I understand that some people here may have already played with LOMAC LUA scripting. Can anyone give me a short summary of what they know about this? If not, I s'pose i'll have to go and read the files myself . :D In case anyone is interested I am application developer. I mostly work on Unix / Oracle apps, though can program in C/C++/Perl/Ksh/Oracle/VB and a few others. pat.

Well, I don't mind to answer my own question. There doesn't appear to be as much functionality as I would have liked. It appears to be a limited subset, just enough for primitive cockpit mods: This is from the export.lua file: Data that we can get out: ================= LoGetModelTime() -- returns current model time (args - 0, results - 1 (sec)) LoGetMissionStartTime() -- returns mission start time (args - 0, results - 1 (sec)) LoGetPilotName() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (text string)) LoGetIndicatedAirSpeed() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (knots)) LoGetTrueAirSpeed() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (knots)) LoGetAltitudeAboveSeaLevel() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (feet)) LoGetAltitudeAboveGroundLevel() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (feet)) LoGetAngleOfAttack() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (degrees)) LoGetAccelerationUnits() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (G)) LoGetVerticalVelocity() -- (args - 0, results - 1(feet per sec)) LoGetADIPitchBankYaw() -- (args - 0, results - 3 (degrees)) Inputs we can give programatically to LOMAC: ============================= They are identifed by a number which is passed to function LoSetCommand(command, value) where: value is between -1.0, 1.0 and: command = 1 - joystick pitch command = 2 - joystick roll command = 3 - joystick rudder command = 4 - joystick thrust (both engines) command = 5 - joystick left engine thrust command = 6 - joystick right engine thrust command = 7 - mouse camera rotate left/right command = 8 - mouse camera rotate up/down command = 9 - mouse camera zoom command = 10 - joystick camera rotate left/right command = 11 - joystick camera rotate up/down command = 12 - joystick camera zoom command = 13 - mouse pitch command = 14 - mouse roll command = 15 - mouse rudder command = 16 - mouse thrust (both engines) command = 17 - mouse left engine thrust command = 18 - mouse right engine thrust command = 19 - mouse trim pitch command = 20 - mouse trim roll command = 21 - mouse trim rudder command = 22 - joystick trim pitch command = 23 - joystick trim roll command = 24 - trim rudder command = 25 - mouse rotate radar antenna left/right command = 26 - mouse rotate radar antenna up/down command = 27 - joystick rotate radar antenna left/right command = 28 - joystick rotate radar antenna up/down command = 29 - mouse MFD zoom command = 30 - joystick MFD zoom command = 31 - mouse move selecter left/right command = 32 - mouse move selecter up/down command = 33 - joystick move selecter left/right command = 34 - joystick move selecter up/down command = 7 - cockpit view (F1) command = 8 - external view (F2) command = 64 - increase thrust (both engines) command = 65 - decrease thrust (both engines) command = 72 - flaps on/off command = 73 - air brake on/off command = 84 - cannon fire on command = 85 - cannon fire off command = 161 - increase left engine thrust command = 162 - decrease left engine thrust command = 163 - increase right engine thrust command = 164 - decrease right engine thrust command = 350 - weapons pickle on command = 351 - weapons pickle off Is this useful for anyone? I don't plan on making my own cockpit in near century but I do like to hack programs, in a nice way of course. ;-)
