JS41 LUA commands ned help

[Jan Kremmel]

hello, i tried to install the JS41.LUA commands without success.

as descriped in article:

1.) i copied the code into a wordpad file and saved it as JS41.LUA (see below the saved code)

2.) i saved it into the microsoft FSX "modules" folder

3.) i reload all buttons. but there is no entry in the list (right site, buttons and switches, control send when button pressed).

it would be very helpful if someone could help me.

there are also some macro code in the list. do i have this also to save in the JS41.LUA file?

thanks for your help.

here the saved code:

1.) i copied the code into a wordpad file and saved it as JS41.LUA (see below the saved code)

If it a VERY VERY bad idea to use WordPad for any configuration or program files. Use NotePad, not Wordpad! Wordpad assumes you are dealing with documents, not text files.

2.) i saved it into the microsoft FSX "modules" folder

3.) i reload all buttons. but there is no entry in the list (right site, buttons and switches, control send when button pressed).

If there are ANY files with type 'lua' in the FS Modules folder then FSUIPC lists them in the drop-down lists for Buttons, Keys and Axes. This is completely unrelated to what is actually IN the file. So, one of three things must be true:

1. You didn't actually save it with the name JS41.lua. Possible Wordpad saved it as "JS41.lua.doc" or similar, OR

2. You aren't looking for the correct entry. For JS41.lua the entry will say "Lua js41", OR

3. You are using an old usupported version of FSUIPC which pre-dates Lua support.

Thanks Mr. Pete,

i will try it today night. i think the problem is the point with the wordpad doc file.

i am not sure about the code. on the page there are 3 parts of code

a.) LUA commands

b.) Macro

c.) Cold and dark LUA

must i copie all 3 code sections in one file or in 3 different files?

thanks für great help! Jan

Sorry, what 'page' is this? What Lua file? The one you are saving? Surely if you have downloaded it or copied it, as a file for saving, it is a file, a single file. If it was multiple files, it will be multiple files. I don't know because I don't think you are referring to noe of mine?

now, it works fine. thanks jan
