Manually set ARK frequencies

[tsb47]

Hi all,

 

Could anyone tell me how to manually set the Mig 21's ARC frequencies?

 

I've read this has to be done in a lua file somewhere. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2188083&postcount=3. If so, where is the .lua file and how does one edit it to set the custom ARC frequencies?

 

The Leatherneck manual seems to contemplate players using unassigned frequencies (pg 104). But they don't say what those frequencies are (eg, in megahertz) or how to modify them or how to use them.

 

I'm planning on using the frequencies to transmit radio station broadcasts (eg, historic russian radio archive files) in mission to increase immersiveness - to be received through the ARC set into comms mode.

 

Thanks in advance,

The ARK freq's are in R_NAV_data.lua, located here:

 

...\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Cockpit\Systems\R_NAV_data.lua

 

Looks to be hardcoded in blocks of 10 channels. I'd err away from changing existing ones, but it looks as if changing the unused ones should be fine (providing it's not ch 10)

Great - thank you! I plan on changing only the free ones.

 

Another question: Any way of changing these in-game eg, through the use of a lua script? If so, how would one do that?

 

The reason I ask is that I want to create a mission that other people can play that allows them to tune into a ground based radio station using ARK set to comms mode. And I don't really want to ask users to replace/fiddle with their own lua files.

 

../.

 

Thanks in advance!

It's been done for radio presets. I'll see if I can recycle the code for the ARK.

 

EDIT: Doesn't look like it's going to happen. The Entry files for the MiG-21 (which allow you to make ME changes) are both binary, not Lua. Besides, the inputs for the RSBN/ARK require Lat/Long in addition to frequency, so it's much more than tuning in an ADF on a squad of soldiers broadcasting on a frequency.
