[Speed Brake mod]

No. It seems that the software loads the LUA files when the game starts, and ignores any changes thereafter.

PS:

For your alternate gear command, you don't need the value_down and value_up stements.

This will do:

{down = iCommandPlaneGearUp, up = iCommandPlaneGearDown, name = _('Alt Landing Gear Control Handle 2-Pos UP/DOWN'), category = {_('Special For Joystick'), _('Left Vertical Panel')}},

That's because "iCommandPlaneGearUp" and "iCommandPlaneGearDown" are self-contained commands that don't need any arguments.

Ok, Thanks

[Speed Brake mod]

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

[Slew AGM-65F]

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?

[Speed Brake mod]

Ok, good to know. Thanks

[Speed Brake mod]

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.

[Switch Positions - default.lua]

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

[Speed Brake mod]

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,                                                                                        cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS,    value_down =  0.0,                    name = _('Speed Brake Switch - OFF'),                        category = {_('Throttle Grip'), _('HOTAS')}},

And Skatezillas program does the same thing.

That's what I did.

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.

[Cargo scoring]

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

[Cargo scoring]

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.

[Cargo scoring]

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.

[Missions using l10n folder]

Ok, Thanks

[Missions using l10n folder]

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?

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

[How Hard To Setup Track IR5? Tips/Helps?]

So are you clicking with your mouse or TIR?

[How Hard To Setup Track IR5? Tips/Helps?]

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.
