Want to get started with LUA and DCS:WH

[Jinja]

Hi 'pitters,

 

I've been lurking on these forums for some time, and have my own little pit at home for A-10C. Nothing mad or that needed alot of skill in doing. Some switches, some woodwork, and am working on overlaying of Thrustmaster MFDs onto a 2nd monitor.

 

So I've always followed threads about the power of LUA and what it can provide. And whilst I am a 35yr old commercial developer in c# + WPF, I have no knowledge of LUA at all, and have stayed away due to time (family ;-) constraints.

 

But having just followed Kylania's 'Mark point to Flight Plan programming of a CDU' document, I have an idea that would let me focus on a particular aspect and give me the incentive of learning LUA.

 

I have a 6" touchscreen Samsung Q1 which is lying around. Completely useless in 2010! So:

 

* If it's possible to export the individual lines of text from the CDU via LUA

and

* If it's possible to discretely push any of the CDU buttons via key-strokes or LUA

 

I have all the tools necessary to create a networked CDU application in .Net.

 

Can people tell me if the above are true, and if so, I'll get cracking.

 

Thanks!
