Once again lua mod


Recommended Posts

Can someone verify i have done this right for the 737 NGX,

 

I have added both files in the module folder - Dynamicfriction.lua and frictions.lua

 

and these are the entrys that are in my FSUIPC.INI

 

 
[Auto]
1=Lua frictions
 
[LuaFiles]
1=Frictions
2=DynamicFriction
 
[Auto]
1 = LUA DynamicFriction

You cannot have two sections with the same name, i.e.

 

[Auto]
1=Lua frictions
 
and 
 
[Auto]
1 = LUA DynamicFriction
 

Only one of those sections will be applied (and I'm not even sure which -- it is a Windows function).

 

Why do you want to run two friction programs at the same time, one fixed and one dynamic? They'd conflict in any case! Just delete the section you don't need.

 

BTW those aren't specifically for the 737 NGX, but all aircraft. Did you only want it specifically for the 737NGX?

Sorry pete been away, yeh i just want it for the 737 NGX specifically :) i read it from a manual it must be wrong then.

 

To load it just for the NGX, you need to have the NGX configured in an FSUIPC Profile, eg "737NGX", then use 

 

[AUTO.737NGX]

1=Lua DynamicFriction

I'm running a 737NGX profile with FSUIPC

Will i need to manually input that 737NGX after AUTO?

 

Not sure what you mean.

 

With

 

[Auto]

1=Lua DynamicFriction

 

in the INI file, that friction plug-in will operate with all aircraft. If you edit it to

 

[Auto.737NGX]

1=Lua DynamicFriction

 

assuming 737NGX is the name of the profile then it will only operate with that profile.

I'm wanting it for the NGX but i'm not too fussed about having it only for the NGX so i'll just keep it at like this -

 

[Auto]
1 = LUA DynamicFriction
 
is that ok?
 
 
Also will this not work with the NGX -
 
[Auto]
1=Lua frictions
 
I'm not sure the difference between the both now?

You can't have both. The original was "Frictions" which applies the friction changes all the time on the ground. I didn't write the dynamic one but I think it replaces the original braking frictions above a certain speed. I don't know though -- have a look inside it and see. There will be comments I expect. Lua files are only ordinary text files.

 

Maybe you should have read about them before trying to use them? You seem to think you need them. I thought they weren't wanted on the PMDG aircraft as they had set things correctly in any case.

This is what i have

 

[Auto]
1=Lua DynamicFriction
 
[LuaFiles]
1=DynamicFriction

 

Don't ever touch the [LuaFiles] section. that is maintained by FSUIPC.

 

 
I thought this corrected PMDG? I'm not sure i'll have to ask on avsim

 

You mean that PMDG got something wrong? Really? I'd re-check that if I were you! ;-)

 

Anyway, wouldn't you be better off asking on the PMDG 737NGX forum?
