Hi Akiazusa, Here I am, I've done what suggested and it, more or less, works. Generally speaking the "dedicated" ARK.lua to be put into .miz woks but with the following. 1) Despite using Russian names in the ARK.lua file (in the plate I would like to see Russian names), the names are translate in English. I understand that this is due to the me setting the cockpit in English in the "special" setup, but it would be good to have this "exception" to the setup and keep original Russian names. I'm also thinking to change the cockpit setup to default, but I need a bit more time to learn and know the cockpit to be able to use it even with Russian text. 2) The callsign labels are out of scale due to character font failure and, either they are not shown, or are too big and with a different font from the channel name (AFD name/location). Regarding point (1) I was thinking to comment (clear) line 4 of the ARK_MAIN_page.lua, but I would like to have your advice/suggestion on this point. (Fixed reverting avionics to "Native"... I forgot to check this feature.) Regarding point (2) I don't know really what to do: I have difficulties to identify the proper lines into the ARK_MAIN_page.lua; more, in the file ARK_usefull_definitions.lua there are info on fonts and dimensions. But I don't want to touch to those if not sure (or more sure, or less blind...) of what I'm doing. In ant case, thank you again for your support. For the moment I don't mark as solution, just in case we can fix these points.

Grate job Akiazusa! I don't mind loosing automatic update: in any case is quite poor and for sure it will not work for FARPs. I will follow your instructions and see. Another point is, shal I create the following folders to put the ARK.lua file into the .miz? Mods\aircrafts\Ka-50_3\Cockpit\Scripts\ARK\ARK.lua I've done it for kneeboards only (kneeboard\images\image.png), so I really don't know how to add the file into the miz. For a week or so I'll not be able to work on it because I'm out for my job and I'll not have access to my "DCS PC". As soon As I'm back I'll do it and let you know. Thank you for your help.

Kneeboard?... Indeed! That's what I do actually, but I would like to have the plate working as I said; mainly for stuff not present in the beacon.lua file or eaven in the map, like FARPs with mobile NDBs. In reference to what you said, I've done the following: on Caucasus I have my home in Sochi-Adler airport. I then changed the ARK-22 frequency of channel 1 (both inner and outer) to 761KHz. Starting the mission the plate, on channel 1 is blank! I then noticed that the ARK.lua file (the one in Cockpit/Scripts) have not changed, keeping date and time of the first Ka-50 installation. I then changed the first line of the NDB channels of the ARK.lua (line 27) to match the corresponding one in the beacons.lua of Caucasus (airfield18_0), bur still nothing! I'm doing something wrong but can't understand what! This sounds like a challange for the community to help me .

Here is my problem/request of help: I'm now working since a wile to missions with the Ka-50 (I love it!). I usually adapt the different ADF channels according to the needs in the preset frequency channels in the ARK-22 section of the chopper. I usually pay no attention to the fact that my ADF channel plate in the cockpit is blank... but now. If you are working on a mission in the Persian Gulf or in Syria, completely blank! What I would like to do is to populate the plate with names and channels according to the presets I choose. More, considering that I make often use of FARPs, I would like to add the name of the FARP together with che ADF/NDB channel/freq defined in the mobile beacon used (and added in the ARK-22 of the helo), or adding the information above for AFB present in the map but with no NDB (using as before the mobile one). questions: 1) Is this possible? 2) if yes, can someone give me an example of lua scripting? (not so expert to find out by myself ). I have to say that I failed trying to modify the default ARK.lua file adding a section for the Syria map (the default contains Caucasus and Nevada) and referring to the Syrian beacons.lua file... Thank you
