frumpy Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Hi guys, this is a bit of a noob question, I am new to DCS. Usually I fly X-Plane or FSX, for both sims there is a software called Air Manager. AM puts together bitmaps and moves them according to the output it receives from the flightsim. The gauges are fully programable. The software can run on the same computer or networked. Even my old laptop can do a 60 fps with a full suite of instruments in networked mode. I want to ask the developer of AM if he wants to write a plugin for DCS. But I need some info first on what steps need to be taken. So as far as I understand, there is the export.lua file - but does it include all the relevant data? What if (lets say) I would want to recreate the L-39 panel, are data like bank, AOA, and HSI deviation included in the file? How does that work? Thank you! AM examples:
RightStuff Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 How to export/import aircraft data for external instruments? AFAIK you have to expand the export.lua by your own to support other modules. This buddy has - beside the IMO best external Helios-Profiles - an expanded export.lua for download. Maybe it will help you for AM or give you at least an idea how and what can be done: http://www.captzeen.com/helios/downloads.asp
