New data export features in luascripts

[AndyHill]

I'm beginning to build a home cockpit for LoMAC and Il-2 and I was very happy to see the new features in 1.1 beta list. However, I'd really like to get more information out of the game and I wonder if this board is the right place to bring these issues to Eagle Dynamics' attention?

 

Anyway, I'd really like to have weapons data available. Everything needed to control station selections, ripple intervals and perhaps build the Su-25 weapons panel! I could do some seriously cool stuff if I had the weapons station data available.

Bump.. Hello? :idea: Yeah, what he (Andy) said :lol: This would be happy-happy-joy-joy!!!

I'm not very familiar with all planes in LoMAC or the lua interface (my cockpit is now in the pile-of-plywood -phase), but maybe it would be useful to compile a list of features to implement. I'll start with a few, help me out by figuring out more.

 

Information for my instruments:

 

-selected weapon type

-ripple quantity

-ripple interval

-delivery mode (single, pairs etc.)

-number remaining

-hardpoint information (this I haven't though carefully yet, maybe even enough info to build replicas of A-10 / Su-25 instruments)

 

There must be some others I've left out

Bumping this up. How about the russian TWS system? Lua scripts would have to send out the data on which lights are lit and that's all that's needed to make the Russian TWS functional. If hte new Su-25T has the same TWS this would be a really useful feature for me. Not to mention cool.

RWR not TWS.

Don't ask me about the details as I only had a brief look, but apparently you can extract information about both the threat warning system (i.e. radar sources) and the weapons stations (number and type of weapons and which one is selected). Not sure about ripple interval settings, delivery mode etc.

 

But I have a feeling, if it isn't in yet, it will come some day ;)
