X: COCKPIT PARAM EQUAL TO where do i find the PARAMeters?

[danagor1129]

Hello,

 

I'm learning how to make missions with the Mission Editor in DCS and I've seen many videos on YT on the matter, one of them mentions this triggers "X: COCKPIT PARAM EQUAL TO" and I am trying to use it, the thing is that for it to work it needs PARAM or parameter which according to the official documentation you need to use the console in order to get a list of the parameters. (Reflected Simulation Video: check from minute 59:00)(Refer to picture attached from EDs documentation)

The console won't open no matter what I do, so my guess is that there's got to be another way to figure out what the parameters for each aircraft are.

I am currently trying to make missions for the F-16C bl.50

Thanks a lot for the help.

Edit: Thanks to Rudel_chw for the information DCS-BIOS is the way to get a list of all the parameters of a plane.

1. Download DCS-BIOS and run it,
2. Once installed check the system tray and you should see the DCS-BIOS icon, left click it and choose "Open web interface",
3. Once the interface is open you have to configure the thing... on the left you'll see a list, go to DCS Connection and you will see a line that says which DCS version you've got (mine is open beta) and to the right of that you will see 3 empty squares (not obvious at first) you have to click all three and they will turn green.
4. Go to the Plugins section (on the left menu under DCS Connection) and there click the "Open the plugin catalog" button, you should see all the planes installed on your game. Install the ones you're going to use and go back to the plugin section. Again you should see all the planes installed.
5. Run DCS and open the Mission Editor, plop a plane somewhere (on a ramp hot would make things easy) and start the mission.
6. Whit that game still running and in the mission going go back to windows and look in the system tray for the DCS-BIOS icon, right click it and select "Enable Lua Console"... we are almost done...
7. Back on the Web Interface from the left menu select "Lua Console" it will show you a Lua environment, and two signs on top, one says "DCS Connection" that becomes green when DCS is running and the other one says "Enabled in Systray" that becomes green when activating the Lua Console in step 6.
8. Write the following line return list_cockpit_params(), then in the dropdown menu select "mission" and lastly hit the execute button... we did it!!!

I got a list of about 500 parameters to play whit lol I hope this helps someone out there.

The Console is available only on the developer’s version of DCS. However, there is a Lua Console as part of the free DCS-BIOS software, where you can get a parameter list.
