Rudel_chw Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 It can be done, but it isnt simple to explain.. I once did a Mission to practice flight emergencies, where I used a two level F10 menu, this was the top level where I grouped the emergencies by type: For example if you selected Electrical failures, then the menu was rebuilt with these options: Download the mission to take a look at how the triggers work, even if you dont own this plane you can still see it on the editor: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307050/ For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check it out thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Thank you, I tried to pick out from other mission but there were way too many triggers to decipher what one was the one I needed. I'll check it out thanks! It is unfortunate that the DCS triggers have no facilities for commenting the code, it can make for hard to read code. These are some design notes that I did for this mission, not much but may be helpful: Flag 11: Show Main Menu Flag 21: Clear Main Menu 1 Electrical: Flag 2=1 Show Menu; Flag 22: Clear menu 11 Generator Failure 12 Starter Failure 13 Batteries Failure 14 Inverters Failure (Both) 15 Normal Inverter Failure 16 Standby Inverter Failure 2 Engine: Flag 2=2 Show Menu; Flag 23: Clear menu 21 Engine Flameout w/o Relight 22 Engine Flameout with Relight 23 Engine Seized 24 Engine anti-ice Failure 25 Engine Computer Fail (manual mode) 26 Failure of Auto & Manual Modes (back-up mode) 3 Systems: Flag 2=3 Show Menu; Flag 24: Clear menu 31 Oil Pressure Drop 32 Chip in Oil 33 Fuel Leak 34 Hydraulic Leak 4 Flight Control: Flag 2=4 Show Menu; Flag 25: Clear Menu 41 Elevator Loss 42 Aileron Loss 43 Rudder Loss 44 Pitch Trim Runaway - Nose Up 45 Pitch Trim Runaway - Nose Down 46 Control Stick pitch trim switch 47 Control Stick aileron trim switch 48 Rudder trim failure 49 Airbrake autotrim cutout malfunction 5 Landing Gear/Flaps: Flag 2=5 Show menu Flag 26: Clear menu 51 Left Gear extension Fault 52 Right Gear extension Fault 53 Nose Gear extension Fault 54 Left Gear retraction Fault 55 Right Gear retraction Fault 56 Nose Gear retraction Fault 57 Flaps fault 6 Instruments: 61 Pitot tube blocked 62 Static Port blocked 63 ILS receiver GS signal fail 64 ILS receiver LOC signal fail 65 VOR receiver nav signal fail 66 DME signal fail 67 ADF receiver indication fail 68 Radio altimeter signal fail 69 Gunsight lamps failure 7 Other: 71 Explosive depressurization :thumbup: For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 For functional sub-menus you have to use scripts. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_addSubMenu And then create the menu items or more sub menues. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_addCommand The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

snowsniper Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 you should give a try to ATME encapsulated script engine, really easy to do menu and submenu. i7-10700KF CPU 3.80GHz - 32 GO Ram - - nVidia RTX 2070 - SSD Samsung EVO with LG TV screen 40" in 3840x2150 - cockpit scale 1:1 - MS FFB2 Joystick - COUGAR F16 throttle - Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
