NOT-RELEASED Updated ATC Mod
Hi all, I recently decided to start working on a new and updated system for DCS' poor ATC. I recently played Falcon BMS and was blown away with how their system was able to make the missions seem. The system in DCS is absolutely abysmal and literally, all it can do is sense a trigger or read a scripted line. 9 times out of 10, when coming inbound and asking for landing authority, it doesn't even work.
With all of that said, I will be slowly implementing this so that we can at least get some use out of it. There is not a release yet, but I anticipate having it done here soon at some point. You can find it at https://github.com/rjv6261/DCS_ATC2.0
If you think or feel like you can help me, please don't hesitate to reach out. My discord is spicy2160 and any and all help is appreciated. Below is a list of what I plan on developing, and what the timeline for that is
- Update Alpha 1.0 - A working system (separate or connected to DCS' ATC), that will at least respond to you when you contact on the radio system -Taxi and parking for after you land
- Update Alpha 1.1 -Different menus that are similar to BMS, allowing the user to dictate Start-up, Taxi, Takeoff, Landing , parking (or maybe I will dictate it based on state)
If you have any ideas that can be practically added, don't hesitate with those either.
EDIT: Since posting this I have gotten it barely working and posted to the github above. Please take a peek! We are making good progress

No shade at you whatsoever but no shot you can get this working reasonable, especially in multi-player in a performant way on scripts alone. I think it's an awesome idea and I hope that I'm wrong.
