Load multiple Export.Lua?

[Wrench]

Hey guys. I have an interesting problem.

I'm using ergn's DCCSTAD

as well as this A-10C DCU

Because I fly both the F-15C and the A-10C.

The problem is, if I put both the CDU and DCSTAD stuff in one Export.lua, It breaks DCSTAD.

 

Is there a way I can have 2 different lua's, each called when I load one aircraft?

If both Export.lua files are written in a way that plays nice with others (i.e. check for previous callback functions, save them in a variable, and call them from your own callback functions instead of simply redefining the callback function), this should work.

 

The Export.lua file from DCSTAD looks like it does this, so I assume that the A-10C CDU thing does not play nice (I couldn't locate its Export.lua file to check since I don't speak whatever language that site is written in and Google Translate was no help either).

 

Try putting the Export.lua code for the A-10C CDU first and the DCSTAD code after that. That way, the A-10C CDU does not overwrite any existing callbacks and the DCSTAD code will notice and remember the A-10C CDU callbacks and make sure they get called.

 

In other words, you can have a single Export.lua file that does not play nice as long as it gets to go first.

Okay I didn't try the CDS first, I had it the other way around.

I attached the CDU Export.lua for your evaluation. Should probably have done that in the first, but it's hard to find.

As I suspected, the A-10C CDU's Export.lua file does not respect previously installed callback functions. If you can, report this as a bug to the author.

Hazaa! Putting the CDU first made everything hunky dory. Thanks for the tip Ian.
