FMOoptions.lua ?

Guys,

After the patch, I looked in ...Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\ as the readme says but don't see a FMOoptions.lua. Is it a typo? ....because I do see a FMOptions.lua.

 

in FMOptions.lua, I don't see the entry mentioned in the readme.....HelicopterTrimmerMethod - trimmer implementation option: 1 - original, 2 - new (selected by default).

 

help appreciated.

 

Thanks.

FMOoptions.lua = "oops"

 

FMOptions.lua is correct and contains the lines you ask about.

Thanks. Below is the content of my FMOptions.lua. Do I need to add the line (trimmer implementation option = 2) somewhere?

 

 

----------- for new helicopter trimmer method -----------------------------------------------

----------- (joystick will be disable after trim until it come to neutral zone) -------------

HelicopterTrimmerZonePitch = 0.05;

HelicopterTrimmerZoneRoll = 0.05;

HelicopterTrimmerZoneRudder = 0.1;

 

---------- for old helicopter trimmer method ------------------------------------------------

----------- (aperiodic process) ------------------------------------------------------------

HelicopterTrimmerTauInverse = 7.0; --lower value - decrease trim speed after trim button release.

Why cant you use the GUI and Options to change it? Btw, the new methods is standard with 1.0.1 - so only if you want the old method back, you need to disable the new method through the options screen.

I left the GUI setting alone in which the new standard is default. However, in the readme, it says:

 

"The control deadzone for the new trimmer implementation can be adjusted in the following configuration file:

...Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\FMOoptions.lua

The relevant variables are:

HelicopterTrimmerMethod - trimmer implementation option: 1 - original, 2 - new (selected by default)."

 

but I don't see those variables in the file. So that is my question.....why don't I have the variable in the file that is described in the readme? Is this normal?

 

Thanks.

It could be that when those variables arent defined, it will "default to standard" - when you change the settings using the GUI - it may actually write the new values to the file (sorry, I dont have such files in front of me, Im at work). So it can be perfectly normal, many application use "defaults" in this manner.

Hi Panzertard, I went into options and deslected the new trimmer implementation but the variables were still missing in the FMOptions.lua.

 

Can someone please check their FMOptions.lua file to see if the variable "HelicopterTrimmerMethod" exists? Thanks for your help.

This is the same content I have in mine.

Thanks Panzertard!
