Can't see any documentation for a hook called onActivePlane

Search results for "hook" - DCS World Wiki - Hoggitworld.com

 

Not sure what you are trying to do, but most hook events have the playerid as the default string.

Example: DCS hook onPlayerTryChangeSlot - DCS World Wiki - Hoggitworld.com

 

local hook = {}
  local playerUnitList = {}
  function hook.onPlayerChangeSlot(playerID) 
       local playerName = net.get_player_info(playerID, 'name')
       local slot = net.get_player_info(playerID, 'slot')
       playerUnitList[playerName] = slot
   end

This isn't a native DCS Api command as far as i can tell, its a JSON API hook for DCS. You are better off asking the github project if it is possible on that page.

If you want to get something on spawn in the DCS native api, you use  event birth
DCS event birth - DCS World Wiki - Hoggitworld.com

Getting this in to the hook environment is not that easy. Never done this, but possible through flags.

it's a fairly new function, see Scripts\Hooks\common.lua in DCS install dir,

didn't test yet if it works (there is a bunch of events/callbacks that seem to not work)

I don't think anything special happens when you press "FLY", it only closes the briefing window. (You can open the briefing window and close it during mission, no event or anything is fired, simulation continues running).

what are you trying to accomplish?
