Magic stuff Olgerd, does the new avionics design include the ability to export just a little more than is down today in LUA? For us pit builders and second screenies being able to see Gear, Flap, and Brake status would be a wonderful thing. I'm seriously impressed with the 1.1 capabilities including being able to export pylon information :) Cheers Peter

Can we get Gear/Flaps/Brakes positions exported in LUA? The 1.11 export capabilities are great, however the Gear/Brakes/Flaps combo are real useful for pit builders. Also anyone else noticed that Hydraulic Pressure isn't exported be exported on all aircraft (Eagle and A10 export 0's) cheers Peter

Thanks Mishel I'll give it a go Cheers Peter

Feeling kind of stupid here, but is there a way to export just your own Lat/Longs using LUA? I've explored LoGetWorldObjects, this returns an array with lots of info, where if you search for 'me' you'll find your co-ordinates. Whilst I could do the filerting on the program that is receiving the values, my preference is to only send my co-ordinates (I'm not writing an AWAC program, just something to drive a GPS for my aircraft). any ideas? (LoGetroute is nice but doesn't tell me directly where I am) TIA Peter

Mine arrived in Oz last week. Cheers Peter

Yes to both, although it'll be better to send the information to another program using TCP or UDP. Once you have the information you can then drive guages. I'm using the guages from Simkits (http://www.simkits.com). These use servos, nice and simple to use. Cheers Peter

If you haven't been before GO!!!! I've been to the past three shows and enjoyed it everytime. Won't be there this year would have like to have seen the F117 and the B2. Traffic can be messy, so plan on getting to Avalon early and leaving late :) Cheers Peter

I am using F4Glass, but instead of using F4 as the information source, I take lomac information (via LUA), create a shared memory file which looks like the file created by F4, and F4Glass does the rest. I am using the BMS 2.0 memory format, so you need to get the BMS 2.0 patch Erwin put out earlier this year. (http://www.eagle9.nl/redirtest.asp?lokatie=/main/Downloads/default.asp) More than happy to give it to anyone who wants it. Install and source code can be found here http://users.tpg.com.au/adsljvly/setup.zip Unzip the zip file and then run setup. Once you've installed it you'll also find export.lua, this needs to be copied to the machine running lomac. (replacing the existing export.lua). You'll need to modify this line local host = "10.1.1.15" And set the IP address to that of the machine running F4 Glass. To get it all running: 1. start Lomac2F4Glass (on the second computer) 2. Start F4 Lgass (on the second computer) (you don't need the Data Mirror server as my code creates the shared memory file from lomac data. 3. Start Lomac on the second computer. There is a test mode you can use 1. start Lomac2F4Glass (on the second computer) 2. Start F4 Lgass (on the second computer) 3. Click Send Test Data, you should see the guages start moving. Send me a PM if you have any questions. Cheers Peter

As I understand it, this can already be achieved with LUA scripts. If you look on the main site here , it explains how to get a computer (with Lo-Mac) to "listen" to another (with Lo-Mac). Great news of the instructor station! If it is a feature in 1.1, it would be a good idea for the Dev's to advertise this feature on the main site! This one is huge folks!! The bit I was wondering about was also ensuring we see dynamic objects out the three windows, so if I am attempting to toast a tank, and I fly past and look at my left windows on a second computer will I see it? My guess is we need a combination of multi-player and some LUA information... is that what has already been done? (forgive my ignorance.. :)) Cheers Peter

Sort of related - Given the graphics demands are pretty step will there be the ability to link up three computers to provide left-front-right views from the cockpit? I've found the old Matrox Parhelia just doesn't have enough steam - so a couple of xtra PCs with gofast video cards looks to be the go. 1.1 is looking awesome. Cheers Peter
