Modules
| Module | Description | Sub-mode |
| NAV | Navigation - requires either a GPS item or GPS-equipped vehicle | rotation |
| SLA | Sling-load Assistant - only available in vehicles capable of slingloading | n/a |
| SENS | Sensors Display - tactical awareness display that combines information about tracked targets from all sensors and about threats (Arma_3_Sensors#User_Interface | ranges |
| CAM Drone | Drone Feed - requires UAV terminal item | spectrum |
| CAM Driver | Driver Feed - usually available for commanders and gunners in tanks and for pilots (as a Targeting Pod or a Sling-load camera feed) | spectrum |
| CAM Gunner | Gunner Feed - usually available for pilots and drivers and commanders in tanks | spectrum |
| CAM Commander | Commander Feed - usually available for drivers and gunners in tanks | spectrum |
| CAM Missile | Missile Feed - available mostly on few attack aircrafts, feed is initiated after a missile with camera feed capability is fired | n/a |
| CREW | Crew Display - shows crew members' names, cargo occupancy, transport capacity, sling-loaded vehicle | n/a |
Configuration
The new Sensor system gets enabled by defining a VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponentLeft (left display) or VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponentRight (right display) class inside the vehicle's Components class.
class MyVehicle_F : MyBaseVehicle_F
{
class Components : Components
{
class VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponentLeft : DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerLeft
{
};
class VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponentRight : DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerRight
{
};
};
};
For simplicity the class can inherit from one of the defaults. You can also inherit from one of the premade templates that are available in the configFile root.
For tank roles - each template adds camera feeds from the other two positions
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftDriver
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightDriver
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftCommander
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightCommander
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftGunner
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightGunner
For (some) pilots and copilots - template adds a Sensors display and a Driver feed camera (e.g. pilotCamera)
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftPilot
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightPilot
Automatic usage & backwards compatibility
If the Vehicle doesn't have the VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponent defined one of the two default pairs is used.
// core definitions, do not override
DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerLeft
DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerRight
DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerLeftSensors
DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerRightSensors
The pair of defaults with Sensors suffix is used whenever the vehicle had radarType defined as air radar or ground radar. It adds Sensors display in addition to the normal default displays.
