HarSu

Hi Peter. - And thanks for info. OK, so that was not good news to me. :cry: The panel below is not enough space for easy installation, so then they have to do the hard way. I'm not going to invest $ 6000 on those switches. HarSu.

Hi there. Question about SAS panel, and the more thoroughly the magnetic switches operating principles. Are these switches acting individually or whether they are working so that if a problem occurs with hydraulic or electrical side, all the switches are switched off? Are they individually? Or will they work in pairs? Or is it so that all the switches are switched off at the same time? I hope you understand what I mean ... My intention is to make my own version of the "magnetic switch" with small solenoids, but if each of those switches work individually, I am running out of space. HarSu.

Hi. :thumbup: Thanks cefs, you are my HERO!! :clap_2: Now everything works as it should, and the Helios Also still runs like it should, and everything works in sync. So I'm really happy with your advice cefs. Reputation may send to you, I just do not know how to, yet.. Boltz There is no problem at all, but maybe at some point I have to ask for advice with Arduino Boards from you. And you're right, For the battery switch command should be started by C1 NOT C0. I know that, but I seem to have accidentally entered (in the middle of the night, no actually in the morning) command C0. Sorry about that. So here is Export.lua file. Which is able to receive and send data to the DCS even if you are also using Helios. Only one line must be changed (line 52) and the 1 line to add (line 183). gHost = "127.0.0.1" gPort = 9089 gExportInterval = 0.067 gExportLowTickInterval = 1 gEveryFrameArguments = {[540]="%0.1f",

OK, reformulate the question again, because it was apparently unclear to you. But let's go back in time a little bit at first 1. Did you remember that I said that I am a noob with Lua programming? 2. Then you (Ian) wanted to provide a DCS BIOS (yours) program to me ... And you were curious about what I do with my VB.Net application. 3. And my answer to that was that ... 4. Then, let's get to the DCS BIOS. I told you that my intention is to use it, so WHY should I have to be Effective programmer ??? I'll just try this lua thing for fun. Borrowed from a website page of the DCS-BIOS: Is your attitude (Ian) similar with DCS-BIOS program? If someone jerk like I will ask something similar? After all, it is of course easy to criticize other people's stupid questions (if you actually know everything about everything), but in my opinion there is no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Especially when the Honourable Member has really limited information or no information at all of Lua programming or from something which there is no practical experience. 5. Let's go to the question ... Why are you even bothering to answer my stupid questions?

I think it is very much DCS related question. What do you think if I ask help from stackoverflow.com guys that "How can I send switch state value from DCS to my TCP listener only if state is changed?" What is the answer??. Do they even know what DCS is. But maybe I should go to stackoverflow.com cause I might found the answer from there... From here apparently I don´t get it.. But Thanks Any Way.!

Hi. Ok, the code works... But the issue with the "LuaExportActivityNextEvent" function is that it keeps sending me that data all the time. How can I make this work the way It sends data to listener ONLY if the switch state is changed. Thanks. By the way, I did not fix the code on post#3. Instead I added the code how it should be. If somebody like me is learning these things. :smilewink: HarSu.

Hi Ian. I also noticed those errors in that code , but only after I had already posted it here. I just do not bother to edit it , because the writing and viewing this small phone screen is quite difficult. I intend to try DCS-BIOS but I have not received my Arduino boards yet... So for the moment I'll just play for fun and to learn to do something with lua files. HarSu.

Ok, thanks Ian. So is this the code for sending that switch state to my listener? function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t) local tNext = t local batSwitchState = GetDevice(0):get_argument_value(246) Socket.try(connection:send(string.format( "batSwitchState = %.1f"\n ,batSwitchState))) end tNext = tNext + 1 return tNext end I can not get to try this because I'm at work the moment.. Edit: This is the code, how it should to be... function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t) local tNext = t local batSwitchState = GetDevice(0):get_argument_value(246) socket.try(connection:send(string.format("batSwitchState = %.1f\n" ,batSwitchState))) tNext = tNext + 1 return tNext end

