[Short freeze on button press]

Thank you for your feedback!

a run once, self killing lua with possibly 200+ commands!?! That is a lot of iterations to run through each time an assigned button is pressed.

Thats what I was thinking too. The script is quite large indeed (1000+ lines). However, I tried cropping the script to only four commands but the result was the same.

It would be more efficient to have the lua auto-started (and compiled!) and activated on an event flag.

I am not sure how to do that. I believed that adding the lua to the autostart section in the .ini would do that. But again, this doesnt seem to make any difference.

I am going to rewrite the script according to spokes´ suggestion and see if that helps.

I am unfortunetly unable to post it as I am only allowed to upload 10kb. But here is an excerpt:

Hi,

I am using regisitered FSUIPC 5.15 with p3d 4.4 to control several custom functions in aerosofts F-14X using the lua script provided with that aircraft. However, when I depress a button on my joystick that is associated with a lua command, the sim freezes for about half a second. This happens on both my VPC stick and WH throttle. Besides the F-14X I am using ORBX FTX Global and NA Landclass and VRS Tacpack. This also happens in FSX:SE with FSUIPC4 und the same conditions. I already tried adding the F-14 lua script to the autoload function but this didn't help. Any ideas are much appreciated. Ini and Log file are attached.
