Fuel cabin parameter

Ala12Rv-Birdman · January 29, 2020

Hi.

Does anybody know what is the cabin parameter for checking the fuel state in the mission editor?

I want to launch a trigger when fuel qty reaches 6000 pounds during AAR...

I'm not sure if it is possible right now.

Thanks..

It is possible, but the parameter name is different for each plane, for example, these are for the JF-17:

EFM_INT_FUEL

EFM_FUEL_LEFT

EFM_TANK2

EFM_TANK3

EFM_TANKR

EFM_EXT_TANKL

EFM_EXT_TANKR

EFM_EXT_TANKC

Thanks you two..

Rudel, do you know the parameter for the Hornet?

Thank U so much

Hi,

I did a short test, and these are the Parameters that show up on Console ... but none seem to be Fuel related:

The number after the colon is the current value that I had on the test F-18 at the moment of the query. I got these using the LUA-Console of the DCS-BIOS utility.

I dont know the meaning of each parameter, the JF-17 is the first aircraft where I've actually tried to use this type of trigger, and for most I've had to guess and then test to verify what each means.

Best regards,

Eduardo

If you don't find the cockpit argument, you can script it instead (required fields marked in red):

local Plane = "[color="Red"]Unit name in ME[/color]"
local Tanker = "[color="red"]Tanker name in ME[/color]"

Six_K_trigger = 0

local function Scheduler()
     
     if Unit.getByName(Plane) and Unit.getByName(Tanker) then
        
        local DCS_Unit = Unit.getByName(Plane)
        local DCS_Tanker = Unit.getByName(Tanker)

        local Unit_Vec3 = DCS_Unit:getPoint()
        local Tanker_Vec3 = DCS_Tanker:getPoint()
        local Distance2D = math.floor( ( ( Unit_Vec3.x - Tanker_Vec3.x ) ^ 2 + ( Unit_Vec3.z - Tanker_Vec3.z ) ^ 2 ) ^ 0.5, 0 )
        
        local Aircraft_Max_Internal_Fuel = DCS_Unit:getDesc().fuelMassMax
        local Fuel_Multiplier = DCS_Unit:getFuel()
        
        local Fuel_Kg = math.floor( Aircraft_Max_Internal_Fuel * Fuel_Multiplier, 0 )
        local Fuel_Lbs = math.floor( Fuel_Kg * 2.2046 , 0 )
         
        if Distance2D < 300 and Fuel_Lbs >= 6000 and Six_K_trigger ~= 1 then
           
           [color="Blue"]-- Do stuff when fuel quantity reaches 6000 or higher[/color]
           
           Six_K_trigger = 1
        end
     end
     
     if Six_K_trigger ~= 1 then 
        return timer.getTime() + 3 
     end
end

timer.scheduleFunction(Scheduler, nil , timer.getTime() + 1)

Might need some tweaking, but this is the idea.
