This mod enhances the UCAV Sentinel drone to make it a more deadly and effective ISR / UAV platform, the changes are as follows: -Reduces max speed of the AI to 650kph so you don't speed past the target as quickly, manual flight will allow you to fly faster than 650kph. -Changes the zoom capabilities of the turret camera Zoom levels are as follows: 0.5x 2.5x 5.0x 10.0x 20.0x 30.0x 40.0x -Extends the ACE AGM-65 "Maverick" missile time of flight, this ensures the missile does not prematurely detonate before reaching the target. You can find the aircraft under: BLUFOR > NATO > Drones > UCAV Sentinel Enhanced I highly suggest a mod like TAW View Distance to increase your view distance past 12 km.

This mod enhances the capabilities of ISR turrets on both vanilla and addon UAVs and Helicopters. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1623498241 Current features: -Configurable keybinds for adding markers (NEW 2019-02-03) -Options dialog via CBA to disable GUI elements (NEW 2019-02-03) -Measure distance (2D) & heading between two points (NEW 2019-01-30) -Slew turret to position on map via click (must be zommed in one level so the camera is geolocked) -Slew turret to typed coordinates (6, 8 or 10 digit grids) -Grid indicator for where turret is pointing (With 6, 8 or 10 digit grids as of 2019-02-04) -Add Black, Blue or Red numbered markers on the map where the turret is pointing -A North marker in the turret view for situational awareness -Server key included -Support for most vehicles with a turret that inherits the base UAV, Helicopter or Plane class within ARMA -Only needs to run client-side (thanks MGZoltan for testing!) -Turret azimuth, elevation and aircraft heading indicators (NEW 2019-11-30) -Change Altitude for UAVs (NEW 2020-08-26) -UAV Weapon Status Report (NEW 2020-08-30) -UAV VMS (Vehicle Management System) reset (i.e. a reset in case the UAV becomes bugged) (NEW 2020-08-30) -Change Loiter Radius for UAVs (NEW 2020-08-30) Planned Features: -Rangefinding between two points ala the Vector from ACE3 - Done -Support for 8 - 10 digit grid input - Done -Slew to typed coordinates - Done -Support for planes (e.g AC-130) - Done -Auto turret unlock once slew complete - Done Features under consideration: -10 Digit Grids for Grid Indicator - Done -3D Distance Measurement -Real-Time Distance Measurement Method -MTI (Moving Target Indicator) -More advanced markers -Language support -ACE-specific version -Locked/Unlocked status of turret (May be an engine limitation) -Eliminate the black "mask" on vanilla UAVs in the turret gunner's view - Need help, I can't figure this one out. I was hoping it was just a .paa reference. Known Issues: -The turret on the USAF MQ-9 needs to be zoomed in one level before slewing will work -The turret only seems to be accurate within a few meters Marker and slewing interactions are accessed through the vanilla scroll menu when actively looking through the turret of a UAV or helicopter. This addon started as an update to UAVs for my private gaming group. Along the way I realized that a small handful of UAVs in ARMA are actually defined as helicopters (BIS?) so the scope grew to include helicopters. My group has really been enjoying the additional functionality so I thought I'd share. Due to requests, I've also added this feature for planes. The intent of this mod is for it to work on ALL UAVs, Helicopters and Planes with a turret. I've tested this with the following assets successfully so far: -Vanilla AR-2 Darter -Vanilla MQ-4A Greyhawk -Vanilla A-164 Wipeout -Vanilla AH-99 Blackfoot -CUP MQ-9 Reaper -CUP MH-6 -USAF MQ-9 Reaper -RHS MH-6 -RHS A-10 -USAF AC-130 Spooky 2 -USAF RQ-4A Global Hawk -Firewill's F-22, F-16C & A-10 The addon does not work with the following: -None known. Please let me know I'd like to build a comprehensive listing of assets this mod does and does not work with. If you try this with other assets, please let me know. Default keybinds: Add Black Marker - Shift+1 Add Blue Marker - Shift +2 Add Red Marker - Shift +3 Please let me know if you have any issues. I'm specifically interested in assets this doesn't work on. If it's something I can fix, then I'll plan on getting it working. If the assets inherits its base class from something other than UAV, Helicopter or Plane then there may not be much I can do. Post up with feature requests. I may not get to them all, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks to the following folks for help with this: -Killzone Kid -AgentRev -GuyFauwx -ThreadAssessment -commy2 -DevTeam Paxton -Lasket & TrainOfThought6 for Distance Measure Feature idea -The CBA-A3 team for their awesome and easy to use settings system -SGT Fuller & the USAF team -JacobZeD for testing Firewill's Assets & bringing them to my attention -sync0s -kju2 for his notes on multiple display optics and the need to use the IDD layer -Ski for his technical input on the MQ-9 displays And, of course, thanks to BIS for ARMA 3!
