Hi Pete,
I'm new to the forum. Can you help me with the DynamicFriction.lua, please? I only today discovered (via a post in the Classic British Flight Sim forums) that FSUIPC can address the ground friction issue in FSX that was also present in FS9. I thought I'd followed the instructions there, which were:
- download the latest version of FSUIPC (I had 4.9.0 but have replaced it with 4.9.2.3)
- copied the DynamicFriction.lua file from the installer's 'example LUA plugins' zip archive into the modules folder
The CBFS instructions then say that when FSX is run, that an additional entry is automatically made to the INI file, which activates the LUA file:
[Auto]
1=Lua DynamicFrictionI've done all of this, but the automatic addition to the INI file doesn't happen. When I add it manually, there's no difference in the sim. What I did to confirm was to run the default Cessna up to 50kts at full power and then cut the power and let the plane run, noting where it stops. It stops in exactly the same place without the LUA file, and with it and the INI file addition.
There must be something that I'm not doing correctly - can you help, please?
Many thanks from the UK.

Thanks for the feedback, Pete, I've left the Auto section in. Like you, I don't know if that test was meaningful (it was a repeat of what someone else did on Avsim) but It certainly does appear to make planes behave better on the ground. Thanks for all your efforts on behalf of the community.
