This mod enhances the capabilities of ISR[en.wikipedia.org] turrets on both vanilla and addon UAVs, Planes & Helicopters.

-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 (will use your current chat channel)
-A North marker in the turret view for situational awareness
-Server key included

Planned Features:
-

Features under consideration:
-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

Known Issues:
-Some users are experiencing "flickering" of the UI elements
-The turret on the USAF MQ-9, RQ-4A needs to be zoomed in one level before slewing will work
-The turret only seems to be accurate within a few meters
-The addon doesn't work with CUP helicopters - I don't plan on fixing this unless it affects a lot of people. The fix would require CBA XEH - Fixed 2019-02-03
-GUI elements conflict with ITC - Fixed via settings dialog 2019-02-03

Marker and slewing interactions are accessed through the vanilla scroll menu when actively looking through an aircraft turret.

The intent of this mod is for it to work on ALL UAVs, Planes and Helicopters with a turret.

Default keybinds:
Add Black Marker - Shift+1
Add Blue Marker - Shift +2
Add Red Marker - Shift+3

You MAY use this addon as part of an addon package. You MAY also pull out the .pbo files and include them in your own addon.

This addon pairs well with one of my other addons:
