitude readout - "kft", thousands of feet. As GCI calls target altitude in thousands of feet I believe it'd be best to be able to show the altitude as such instead of full or short (flight levels i.e. hundreds of feet). This also shortens the labels on the screen making a busy situation more readable. Third: ability to change target label outline (and pointer) color. at my currently preferred map color the label pointer is almost impossible to see making a situation very hard to decipher if there are a lot of aircraft in close proximity. And the bug?: DCS chat in the "all" chat tab in lotATC shows every user as red regardless of side and regardless of which side the lotATC user is on. Thanks for one of the most useful DCS external softwares! Regards, MikeMikeJuliet DCS Finland | SF squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sense too :) And the bug?: DCS chat in the "all" chat tab in lotATC shows every user as red regardless of side and regardless of which side the lotATC user is on. Affirm, I have no more the data from DCS from now. I need to rework this part, it is part of my todo list :) Thanks for this great feedback! :thumbup: [ https://www.lotatc.com ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypc Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hi ! With the changes to F10 map units labels in 2.5, I started using lotATC again, and I have a couple of suggestions / feature requests to improve readability. (most of it based on real world ATC software) I have this weird behavior with labels, when I hover a plane's label, it will reposition itself on the 6 of the plane. I find that extremely annoying, when i set a label on the right of the unit, I'd like it to stay there. An option to disable that behavior would be great. An option to make the link between unit icon and it's label more visible, I personally find it too discrete. An option to make labels showing up by default always at the same place (usually right side of the unit). A way to filter ground units off the map, most of the time I don't need to see them (only their threat range) and it makes the situation unreadable when planes fly over areas with many ground units (generally airfields). A way to apply multiple filters in the unit list, I generally want to display all planes and helicopters. Those are the most important things I can think of for now, I hope it can be implemented (especially label things, that's IMHO the most critical). I'm available for any questions/precision about what I mentioned above, and I'll come back with more feedback if I have any :pilotfly: "You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your level of preparation."

alfredo_laredo Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Congrats! Great Program Easy to use and excelent. I got a question, could it be possible to add some kind of audio Warning when new contacts appear not in the current screen and when Radar Contact is lost? I really dont know if this is how it works IRL Cant Wait for 1.1.0 for the server side Keys! A.K.A. Timon -117th- in game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skitter Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) I'd like to add one more request to the "my dreams come true LotATC wishlist". When playing AWACS, I often have flights, JTACs, giving me coordinates. Whether it is their location, Contact Point for CAS flights, shot down Pilot. Also I have lots of coordinates from briefings: Target locations, navigation points. It's possible to have eyes on location using the in game cursor and coordinates or enter them in the drawings .json file. But both methods are just too time consuming and not fit for a busy night. What would be perfect and I hope it wouldn't be hard to implement would be a button to add a point with text. But instead of pointing a cursor to the right location, a dialog window would pop-up with fields for coordinates: N/S & E/W and a name. That would be perfect !!! And it would solve so many problems !!! Cheers. Edited May 18, 2018 by Skitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DArt Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Agree with you :) With Alt+left click you can already put text on cursor location but it does not give the coordinates, I could add it. The missing part is to be able to add text draw within entering coordinates directly, it is on my todo list... Perhaps for the 1.1.0, who's know....

Vatikus Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I am considering buying lotatc, however I would like to know what AWACS/GCI functions does it have... especially if: - TA and AO data shows when you pair two contacts with BR line - Does it enable setting custom length of velocity vector for the pair (i.e. 7min) - Does it simulate MTI in a sense, that if contact drops into shadow that it can extrapolate and indicate Memory target If none of this is available, would it be considered for the future updates? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DArt Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 - TA and AO data shows when you pair two contacts with BR line BRAA between contact gives you: bearing, range, altitude, aspect. With the coming 1.1.0 in few days, you will have also interception cap/distance/time. All values can switch between imperial and metric units. - Does it enable setting custom length of velocity vector for the pair (i.e. 7min) Currently you can choose between 1 and 120 seconds (I can increase if needed) or the zoom independent mode. - Does it simulate MTI in a sense, that if contact drops into shadow that it can extrapolate and indicate Memory target Not at this moment, it is on my todo list, no ETA on that but certainly come on future releases... LotAtc is user-feedback driven, I try to implement what users need/ask (of course depending of time needed as I develop it after work and on night). So everything is possible in theory :D [ https://www.lotatc.com ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