Hello to everyone. I'm trying to solve how can I receive SWITCH STATE (If it is ON or OFF state) data through the Export.lua to my VB.Net Listener program. I have read many (I think everything, depending of this Switch State stuff with .Lua) post on ED Forums, but not managed any of those codes to work with DCS 1.2.7.23803. ((Too many information , and some out of date, and I´m noob with lua)) So here is my code to from Export.lua to TCP/UDP listener. For connection, disconnection and some radar altitude, pitch and bank info. And everything works as it should. :thumbup: function LuaExportStart() package.path = package.path .. ";.\\LuaSocket\\?.lua" package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";.\\LuaSocket\\?.dll" socket = require("socket") host = "127.0.0.1" port = 9800 connection = socket.try(socket.connect(host, port)) connection:setoption("tcp-nodelay", true) socket.try(connection:send("Yhteys löydetty... DCS A-10C.")) end function LuaExportAfterNextFrame() local tNext = t local o = LoGetWorldObjects() for k,v in pairs(o) do local Aika = LoGetModelTime() local Nimi = LoGetPilotName() local altBar = LoGetAltitudeAboveSeaLevel() local altRad = LoGetAltitudeAboveGroundLevel() local pitch, bank, yaw = LoGetADIPitchBankYaw() socket.try(connection:send(string.format("Aika = %.2f, Nimi = %s, KorkeusBaro = %.2f, TutkaKorkeus = %.2f, pitch = %.2f, bank = %.2f, yaw = %.2f\n", Aika, Nimi, altRad, altBar, pitch, bank, yaw))) end tNext = tNext + 1.0 return tNext end function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t) end function LuaExportStop() if connection then socket.try(connection:send("Yhteys Katkaistu...")) connection:close() end end But.. How to recognise one little switch move from OFF to ON? So if here is anyone who can tell me how I can RECEIVE information... For example. Battery Power Switch State... ON to send my listener "1" and if it is OFF then send "0" to my listener program.? If somebody can direct me from right track with some code example I would be grateful... Sorry for my English, and some Finnish words on the code... :cry: Thanks... HarSu.

Holy shit... One of my kids did play the game, and she "accidentally" updated it. :cry: So all my viewports have gone... SIOC is gone.... Damn Damn Damn.:pain: Any ideas of how to get viewports back, because those are most important thing at the moment. :helpsmilie: HarSu. I solved this by about half year old backup file... Hell yeah, everything works again.

Actually the "Long" stick is very accurate with banking left and right, but in pitching down I can´t take it so much forward as I want cause the stick hits on my monitor, but that is temporary issue... And you can always fly upside down....:pilotfly:

Hello everybody... :bye_2: Back again... :thumbup: It´s almost winter here in Finland, so It´s good time to get back into the cockpit building. So, for the last update that I made, nothing has really not happened, just that I put those stickers from "Deadman" in my pit´s hull... (nice looking stuff) I tried to fit the canopy frame to my Pit, but that does not seems to fit configuration with 42" TV....So I throw it away. For now. And also I spend a few hours of flying with HOG.. about 600 hours....:book: So, here the building starts again.....:joystick: HarSu.

Hi. I know this is wrong thread for my issue but, I'm gonna ask still...:poster_offtopic: I have fresh install of DCSW 1.2.7 + DCS A10C and HELIOS ver.1.3.190.448 also I use Windows 8.1 64bit. Anyways... If I use HELIOS during my flight, and try to view my "track" after that. My plane does not flight anything like it should... :( Like,if I shot missile in "real flight", it shows that I never shot anything in "track view".:cry: Without HELIOS track view works OK. Does anybody have same issue???:helpsmilie: And a another issue with the "Frame rate counter" The default buttons for Frame rate counter is (RCtrl + Pause), but nothing happens those. I can't see frame rate counter "window". Actually only working buttons under "controls / A-10C Sim / General" are Pause = Pause Esc = End Mission LCtrl + Z = Time Accelerate LAlt + Z = Time Decelerate LShift + Z = Time Normal Is there some setting somewhere where I can set "ON" the other functions.:helpsmilie:

Thanks John, I would like to see your facetrack settings.
