Vehicle Racks (requires ACE3 Interaction Menu)


Vehicle racks are back to ACRE2. The use of racked radios translates into longer transmission ranges due to their increase in power and the use of larger antennas. The current system supports the following racks:


AN/VRC-103 for the AN/PRC-117F
AN/VRC-110 for the AN/PRC-152
AN/VRC-111 for the AN/PRC-148
AN/VRC-64 for the AN/PRC-77
SEM90 for the SEM70 (with GUI interface)



Overhauled Vehicle Intercom (requires ACE3 Interaction Menu)



The new intercom system integrates with the vehicular radios, allowing transmit and receive functionality to seats without physical access to the racks. In addition, it brings support for multiple intercom networks and the ability to tweak intercom volume among other features.



Together with intercom, comes the infantry phone feature, which allows members of mechanized infantry to communicate through the intercom system with the crew inside an armored vehicle.



External/Shared Radios (requires ACE3 Interaction Menu)



It is now possible to share radios with other comrades without the need of giving them. This works for personal, backpack radios and vehicular radios.



API



API functions that deal with vehicular radios have been added for mission makers. Namely:



acre_api_fnc_addRackToVehicle
acre_api_fnc_areVehicleRacksInitialized
acre_api_fnc_getMountedRackRadio
acre_api_fnc_getVehicleRacks
acre_api_fnc_getVehicleRacksPreset
acre_api_fnc_initVehicleRacks
acre_api_fnc_isRackRadioRemovable
acre_api_fnc_mountRackRadio
acre_api_fnc_removeRackFromVehicle
acre_api_fnc_setVehicleRacksPreset
acre_api_fnc_unmountRackRadio






Improvements



A new version is not exempt of optimizations, improvements and fixes, like the signal calculation fix after the 1.82 update. Translations have also received some attention although 100% localization is not yet accomplished.
