noisy_lightning Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Hello all, not sure where this belongs so posting in here as its the best place I can tell at the moment. I am running a VPC LED Tool on my machine, which grabs certain exported arguments and allows me to set triggers and LED states based on certain events in cockpit. For example, A/S turns my stick LED green/red depending on safe/armed, I have also programmed my Master Caution reset button to flash when its triggered and then return to green when reset. The way VPC LED works is that there it has the standard telemetry available for every DCS module, that it looks for. Then a second module dependant LUA file for each aircraft specific data. In this case the AH64 has Master Caution as I mentioned above, but not Master Warning. There are a few others missing which I would like as well like Tail Wheel lock. How/Where do I find the list of all exported cockpit arguments for the AH64 please, so I can add them to the LUA to programme the LEDS from Thanks Edited April 4, 2022 by noisy_lightning Link For VPC Tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas_Ch Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) I am interested for this for the exact same reason! I am trying to find this at the moment... I have found in the DCS manual manual under the section "Cockpit Triggers Guide" that these arguments can be found in the directory: X:\Game Directory\Scripts\Aircrafts I cannot find something there though. I hope we find the directory/files... EDIT After some more digging, i think I found the lua containing the main panel lamps arguments: X:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Scripts\MainPanel\lamps.lua The clickable items arguments are found: X:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Scripts\clickabledata.lua Edited April 4, 2022 by Costas_Ch Possible files are found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Bunny Clark Posted April 5, 2022 Solution Share Posted April 5, 2022 The ultimate way to view this is with the model viewer. Open the cockpit model and there will be a list of arguments that you can manipulate and see their effect. But the lamps.lua file will tell you basically everything you want. The one's I have found and verified for my Helios project so far are: Pilot Master Caution: 425 Pilot Master Warn: 424 CPG Master Caution: 808 CPG Master Warn: 806 Pilot ARM: 413 Pilot SAFE: 414 Pilot Ground Override: 415 CPG ARM: 438 CPG SAFE: 439 CPG Ground Override: 440 Pilot Tailwheel Unlock: 402 CPG Tailwheel Unlock: 426 1 Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

On top of that, there are some that are not included. For example I wanted to map the afterburner activation... Has anybody a live argument monitoring solution? VLED by a virpil product user, has been developed but has some conflicts with other 3rd party software such as SRS, Stream deck etc so I cannot use it. A live argument tracker is the best ever solution to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
