TransmitterPDU is missing on dis7

[semihkurt]

TransmitterPdu is missing on include/dis7 though it is not deprecated in DIS 7 officially . In addition to this, it exists on Java repository OpenDIS Java.

I am implementing DIS by using this repository thanks to you, I realized that something is missing in Radio Transmission part because newly added PDUs does not completely represent Radio Transmission. Then I found DIS6 vs DIS7 PDF and it seemsTransmitterPdu has not been deprecated on DIS 7.

I also realized that if any Developer wants to use DIS 7:

1. They have to update classes inside Utils folder so I suggest that Utils folder should be created inside dis7 and dis6 folders.
2. They have to add missing PDUs on DIS 6 to DIS 7 project and update them.
3. They need to update TransmitterPDU for DIS 7 use (ex: RadioEntityType becomes RadioType on dis7 and some other details.)

If you can grant me access on some branch, I can work on that branch and make a pull request to you.

@leif81 Hello,
I've started to update TransmitterPdu in my fork and will put a pull request, thanks.

I found a document that compares dis 6 and dis 7 changes. Could you validate this document whether it is correct DIS v6 v7 because there are some additions required.

[leif81]

Yes that document is a good source for what's different between v6 and v7.

[semihkurt]

Thanks for validating the document Leif. I've made some initial changes on TransmitterPDU and made a pull request. If you allow me, I can contribute more as I currently work on DIS domain. I'm gonna add more missing PDUs into my fork and create new pull requests on further days.

By the way, when should I close this thread ? After merge or something?

[leif81]

Sounds great. Yes let's leave open until merge .

Hey Leif,

In order for you to review two pull requests seperately, I've closed my Transmitter PDU pull request, after I finish it completely I am gonna open a new pull request from seperate branch.
