Sneaker

Sneaker is a browser-based radar and GCI simulation designed for use with Tacview and DCS: World. Users are presented with a simulated radar scope that provides air, sea and optionally land targets with speed/altitude/type information. Additionally Sneaker provides some GCI-specific functionality:

• Configure per-aircraft or profile based threat and warning radius's that provide visual and auditory cues for trespasses.
• Searching, tagging, and watching flights allows you to reduce workload and allow a controller to work across many flights and packages.
• Mission clock and hack timers for command and coordination.

A live example of Sneaker can be viewed here.

Installation

1. Download the latest released version from here.
2. Create a configuration file based off the example, replacing the required information (and optionally adding multiple servers to the array)
3. Run the executable with the configuration path: sneaker-server.exe --config config.json

Discord Integration

Sneaker features a built-in Discord integration which provides basic server information and GCI duty tracking via Discord slash-commands.

1. Create a new Discord Application and configure the Interactions Endpoint URL to point at your Sneaker installations /api/discord/interactions endpoint.
2. Add a Bot to the application (this is used to DM users about GCI duty timeouts)
3. Add the bot to your server by opening a link generated here. You only need the applications.commands scope.
4. Add the following to your config.json:

"discord": {
  "application_id": "<discord application id, bunch of numbers>",
  "application_key": "<discord public key, bunch of letters/numbers>",
  "token": "<discord bot token>",
  "state_path": "<optional path to a location to save GCI duty state between restarts>",
  "timeout": "<number of minutes before gci is automatically logged off duty, default = 60>",
  "reminder": "<number of minutes before timeout to warn gci via discord, default = 5>"
}

Documentation

• API provides information on the internal Sneaker API.

Web UI

The Sneaker web UI presents an emulated radar scope over top a Open Street Map rendered via maptalks. The web UI is updated at a configurable simulated refresh rate (by default 5 seconds).

Bullseye

Bullseye information for the current cursor position is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen, additionally the bullseye icon is rendered in its position on the map.

BRAA

A BRAA line can be drawn by right clicking anywhere on the map and dragging. Additionally if you press the "s" (snap) key while starting the BRAA line on-top of an existing track the starting point will be locked to the tracks position.

Mission Timer & Hack Timers

The mission timer is available in the bottom left corner. Clicking on the timer will create a new hack timer which will display above.
