Claus Hemberg Joergensen Posted July 27, 2019 at 09:10 PM Posted July 27, 2019 at 09:10 PM As discussed in other thread in this forum, I have made a simple little Radio Direction Finder plugin for Euroscope. It helps you locating the active pilot on the frequency by drawing a circle around the tag while transmitting (click middle button to redraw when transmission has ended). If aircraft is outside the current screen area, a line will be drawn, in the direction of the aircraft.

Alex Amorianos Posted July 29, 2019 at 05:42 AM Posted July 29, 2019 at 05:42 AM Does it work with the latest ES beta 3.2a(r20)? Trying to load it and I receive "Failed to load plugin DLL". Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claus Hemberg Joergensen Posted July 29, 2019 at 05:52 AM Author Posted July 29, 2019 at 05:52 AM Does it work with the latest ES beta 3.2a(r20)? Trying to load it and I receive "Failed to load plugin DLL". I suppose so. Other users have solved a similar problem by installing this package, before loading the plugin: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 that can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads Worth a try Claus Hemberg Joergensen Vatsim Membership Manager - Americas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Amorianos Posted July 29, 2019 at 07:07 AM Posted July 29, 2019 at 07:07 AM Thanks Claus. That did the trick. I had only installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. Great plugin! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Ferran Posted August 22, 2019 at 06:37 PM Posted August 22, 2019 at 06:37 PM Hey Claus, Great plugin, thank you for the contribution! You're doing me a favour as I was still regularly receiving emails about making the RDF part of my MUAC plugin independent One thing you might consider is threading the function that calls the web server. In the current way you have your plugin implemented, you risk blocking the main Euroscope thread while you make your HTTP reuquest, which would essentially freeze Euroscope, especially since GetActivePilotCallsign gets called quite often when controlling a busy frequency. My code does this if you need inspiration but my implementation is definetly not perfect. Good luck! vSMR Plugin for EuroScope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think of that in the first place, but that is of course the right way to do it - newbie ES plugin developer here, so all help appreciated Best regards Claus Hemberg Joergensen Vatsim Membership Manager - Americas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn Rammeloo Posted September 17, 2019 at 06:48 PM Posted September 17, 2019 at 06:48 PM Hi Claus, Are you planning to update the plugin in order for it to work with 'Audio for VATSIM'? Cheers, Martijn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Martijn Hi Martijn. Yes, I am contact with two of the AFV developers and we have a plan for moving forward on this. If it will be ready before the new AFV hits the real servers, I cannot say at this early time, but at least we have a plan.

Martijn Rammeloo Posted October 14, 2019 at 07:43 PM Posted October 14, 2019 at 07:43 PM Claus, Any news? The standalone client is aware of the transmitting callsign, so I guess the plugin could do the same? (As there is no longer a working voice-list in ES, a RDF is even more convenient than before) Cheers, Martijn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose Gary Oliver has been extremely busy the recent weeks so didn't wanna bother him again. When things have settled I'll try to get in contact again so I can move forward with the plugin. /Claus Claus Hemberg Joergensen Vatsim Membership Manager - Americas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claus Hemberg Joergensen Posted October 16, 2019 at 12:24 AM Author Posted October 16, 2019 at 12:24 AM The RDF plugin has now been updated to work with AFV. It requires at least version 1.6.32 of the AFV Standalone Client.
