Cockpit state at mission start

[Neurowork]

Hey guys,

 

I'm building an air start mission where I want certain settings to be set at mission start, like the Maverick EO power. Is the a way to set what is turned on / off at mission start ?

 

Thanks

 

Cheers :joystick:

There is a 'Prepare mission' option under the Flight tab, you setup all the systems there and then save the mission. Upon reloading it it will load the saved aircraft configuration.

 

There is a section in the manual where it is explained in more depth of you want to know more.

That doesn't seem to work, or perhaps it's restricted to a few modules.

 

I tried with the M-2000C and the Mig-21bis, and it does add info to the mission file, but unfortunately nothing to set up the avionics or other cockpit settings. It would be great to have such a feature instead of setting them by script, the default configuration rarely fits the requirements, that's why I usually prefer cold starts ;)

setting them by script

 

How can we set cockpit instruments by Lua script anyway?

Yes, that's annoying we can't. We have to use the GUI scripting instead (trigger condition values, and actions). I was designing a tutorial for the MiG-21, and setting/inspecting all those parameters with the GUI triggers and setting them up for each case was really tedious, it could have benefited a lot from Lua.
