Universal UFC| Works with all modules | Simple Install

[TrigaNZ]

Hi PF

Still have an issue. I put the new wwt into saved games. SP works with all A/C from what I can see. In MP the first one or two A/C work then it gets stuck on whatever the last A/C was. The last A/C data gets stuck on the UFC even after shutting down DCS.

Also, I see in the 'Events' wwt folder there are two files, wwtExport_Coroutine.lua and wwtExport_NextEvent.lua. These will get removed if copy and pasting the mod wwt folder there, does this matter? or should just the contents of the mod wwt folder be inserted here? Should these be in the mod wwt folder?

DCS log attached.

Thanks so much for your work on this.

Great work guys! Just noticed this, and started to customize it, as I don't much care about info's that are easilly read from the cockpit... HOWEVER F-14 and IAS is a different thing... I managed to get what I want (IAS on scratchpad and flight mode buttons) via modifying ufcPatchGeneral.lua, but I'd like to have dedicated settings for F-14... I'm not much a coder, but a copy/paste-engineer, so I made a guess and added these F-14 lines in ufcPatch.lua between A-10 and Apache:

    ...
 

-- A-10C sends throttled data every 0.2 seconds
    elseif moduleName == "A-10C" then
        if ufcExportClock.canTransmitLatestPayload then
            return ufcPatchA10C2.generateUFCData()
        end
        
    -- F-14A sends throttled data every 0.2 seconds
    elseif moduleName == "F-14A" then
        if ufcExportClock.canTransmitLatestPayload then
            return ufcPatchF14.generateUFCData()
        end

    -- F-14B sends throttled data every 0.2 seconds
    elseif moduleName == "F-14B" then
        if ufcExportClock.canTransmitLatestPayload then
            return ufcPatchF14.generateUFCData()
        end

    -- AH-64D_BLK_II sends information when latest is available

...

And my ufcPatchF14.lua looks like this
 

local ufcUtils = require("ufcPatch\\utilities\\ufcPatchUtils")

ufcPatchF14 = {}

-- Shows static data on the UFC
function ufcPatchF14.generateUFCData()

local MainPanel = GetDevice(0)

    -- local FC3RadarAltitudeString = ufcPatchUtils.GenaricRadarAltitudeFeet()
    -- local HeadingString = ufcPatchUtils.MagHeading()
    local AirspeedString = ufcPatchUtils.AirspeedKnots()
    -- local FuelString = ufcPatchUtils.TotalFuel()
    -- local Vertical = ufcPatchUtils.VerticalV_FPM()
    -- local FlareCount = ufcPatchUtils.flares()
    -- local ChaffCount = ufcPatchUtils.chaff()
    
    --Send info to UFC components

    log.write("WWT", log.INFO, "Trying to load custom example")
    return ufcUtils.buildSimAppProUFCPayload({
        option1="T.O.",
        option2="CRUI",
        option3="A/A",
        option4="A/G",
        option5="LNDG",
        scratchPadNumbers="AirspeedString",
        scratchPadString1="O",
        scratchPadString2="N",
        com1="X",
        com2="8",
        selectedWindows={"1", "2", "3", "4", "5"}
    })
end

return ufcPatchF14

Tried also using "F-14AB" as moduleName as some programs see it, but had no success... I guess the problem is that I have wrong modulename? Or something else? dcs.log looks promising however?

But sadly the screens stay black

This is a guess but DCS-BIOS suggests the names for the modules might be "F-14B", "F-14A-135-GR" so try that for the A

[HanuXXL]

Yes, those names mentioned seem to be correct ones, thanks. Also I just found one missing line in ufcPatch.lua that had to be defined. Now it works in F-14 with dedicated lua definitions.

This thing really helps to ulilize F-18 UFC better!
