LotAtc 4 DCS release! (public beta)
Hi,
We are (very) pleased to announce the release of LotAtc 4 DCS as a public beta (version 0.8.0) !
LotAtc 4 DCS is a software that allows you to simulate the role of an air traffic controller (namely, first, an Air Defense controller). LotAtc shows the tactical situation (aircraft, SAMs, boats) on a "radar screen" with a map background. As a virtual controller, you will be able to guide human virtual pilots in DCS World multiplayer missions, by radioing them (through your regular voice software such as Teamspeak, Mumble ... etc), whether to make them find their way and/or their leader, set up to your fighters to intercept bandits, or press the muds to hide or take shelter given what happens in front of them.
An example of a (simple) tactical situation, as displayed into LotAtc 4 DCS:

An ennemy bogey (pictured in red) is bound towards Sochi AB from the west, flying at high altitude (10,600m).
Two MiG-29As acting as GAI (Ground Alert Intercept), callsigns Guardian 51 and Guardian 52, were just scrambled from runway 24 to intercept the boguey. As they are friendly aircraft, they appear in white. Let's help them to find it: the MiG is kind of shortsighted, isn't it?
The leader MiG is already established on an interception course on the controller order, and is climbing through 2,700m.
The wingman has just taken off and appears on the radar screen. The controller then draws a bearing/distance calculation line with his mouse (yellow line + legend) to communicate to the second pilot the necessary elements to reach its target: "Guardian 52, Bandit strength 1, BRAA 300° 60km, 10,000m, Hot."
LotAtc 4 DCS is a dual software, composed of:
A server, which is a free module for DCS World (it works on DCS World 64-bit only, and is only available to the host of a multiplayer flight)
A client, which is a paid standalone application (available in 32- and 64-bit versions; it does not require DCS World to be installed on the computer)

This first version "0.8.0" is a public beta:
All features are not yet available. For the record, the roadmap of upcoming features is available on the LotAtc Features page of our official Wiki.
You are also likely to encounter a larger population of bugs than is usual within 'final' softwares. Rest assured that our bugs are considerably nicer (and cuter) than those from other softwares (just kidding) (seriously: they may bite, too). Nevertheless we believe that LotAtc is now sufficiently complete to enable an actual - and fun - use!

Since this is a beta, do not hesitate (really!) to challenge the developer with your questions, comments, desires or potential problems ... To do this, the Forums are available. You may write in English or in French, there. Do not forget to check out the Documentation of the software, available online as a Wiki (in English only for now).
Links:
Download page for the server and the client.
Purchase page (for the client). The price of the licence is 20€ (if you're an individual or a non-profit organization); the licence is valid for one computer.

Last but not least: We are pleased to confirm that a 'demo' version of the client software will be released soon to allow you to discover LotAtc 4 DCS. This - free - demo version is likely to contain limited features and/or a restricted play time; it's aimed to allow you to make your own idea about LotAtc before deciding (or not) to make a purchase.
Until today, the team has focused on the present release of the first beta "0.8.0". Thus, the demo will be available at a later date, probably around the time when the second beta "0.9.0" will be ready. If you want to try LotAtc 4 DCS before buying it, stay tuned we'll tell you more about the 'demo' soon ...
Thanks to all the members of the community who show support to the project. We hope (and sincerely believe) that you'll enjoy LotAtc 4 DCS for long hours of quality time with fellow simulation enthusiasts. Enjoy!
DArt & the LotAtc team.

molto bene... dcs e terze parti stanno andando nella giusta direzione mi sembra..

ma non ho capito.. cosa c'e' in demo scaricabile ora? Il lato server e non il client giusto?

[Brontolo]

Lato server è gratuito ma singolarmente inutile, il client si paga e in teoria non hai bisogno di avere neanche DCS installato per farlo funzionare.
Per ora è in beta non in demo, l'elenco completo delle funzionalità  che verranno implementate sono presenti sul sito.

[Heater]

Non credo di acquistarlo...non mi interessa il discorso ATC, 20€ sono troppi oltretutto. Preferisco volare e spendere soldi per qualcosa di più interessante come un nuovo modulo (considerazioni personali).

[Mago]

Ma basta che lo abbia l ATC.. ..

e siamo in due.

[Jay]

Per un gruppo come il nostro, con controllori umani che non necessariamente entrano nel simulatore, sarebbe davvero utile.

Concordo che 20€ non siano pochi, ma considerata la nicchia di utenti a cui il software è rivolto, e la sicuramente ampia mole di lavoro per crearlo, potrebbe essere giustificato imho

Io senza TARS non riesco proprio a volare...con la tecnologia che abbiamo ora, trovo alquanto scadente fare ancora il wheesper tra i vari canali (IMHO).
Come ho già  detto, è sicuramente un buon plugin, migliorerà  sicuramente, ma per me il discorso non cambia

[Jay]

Concordo al 100% per il TARS, ma è nella roadmap ufficiale...

[KiteX]

Se non funziona con tars sono d accordo. Che ce ne facciamo visto che voliamo in tars?
Ma spero che lo implementino..

[DragonITA]

Quando sarà  implementato con il TARS lo prendo di sicuro.
