DCS Cockpit Arguments

[Mt5_Roie]

Is there a master list of DSC Cockpit arguments somewhere? I'm working on creating a cockpit and I found the following arguments from the wunderluft code:

 

PlanePickleOn = 350,

PlanePickleOff = 351,

PlaneFireOn = 84,

PlaneFireOff = 85,

 

I also found the ones for gear up and down, flaps up and down. But I'm looking for the rest of them. I'm trying to find the opens for speedbrakes and the canopy. but would like to see the master list to see what is built into to DCS that I have to use.

this is the list I've found so Far using EDMViewer, But I cant sit in ModelViewer Toggling ARGs right now:

AFAIK, you can assign any argument number for your cockpit switch/buttons - clickabledata.lua

 

List of basic commands for gear, brakes, lights etc etc you can find at DCS World\Config\Export\export.lua

 

So basically, argument number is not standardized for cockpit animation, but list of basic action commands is standard - this number you have to use at your_device.lua

When I was testing it from the cockpit I basiclly had a counter that goes up by one everytime I press the button. I found that 8-14 activates external views. So it might be different from the EDModelViewer shows.

 

I'll look at the export file....thanks.

[SkateZilla]

yeah, those arent ARG Numbers, they are command numbers..

 

which are in the export.lua

[Mt5_Roie]

Looking at export right now. Going to test some of the commands on there.

[aaron886]

Exactly. There are no such thing as cockpit arguments anymore... you define them yourself. For example, I'm using 0-100 for mechanical parts, 101-200 for console switches, etc. Animation can be defined in mainpanel_init and switch action is done via clickabledata and a device of your choosing.

[Mt5_Roie]

Thanks guys. Still learning with the Wunderluft example and got a simple hud set up and working on how to set up a cockpit with working buttons. Been having good success so far, but still can't get canopy to work right.

[Mt5_Roie]

So I'm still having issues trying to get a tailhook to work. In the EDModelViewer the animation for the tailhook is arg 25 from 0 to 1. So in my clickabledata.lau I have:

elements["PNT-10"]			= {class = {class_type.BTN}, hint = "", device = devices.AVIONICS, action = {device_commands.Button_10}, stop_action = {device_commands.Button_19}, arg = {25}, arg_value = {1.0}, arg_lim = {{0.0, 1.0}}, use_release_message = {true} }							 

 

PNT-10 is the cockpit button I want to link it to. It's linked to the AVIONICS device. Which has the following code:

  if command == 3010 then
print("Tailhook Pressed")
dispatch_action(nil,69)
 end 

 

When the button is pressed, I get the log portion that says it was pressed, but tailhook doesn't go down. I do see that it seems to run the animation on the cockpit that is tied to animation arg 25 for it though.

Right Sevas...

AFAIK, you can assign any argument number for your cockpit switch/buttons - clickabledata.lua

So basically, argument number is not standardized for cockpit animation, but list of basic action commands is standard - this number you have to use at your_device.lua

That's not a cockpit argument, now is it? External arguments are currently limited. Only solution is to wait for a future update.

[SVKSniper]

Hey guys i have one idea.....

Now we see in clickabledat.lua: external canopy argument = 38

If i use external refuelboom argument = 22.......hm???

Aaron,

 

Thanks again for your wisdom. I guess the wording I used was a bit off. The numbers I was looking for were actually in the export.lua so that helped a lot. I also got confused between cockpit arguments and external arguments. Taking baby learning steps here.

 

The good news is last night I was finally able to map the stick, rudder, throttle to their correct animations, which is awesome. Plus I started getting some gauges to work and had great success there.

 

So thanks to everyone who's helped out.

[SkateZilla]

Well there''s external Args, Cockpit Args, and then COMMAND numbers.

Does anybody know what's correct argument value for F18 HMD brightness knob?

The one that is used  (136)  in SIM cockpit  app https://simvc.com/ isn't correct because it doesnt work...

  panel:get_argument_value(136) --[[ 5 HMD OFF/BRT Knob ]],

It is 58.
