[FEATURE REQUEST] Support for Black Shark 3 Ka50_3

[Xtrasher]

As in the title. would be cool to get BS3 support too :) looks like it's the same as for the BS2 but elseif is triggering "unsupported modul". copying the Ka50 code and name it Ka50_3 in a second elseif worked for me in debug (looks like, need more testing) but i am to stupid to compile that stuff.

It just needs the name added in WaypointManager.java, much like A-10C and A-10C_2

I have compiled one with Ka-50_3 support, anyone can use this as a temporary solution before aronCiucu releases an official one.

Cool thank you very much :-) will test it later.

Hi GoldJohnKing,

Thanks for the fix. I wonder how I can display the point I selected on F10 map in ABRIS. It appears that the point can be entered into PVI-800 but I do not know how to display it in ABRIS. All tutorials I saw online talked about drawing waypoints first in ABRIS and enter them in PVI-800, but none of them talked about how to do it the other way around (if it is ever possible).

Yes thats normal you need to add/edit the FPL (Flightplan) on the ABRIS yourself ... Its a while ago so can't tell you how right out of the head ... but it is possible somwhere on the abris to add/edit a waypoints. i learned how to a while back from youtube. Most times i just use the PVI so ....

It seems that there is no way to enter coordinates into ABRIS...

Not waypoint input on abris but you can use NAV TGT on PVI-800 and they will be shown on ABRIS when selected. https://youtu.be/qv6lzVYQF98?t=140 Maybe that helps a bit.

quick question, I'm looking to do a similar thing to add modded f16 support, got it working, but can't compile it into a similar style package, can you advise me on what you did?

cheers

I'm looking to do the same myself. I was going to submit a PR, but wanted to export it so I could test my change on my end.

can't remember exactly, but you need maven (a build tool), then you need to add this file. I also think you need a JRE in the folder too so people without java installed can use the app

(I figured this out from @GoldJohnKing 's branch of the repo)

otherwise, just make a pull request and i can compile changes if you want

[blueberrypi-studio]

@e-LEMONator have you been able to test it at all? because you can just run the project (took a bit of fiddling to get working, but I was able to test it in its raw .java from visual studio code to test it)

[e-LEMONator]

I can try building with Maven in IntelliJ and running to see if I can test it. I'm just not sure what the compiled output is supposed to look like. Granted, it looks like https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay/pull/57 is doing basically the same thing I was going to submit a PR for.

click here for my comment on a closed issue about this

and here is my compiled release, with KA50-3 support

[e-LEMONator]

Ah! That works. So you just compiled it to be an executable and included the JRE? Hopefully that will get merged into the main branch/release at some point.

Unlikely, the Dev is currently developing a new version, and I believe that will incorporate the new aircraft. but for now this is plenty good enough. if you want to keep up with the development its the same repo, just on a branch called electron

Added in the newest release
