DJI Mavic 3 - Improved Version

This is an improved version of the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Drop mods originally created by Sam and DarkBall.
I've fixed several bugs, added new features, and made it better than the original.


Important Note:

This mod is NOT a Mavic 3 Simulator. Some functions have been simplified or omitted.


Specifications and Features:

  • Custom designed HUD for an immersive experience.
  • Auxiliary lights for illumination.
  • Highly visible collision light (can be turned off).
  • Scouting with 1x–28x zoom camera.
  • Thermal vision for heat source detection (Mavic 3T version).
  • Max Operation Distance: Default - 6 km (configurable in CBA settings).
  • Max Operation Height: 6000 m.
  • Max Flight Time: 30 minutes.
  • Grenade dropping capability for small bombing tasks.
  • Max carriable grenades: 2 (depending on weight).
  • Easily portable — fits in your uniform, vest, or backpack instead of requiring a bulky bag.
  • ACE compatibility for enhanced gameplay.

Usage:

  1. Deploying the Mavic:

    • With ItemMavic3 or Item_Mavic3 in your inventory, open the inventory menu and place the item on the ground to deploy the drone. The Mavic will align with the player's faction.
    • Control the Mavic through the UAV Terminal (ensure both the UAV and Terminal are on the same faction: Blufor=NATO, Opfor=CSAT, Independent=AAF, Civilian=Civilians).
  2. Camera Controls:

    • Press Ctrl + RMB to toggle the camera turret control mode, similar to the vanilla AL-6 Utility Drone.
  3. Charging:

    • Use the item Laser Battery via the action menu to charge the Mavic.
    • For ACE3 users, recharge via the ACE interaction menu using an ACE UAV Battery.
  4. Retrieving the Mavic:

    • Land the Mavic, turn off the engine, and perform the "Put Mavic in inventory" action (requires free inventory space).

Grenade Drops:

  • Attaching Grenades:
    Use the "Attach Grenade" action when supported grenades are in your inventory.
    (Supported grenade types can be customized via the CBA settings).

  • Dropping Grenades:
    Press the default G key to release the grenade (keybinding can be changed).

  • Detaching Grenades:
    Use the "Detach Grenade" action if the grenade is no longer needed.


Changes and New Features:

  • Enhanced collision light with toggleable on/off actions.
  • Improved sound effects.
  • Redesigned HUD with a new crosshair.
  • Configurable HUD units (speed, distance, height).
  • Integrated Mavic 3 Drop Mod.
  • Improved flight model and AI behavior.
  • Customizable grenade settings in CBA options.
  • Added civilian version.
  • Working bottom auxiliary light.
  • New "Reset Camera Position" action.
  • ACE Arsenal and Eden Editor compatibility.
  • Numerous bug fixes, including:
    • Fixed "can't leave UAV" issue.
    • Resolved HUD error spams and grenade inventory issues.
    • Improved grenade drop key compatibility (default key: G).

Future Plans:

  • Add more commands (e.g., RTH mode).
  • Fix additional bugs.
  • Implement mute sounds for the Mavic.

Known Issues:

  • Attaching "Timed Fuse (Normal) Grenade" may interfere with Mavic interactions.
  • Taking off protection occasionally activates at the wrong time, preventing crash damage (can be disabled in CBA settings).
  • Objects generated by the bottom light can confuse AI, causing them to climb continuously.
  • AI movement at high altitudes may gradually increase.

Notes:

  • No changes have been made to the 3D model.
  • Improvements focus on config and scripts.

Compatibility:

This mod is NOT compatible with other "Original Mavic 3" related mods or missions due to breaking changes.

Localization:

Currently supported languages:

  • English (EN), Japanese (JP), partially Russian (RU).
    If you're a native speaker of another language, please help with translations!
