IMPORTANT - Please report any issues on DTC Discord - https://discord.gg/saCACg99EZ by creating a post in the Bugs section.
The file format for this version has changed. It should automatically read your current preset files, but if you have issues please report as a bug.

• UI: Clicking … on coordinate text fields allows coordinate conversion between various formats
• UI: App window now remembers its position on startup
• Upload: Added visual indication in DCS while uploading is taking place
• Upload: app now ignores double-upload (uploading while one is already taking place)

• Upload: Added display upload selection: “Auto-select” only uploads displays for current station in DCS, and “Pilot and WSO” switches between the seats to upload both
• Capture dialog: Added capture to specific smart weapon stations
• Waypoints: Added routes A, B and C

Version 5.3.4

See the README for install and usage instructions: https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc/blob/main/README.md

Features

[General] Added coordinate conversion and copy/paste support for all coordinate textboxes. This means you can copy/paste from the DCS coordinate window (the Alt+Click window) or just copy/paste any coordinate in any format, and if its valid it will be accepted. Also the 3-dots button to the right of the textbox will open a little window showing the same coordinate in different formats, and these fields are also modifiable.
[F15E] Added Smart Weapons page to the display programming

Bugfixes

[General] Upload page settings now persists correctly across all jets

New Features

[General] New VR-friendly coordinate capture method. Ctrl+Shift+D will open a window while in a mission allowing you to capture coordinates and send to the DTC app.

Version 5.1.0

See the README for install and usage instructions: https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc/blob/main/README.md

New Features

• [F15E] Added Radio and Radio Presets configuration
• [F15E] Added Display configuration for WSO

Limitations

From either seat (pilot/WSO) it is not possible to change displays on the other seat, given that the displays are only rendered when you occupy the respective position. That is the reason for the exclusive choice in the Upload page between uploading Pilot or WSO displays.

Furthermore, the other settings (Waypoints, Radios, Misc) are only tested to work from the pilot seat. Currently there is no way to detect which seat is occupied from the LUA API. If such means become available in the future, a more streamlined system can be developed.

Therefore, the suggestion is for the pilot to upload everything except the WSO displays, and the WSO upload only its displays.
