Ok, Thanks

Is there any way to make changes to the lua file and see the results without shutting down and restarting DCS?

I would like to assign the TDC to axis but, the mouse is the only option I have for this, everything else is grayed out. What do I need to do to correct this?

Ok, good to know. Thanks

Thank you for your help. What I am trying to do is duplicate what ED's code does but, have the ability for the game to 'Remember' the switch position. Example: { down = iCommandPlaneGearUp, up = iCommandPlaneGearDown, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Alt Landing Gear Control Handle 2-Pos UP/DOWN'), category = {_('Special For Joystick'), _('Left Vertical Panel')}}, This code knows where my switch position is at all times. If I understand you correctly, with this code that you use, allows you to 'Extend/Retract' with only one line of code. And with your example it can only be fully Extended or Retracted, nothing in between. Again thanks for your help.

I am in need of some assistance with my joystick default.lua file. I am trying to modify the speed brake function like I did for the landing gear. The problem is that no matter what I do at best I can only see one action in the control panel but, usually none. Ed's is there and working but not mine. At first I thought it was because of a naming conflict, 'Alt Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND', 'Alt Speed Brake Switch - RETRACT' but, Ed's is nearly identical, 'Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND', 'Speed Brake Switch - RETRACT' and it still works. I am still new at LUA so, it may be something simple. Hopefully someone will spot my error. Maybe someone can tell me how to insert code correctly. Since I don't know how to insert code, I will list my examples below. -- ED's approach { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND'), category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}}, { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Speed Brake Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}}, { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Speed Brake Switch - RETRACT'), category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}}, -- My first { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Alt Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND/ON'), category = {_('Special For Joystick'), _('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}}, { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Alt Speed Brake Switch - RETRACT/OFF'), category = {_('Special For Joystick'), _('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}}, -- My current { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Alt Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND'), category = {_('Special For Joystick'), _('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}}, { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Alt Speed Brake Switch - RETRACT'), category = {_('Special For Joystick'), _('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}},

No main screen says 2.5.0

And Skatezillas program does the same thing.

That's what I did.

But I want to go to 2.5.1, how do I do that?

Esac, When I ran the updater as you mentioned I get DCS_Updater 2.6.25.40 and then 2.5.0.15365.345 is up to date.

Hey PhaseShift, Did you ever resolve this issue? I am having the same problem.

Yes I did and I downloaded your files but, have yet to try them.

Update: I finally figured it out. From the editor, go to Mission Goals and create a goal for each piece of cargo with a score value, and set a condition to Unhook in a zone. Select the aircraft, and select the 2nd icon, I think it is Triggers and define a rule for each piece of cargo and a pickup zone. This will create smoke at the delivery zone. Upon completion of delivery you will get a score.

I just realized that I posted this to the wrong forum, sorry. Ok, I have created a few mods for Mi-8 and the Huey to transport cargo. Besides the rope breaking about 85% of the time, it works. My problem is with trying to get a score. I don't know if it is even possible. I have created trigger zones, trigger rules, setting flags and mission goals all to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, Thanks

I have downloaded missions in .zip format that do not have a .miz file. Instead they have a l10n folder and 3 files called mission, options and warehouses. They have no instructions. Where do I put these or how do I handle them?

How detailed is the cockpit? Do we have full control of all buttons and switches?

Longbow or Littlebird gunship

I see the + but I thought from watching videos that the users were somehow clicking through TIR.

So are you clicking with your mouse or TIR?

I just bought a Trackir myself and I was wondering what do I do to be able to flip switches and press buttons in the cockpit. I have seen the videos on Youtube where you can see a small + and users click on items. How do I set this up.
