  1. Came across an interesting video (seen by most, I guess) on a Mosquito being restored over time, link here: Between 39:23 to 39:49, Tom Burdge, WWII Mosquito Pilot - 248 Squadron, talks about the radio altimeter being set at various heights. The lowest being 35 feet. Below 35 feet, a red light showed. Between 35 and 50 feet, a green light showed. Above 50 feet, a yellow light showed. Would be nice to have this feature (light) added to the other outstanding features.
  2. @Drakoz Thank you for a very nice explanation plus the additional info on TCP sockets. I shall lookout for the discussions you refer too.
  3. @Drakoz Thank you for your response. I DO AGREE that the TARGET software have some powerful functions. This is evident by what yourself and other experienced users have achieved. As a novice user of the Script Editor and certainly not an experienced C coder, I have a lot to learn, and must still discover its full capabilities. My original post hinted at a lack of information (in my opinion) provided by Thrustmaster re exporting "data" using TCP sockets. The existing manual nowhere cover this particular topic. I can be wrong and it wouldn't be the first time. Smile.
  4. I have used this tool for viewing the effect of axis fine-tuning, etc. In this sense it is helpful. However, I wonder why the developers left out the option to physically export (via script, for example) axis values in real time? There is the option to export (record) axis values to a text file, but this is not very useful to me. This tool do also show a small console window reflecting the virtual controller's DirectX outputs in real time. I would have liked the option to "read" selected axis values in real time. Not precisely, but near similar, to reading data exported from DCS World via a network stream with a simple C# Console Application. Just a wish.
  5. Hi All, I'm trying to export the flap status of the F/A-18C into the Export.log without much success. Apologies for my lack of experience. Am I to use the following: LoGetMechInfo() -- mechanization info result_is = { flaps = {status,value} } Can someone show me how, please. Thank you. Here below is one of my simple export.lua I'm testing with: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- function LuaExportStart() package.path = package.path..";"..lfs.currentdir().."/LuaSocket/?.lua" package.cpath = package.cpath..";"..lfs.currentdir().."/LuaSocket/?.dll" socket = require("socket") IPAddress = "127.0.0.1" Port = 31090 MySocket = socket.try(socket.connect(IPAddress, Port)) MySocket:setoption("tcp-nodelay",true) end function LuaExportBeforeNextFrame() end function LuaExportAfterNextFrame() end function LuaExportStop() if MySocket then socket.try(MySocket:send("exit")) MySocket:close() end end function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t) local tNext = t local IAS = LoGetIndicatedAirSpeed() socket.try(MySocket:send(string.format("IAS: %.4f \n",IAS))) tNext = tNext + 1.0 return tNext end -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  6. Hello. Not sure where to post this. Busy with constructing (in English) an "audio dialog sketch/shore-based" associated with the naval fighter plane F/A-18C Hornet. In a scenario where a fighter pilot arrives at his plane, does an outside physical inspection check, climbs into his cockpit, go through pre-flight procedures, get go-ahead from flight captain, get clearance from ATC before rolling to take-off runway, then take-off…..anyone know what actual verbal dialog (in real life) might take place at a shore-based airfield between crew chief, flight captain, pilot and ATC? Of importance would be correct personnel designation, operational brevity words and military procedure/custom. Any ex-service personnel that can also help (Thank you for your service.)? Thanks.
  7. Hi John I would also be interested. I have subscribed to your channel. Best regards.
  8. I'm not happy with any of the options, so I can't vote. BTW, what is meant by DCS 3.0? A total rewrite of the entire sim?
