Anyone working on a Helios profile?

[Lawlcat]

As the title says, wondering if anyone is working on a Helios profile for the MiG-21. I'd try to make one myself but I'm not competent or artistic enough to make a decent one. Unfortunately for me the Fishbed is something I have to look down often in, to see instruments, and its starting to make my neck hurt with trackIR :)

Bit late but just worked out some bits, using the FC2 interface for helios and just exporting to that in the export.lua.

what ive got so far.. though some of the numbers are a bit out at the moment, lots of trial and error. Hopefully some of the great lua peeps can do much better.

 

function ProcessMig21Exports()

MainPanel = GetDevice(0)

--IAS

local ias = MainPanel:get_argument_value(100)

local airspeed_normalized = MainPanel:get_argument_value(100)

local airspeed = (airspeed_normalized * 1000) * 0.561

--eng rpm

local engRpm = MainPanel:get_argument_value(50)

local engOut = engRpm * 100

--pitch

local pitch = MainPanel:get_argument_value(109)

pitch = pitch * 1.5

--bank

local bank = MainPanel:get_argument_value(108)

bank = bank * 3.4

--vvi

local vvi = MainPanel:get_argument_value(106)

vvi = (vvi * 20) * 2

--aoa aka uua

local aoa = MainPanel:get_argument_value(105)

aoa = aoa * 0.75

-- baro alt

local altBar = MainPanel:get_argument_value(112)

altBar = (altBar * 10000) * 3

--radio Altimeter

local altRad = MainPanel:get_argument_value(103)

altRad = (altRad * 1000) / 2.5

--hsi aka ksi course indicator

local hsi = MainPanel:get_argument_value(111)

hsi = (math.pi * 2.0) * hsi

hsi = hsi * -1

--log_file:write(hsi)

--log_file:write("\n")

 

SendData("9", string.format("%.2f", engOut) )

SendData("14", string.format("%.2f", airspeed ) )

SendData("1", string.format("%.2f", pitch * 57.3) )

SendData("2", string.format("%.2f", bank * 57.3) )

SendData("16", string.format("%.2f", aoa * 57.3 ) )

SendData("13", string.format("%.2f", vvi) )

SendData("4", string.format("%.2f", altBar) )

SendData("5", string.format("%.2f", altRad) )

SendData("8", string.format("%.2f", (hsi * 57.3)) )

 

FlushData()
