export instrument F16 - LUA

[bravobuller]

hi,

is there a list, with the instruments and what they are called, when using LUA to export them?

instrument, center etc.

I'm not sure if there is a list, but from what I understand from the A10C stuff I had to do recently, you can try and make the devices you want in the following way.

You need to go do DCS (or DCS Openbeta) > Mods > aircraft > (aircraft type, in my case A-10C) > Scripts > (devicename, in this case CMSC) > indicator

The CMSC_init.lua file needs this adding (if it is not already there) for example, making sure you include the callout in the .lua code you will use, in this case "CMSC_SCREEN"

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("A_10C_CMSC_SCREEN", "CMSC_SCREEN")

You can then add code like this to your .lua file (mine are in DCS > Config > MonitorSetup

CMSC_SCREEN =
	{
		x = 3700;
		y = 100;
		width = 199;
		height = 57;
	}

 Obviously the actual numbers you use will depend on the screen setup you have. 

Cheers
