Ka-50 III - ADF Plate channels and names

[Foxtrot1960]

Here is my problem/request of help:

I'm now working since  a wile to missions with the Ka-50 (I love it!). I usually adapt the different ADF channels according to the needs in the preset frequency channels in the ARK-22 section of the chopper.

I usually pay no attention to the fact that my ADF channel plate in the cockpit is blank... but now.

If you are working on a mission in the Persian Gulf or in Syria, completely blank!

What I would like to do is to populate the plate with names and channels according to the presets I choose. More, considering that I make often use of FARPs, I would like to add the name of the FARP together with che ADF/NDB channel/freq defined in the mobile beacon used (and added in the ARK-22 of the helo), or adding the information above for AFB present in the map but with no NDB (using as before the mobile one).

questions:

1) Is this possible? 

2) if yes, can someone give me an example of lua scripting? (not so expert to find out by myself ).

I have to say that I failed trying to modify the default ARK.lua file adding a section for the Syria map (the default contains Caucasus and Nevada) and referring to the Syrian beacons.lua file...

Thank you

On Caucasus and Nevada map looks like if that as long as the NDB is in Beacon.lua,all u have to do is to change the ARK settings in ME to match the frequency in Beacon.lua and the plate will be automatic updated to match their names and callsigns.     

I tried messing with ark.lua to make it works the same way for Syria but sadly no luck either...............I will try more tomorrow........................

maybe using a kneeboard is easier.

Kneeboard?... Indeed! That's what I do actually, but I would like to have the plate working as I said; mainly for stuff not present in the beacon.lua file or eaven in the map, like FARPs with mobile NDBs.

In reference to what you said, I've done the following: on Caucasus I have my home in Sochi-Adler airport. I then changed the ARK-22 frequency of channel 1 (both inner and outer) to 761KHz. Starting the mission the plate, on channel 1 is blank!

I then noticed that the ARK.lua file (the one in Cockpit/Scripts) have not changed, keeping date and time of the first Ka-50 installation. I then changed the first line of the NDB channels of the ARK.lua (line 27) to match the corresponding one in the beacons.lua of Caucasus (airfield18_0), bur still nothing!

I'm doing something wrong but can't understand what!

This sounds like a challange for the community to help me .
