Exporting instruments and gauges

[Backsoon]

Hi Guys

I have set up my Viper to multiple monitors and I have my MFD's on my second screen.

I used the monitorsetup.lua

What I need is to set up other instrument - DED, RWR, Fuel Flow, ADI and so on .....

Please help me -I'm blank - could you maybe share your LUA's?

Any help will be appreciated.

Kind regards

You might get an answer here but best is to check the input / output section of the forum:

Could use Helios and the F-16 profile, or Helios and make your own, or just dissect the F-16 profile and reverse engineer to your own needs.

This is actually very easy, as long as it's a valid indicator with the right lua file available.

All you need to do is add 2 lines of code to the bottom of the lua file and it will create a named export.

For example in the Ka-50 I export the EKRAN by editing this indicator file:

D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Ka-50\Cockpit\Scripts\EKRAN\Indicator\Ekran_init.lua

Backup first then add these two lines to the bottom of the lua file:

--Add 2 lines to the end of xxxx_init.lua in the indicator folder & set name I want (replace MY_EKRAN with whatever you want the viewport to be called:
dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("MY_EKRAN")

Then just configure a viewport in your Monitor Config file to position that named viewport.

I recommend putting your edited indicator file into JSGME mod manager, because updates can overwrite these files.

...and editing module LUA files breaks the Integrity Check.
