Kiowa cockpit param.

[JohnMclane]

Trying to set a flag based on tuned freq on radio 5 on the Kiowa... Is the name of the param in this image, if not, where do I get this info?

Look for the radio ID in the arg_int.lua file inside your "DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit" folder.

I believe it is the RMFD_R5_Button = 82 argument.

On how to use it, you can refer to the Cockpit Triggers Guide on the DCS Manual. It shows how you use them, the arguments you have to add to make it work.

Thank you! Actually better for me to know where to look than the actual answer.

Turns out the RMFD_R5_button doesn't refer to the radio. There's also no mention of the Remote Frequency Display in there... If anyone has an idea, thought it'd be easy to make a trigger based on what frequency a radio is tuned in, not so much...lol

If I'm understanding it right, you want to set a trigger once a certain frequency is set on the Radio Frequency Display. There is a Condition for it in the mission editor called X: COCKPIT INDICATION TEXT IS EQUAL TO. However, as stated on the page 166 of the manual, this particular function 'requires console'. Said 'console' is only available to developers, so they can trigger cockpit or model arguments based on text displayed on the various display of an aircraft. But it does not stop you from trying.

Following the instructions laid out in the manual, in the  \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit folder there is a file called device_init.lua. By the manual instructions, the RFD on line 91 should be indicator ID '8'. So, by using this condition, maybe you will be able to trigger the condition you want.

The hard part is to find the string correspondent to the R5 frequency. 

Maybe DCS-BIOS can help you with that.
