Mavic 3 - Improved

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

Some functions have been purposely omitted and simplified.

• Custom designed HUD for immersive experience.
  
• Can be illuminated by auxiliary lights.
  
• Highly visible collision light (also can be turned off)
  
• Scouting with up to 1x~28x Zoom Camera
  
• Thermal vision for heat source detection. (Mavic 3T version)
  
• Max Operation Distance: Default - 6KM (You can change at CBA addonOption)
  
• Max Operation Height: 6000m
  
• Max Flight Time: 30 Minutes.
  
• Dropping grenades. Small bomber.
  
• Max Carriable Grenades: 2 (depending on the weight)
  
• Easy to carry - Fits in your Uniform, Vest or Backpack as an inventory item. Instead of a bulky backpack.
  
• Supports ACE

• With "ItemMavic3" or "Item_Mavic3" in your inventory, Open the inventory menu and place the item on the ground to deploy the Mavic. The Mavic will automatically be the same as the player side.
  
• The Mavic can be controlled from the UAV Terminal just like a normal drone.
  Tips: The UAV Terminal must be on the same side as the player and UAV.
  (Blufor=NATO, Opfor=CSAT, Independent=AAF, Civilian=Civilians)
  
• Press L.Ctrl+RMB ("Targeting Camera" Key) to toggle camera turret control mode, like as vanilla Utility Drone (AL-6).
  
• You can control the turret(switch the camera) by using the "Targeting Camera" key (default: L.Ctrl+RMB). (In case you didn't read the above.)
  
• You can charge your Mavic from action menu with using the item "Laser Battery".
  If you are using ACE3, you can charge Mavic from ACE interaction with ACE UAV Battery.
  
• If you want to retrieve it, Land the Mavic and turn off engine. Then perform the action "Put Mavic in inventory" (You need free space in your inventory)

--- Grenade Drops

• You can attach a grenade to the Mavic by using the "Attach Grenade" action while the supported grenade is in your inventory.
  (Type of grenades are can be added at CBA addonOption. Should be class name of magazine "CfgMagazines")
  
• The attached grenade can be dropped by pressing the "G" key while controlling the Mavic. (Key can be change)
  
• If you no longer need to drop it, you can detach it by using the "Detach Grenade" action.

• Better collision light with new config. Not too brightly!
  
• "Collision Light Off/On" action on Mavic.
  
• Improved sound
  
• Enhanced HUD and new crosshair
  
• Changeable HUD speed/distance/height units
  
• addonOption allows you to choose between ascent and descent speeds or heading in HUD.
  
• Selectable crosshairs in addonOption
  
• Partially working map (currently just shows current direction. Fixed to north, can be used as a simple compass)
  
• Mavic 3 Drop Mod is Integrated.
  
• Improved configurations: Flight model are fixed and tweaked. AI is now flying correctly. Rewritten grenade names and descriptions, Damages... Many tweaks.
  
• Battery persistence in inventory.
  
• Better inventory weight: Now set to 2.00 lb (0.91 kg).
  
• ACE Arsenal and Eden editor inventory compatibility.
  
• Many bug fixes: Fixes "can't leave UAV" bug, HUD error spams, Grenade missing when put in inventory, etc...
  
• Civilian version added.
  
• Actual working "Bottom auxiliary light".
  
• New grenade drop key: Improved compatibility with key inputs. The new default key is G.
  
• Enable/Disable attaching grenade feature from addon option.
  
• Customizable grenade settings: You can now add grenades via the CBA Game Options menu. Note: If you attach normal grenade, it's create the "GroundWeaponHolder" include grenade and attach the mavic.
  
• "Deadman switch" for Attached Grenades
  
• "Reset Camera Position" action.
  
• Vanilla UAV interface now available from addonOption.

Future Plans:
- More "Commands" (RTH mode and more)
- Bug Hunting
- Mute sounds on Mavic (Mavic 3 has no mic. so don't listening environment sounds)

Known Issues:
I'll fix in feature............maybe.........maybe not?

• When "Timed Fuse (Normal) Grenade" attached to mavic, may interfere with interaction with the Mavic, this making it impossible to select actions such as Attach/Detach grenade and etc.
  (You can still can action while inside the drone and operating it)
  
• Takeoff protection function was sometimes applied at the wrong timing. No damage to occur even when the drone crash hard to ground.
  (You can disable this function in addonOption)
  
• Objects generated by bottom light feature cause AI to keep climbing.
  
• When AI moves horizontally, it keeps increasing altitude a little. When it reaches the destination, it drops to the set altitude.
  
• RPT error SPAM. that caused by model issue. I'm not model creator so I can't fix it any way.

There are no changes to the 3D model.
Improvements are focused on config and scripts. I'm not 3D model creator.

This mod NOT compatible with other "Original Mavic 3" related/required mods/missions.
This mod has breaking changes from original Mavic 3 mod.

I want you for localization! Tell me if you are native!

Recommendation:
