dutchie_031 Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Hi guys, I don't know where to post this question, but I'll just start here I'm trying to export info from LoGetTWSInfo() export function yet it keeps being Nill. LoIsSensorExportAllowed() // returns true in my case (it's single player anyways) There is other functions that get Sensory data that work. So I'm curious why this one isn't. I've been testing with the F-16. Anyone got some pointers? Edited February 25, 2022 by dutchie_031
joeafman Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 I'm also in the exact same boat... I wonder if this function has been deprecated. OP, have you learned anything yet?
dutchie_031 Posted August 30, 2022 Author Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Hi Joe! Learned nothing yet! Have you got it to work with any other modules? Or is it a not only the F-16 that's failing? Sadly... Edited August 30, 2022 by dutchie_031
fbfan64 Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 I'm trying it on the F/A-18C and getting the same result (returns nil). Anyone get any new info on this? My Simpit Project
fbfan64 Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 When I make a call to LoGetF15_TWS_Contacts() it doesn't return nil, but since I don't know the structure of the return, I can't figure out the data. If I try to access the same elements from LoGetTWSInfo() they are nil. (.mode and .emitters). My Simpit Project
fbfan64 Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 I ran some further tests (all using the F/A-18C module). LoGetTWSInfo, LoGetSightingSystemInfo and LoGetTargetInformation all return nil. LoGetF15_TWS_Contacts returns an empty table. I confirmed that sensor export is enabled/1 (which should be the case anyway because I'm doing all this in single player mode). I have a hard time believing all these functions are obsoleted so I must be doing something wrong. I'm checking it while flying the Caucuses instant action mission Battlefield and there are emitters (both friendly and hostile) displayed on the Azimuth indicator. My Simpit Project
fbfan64 Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 I installed the DCS BIOS LUA console and came up with the same results. I tested with the SU25 and got the expected emitter table. This leads me to believe the F-18 simply doesn't support this call (at this time). Too bad. My Simpit Project
okopanja Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 These functions were meant for FC3, FF provided devices. The trouble is: devices often do not provide the needed information.
