Zoom_InandZoom_Outkeys. Only units with a cTab device in your own group are displayed. The MicroDAGR can also operate as a companion device to the Tablet (i.e. you are carrying both) and in that case the MicroDAGR will show you the same BFT data as your Tablet. - Added configurable server-side list of helmets that define the presence of a helmet camera, defaulting to vanilla ArmA 3 and BWmod helmet models with a camera.

- Lists of UAVs and helmet cameras are now alphabetically sorted
- Reworked helmet "full-screen" view to only occupy the whole screen of the Tablet instead of the whole screen
- Added ability to remove marker at mouse cursor position. The marker currently under the cursor will be highlighted and removed upon pressing DEL (delete on your keyboard).
- Made significant improvements to marker network synchronization. Instead of having an individual client manipulate the list of markers and then send it to every other client, a marker addition / deletion request will now be sent to the server and the server will inform all clients of the change by sending just what has changed.
- Players sitting in the back of the trucks (HMTT and Tempest by default) now no longer have access to the vehicle based FBCB2

- Added an "Exit" menu entry to the map double-click dialog (the one you place map markers with)

- Tweaked map visuals to be easier to read
- General performance tweaks
- Added new keybinding (ALT + H) to allow access to alternative interface (i.e. to get access to the Tablet that is being carried while in one of the pilot seats of a helicopter)
- Infantry carrying a cTab device in your own group will now show with a smaller infantry icon that points in the direction of the unit as well as the index of that unit within the group (instead of a square infantry symbol with the full group ID). To anyone outside this group, there will only be a single icon shown for the group at the position of the group's leader (if equipped with a cTab device, otherwise the next unit in line).
- Infantry groups will now automatically show the group strength with dots above the icon
- Changed BFT list generation and display functions to help de-clutter everyone's view. For example transports will no longer show overlayed icons for other units with cTab equipment that are mounted. Instead, the names of groups and the group indices of units from your own group will be displayed to the left of the transport's icon.
- The arrow on the inner TAD range circle (that used to show north) will now rotate with the direction of the aircraft to help show the current direction of travel

- Excluded static weapons from showing up on BFT
- Added ability to define custom names for vehicles via the mission or scripts
- Fixed "_chk_all_items" script error that could appear during Zeus (and probably other) missions
- Reduced network traffic by moving the list generation of tracked elements from the server to the clients The server now sends an update pulse to all clients every 30 seconds (previous update interval was 20), instead of sending the whole list to every client. The clients then generate the list locally. This lessens the server load a little (shifting it to the clients), greatly reduces cTab related network traffic, while hopefully keeping the list content the same across clients since they update (almost) at the same time.
- Addition of messaging system (currently on Tablet only) Send text messages between team members equipped with tablets.
- Addition of cTab equipment box to be used in editor A simple box filled with your favourite cTab equipment. Includes 5 Tablets, 15 Android devices and 25 helmet cameras. The box is also available to Zeus.
- Tablet, Android and helmet camera are now available in Zeus when editing the contents of boxes
- Addition of TAD (Tactical Awareness Display) for use in air vehicles.
There are two variants, one is small and can be kept visible while operating your aircraft, similar to the GPS but populated with information from your cTab network. The map will be kept centred on your current position. In the upper right hand corner of the screen you can see the current scale represented by the radius of the outer circle. The inner circle is exactly half of that.
The other variant is a larger representation of the same TAD, but in an interactive mode and you will lose your vehicle controls while open.
Overall the TAD has been modelled to have a similar look to the TAD found in the DCS A-10C module.
All friendly aircraft icons are replaced with a little circle that has a small line attached to it, representing the current orientation of that vehicle.
When in one of the pilot seats of an aircraft, press
IF_Mainto open or close the small TAD. Use the newZoom_InandZoom_Outkeys to zoom the small TAD.IF_Secondaryopens the large TAD. - Addition of userconfig for key bindings
This frees up the previously used
UserAction12. - Addition of vehicle arrays to userconfig (server side) to define vehicles equipped with on-board FBCB2 or TAD The lists will be read by the server and distributed to all clients. It can also be overridden by mission makers.
- cTab now closes when exiting a vehicle or when the player is killed
- Added Ifrit, Strider and Tempest to the default list of FBCB2 enabled vehicles.
- Players sitting in the cargo area of an FBCB2 enabled vehicle will no longer have access to the vehicle based FBCB2. The currently known exceptions are the trucks (HMTT and Tempest), they are working as before. We are waiting on a new command in ArmA3 release 1.26 to hopefully be able to address this.
- Fixed error appearing when helmet cam screen was selected on the tablet for the first time
- Added artillery and mortar symbols
- The increase / decrease font function now actually resizes the fonts (in addition to the symbols as before)
- General performance improvements and bug fixes
