Moose 2.7.14

Moose 2.7.14

Late August 2022 updates and fixes from the latest open beta release of DCS! Skipping 2.7.13 because it's not Friday ... ;)

AIRBASE

Added three new airbases in the enumerator for the new South Atlantic (Falklands) map. Note that the magnetic deviation is given in UTILS as +12. Actually, however, there's a LOT of deviation across the map as we are closer to the South Pole. Deviation actually varies between 9 to 12 degrees North to South and 16 to 4 West to East (but not in time when changing years).

AIRBOSS

Added WIP support for the HMS Invincible

ATC_GROUND

Added new class ATC_GROUND_UNIVERSAL which works on any map without further ado, thanks to the additions @funkyfranky made to AIRBASE in order to autodetect and build runway zones! Legacy sub-class names kept for compatibility.

RANGE

A number of fixes to info attainable from the F10 menu, added instructor and range control radio information. Thanks to Caponi.

MSRS

Added MSRSQUEUE by @funkyfranky - a radio queue for SRS to avoid overlapping messages.

.... and as usual lot of minor corrections, documentation, ... you name it.

Enjoy!

Moose 2.7.8.1

Moose 2.7.8.1

Happy New Year!

AIRBASE & ATC

This release fixes the renamed airbases on the Nevada NTTR map.

Whilst some of the names have changed, we left the enumerator as-is (mostly) for maximum backwards compatibility. Note that the "_3Q0" from Mina Airport has gone in the enumerator, too.

--- Airbases of the Nevada map:
--
--   * AIRBASE.Nevada.Creech_AFB
--   * AIRBASE.Nevada.Groom_Lake_AFB

Moose 2.7.8

Moose 2.7.8

Last release for 2021! Happy Holidays!

General

A LOT of work has gone into reviewing the documentation and making it error free(-er .. of sorts ;) ) - a BIG THANK YOU! to @TommyC81 (Discord: Cartok) for making this happen. :)

Bugfixing

A number of bugs have been found and squashed thanks to our very active community! This is true for SET, CTLD, CSAR, GROUP, MANTIS, SEAD, RANGE, UTILS ... and many more.

SET

Filter options for objects in zones have been added for SET_GROUP, SET_UNIT, SET_STATIC, SET_CLIENT and SET_PLAYER. You can now use :FilterZones(...) with these sets. Note that, obviously as before, a SET will be updated when a new GROUP, UNIT etc is spawned - and not if and when something enters or leaves a zone. https://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE_DOCS/Documentation/Core.Set.html##(SET_GROUP).FilterZones

Enjoy!
