Popi Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Win 7 64 FSX Gold Edition FSUIPC ver. 460a registered. LUA script for PMDG J41---January 4,2011 by Guensei. I am using my fathers computer and programs and this is my first lua/fusipc program. I do not find an editor in Win\system32, as instructed by Guensei. I has the script in notepad and saved a new file, new.txt. How do I change the txt file to new.lua extension? Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I change the txt file to new.lua extension? Save it with the Lua extension instead of the txt extension. If you don't know how, just rename the file after you saved it.

Popi Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have renamed the file to new.lua but it shows up as a text document in the documents library. 79KB. Is new.lua correct to copy it to the modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go intoExplorer's folder options and uncheck the options to "hide file extensions for known file types". Then you'be able to see the real extension. It doesn't matter what it is called in the Modules folder, but only files of type "lua" are recognised as Luas plug-ins, and the rest of the name must be 12 characters or less excluding the . before lua.

Pete Pete You are correct. the hide extensions were check on. After unchecking the extentions, thefiles came up as new.lua.lua. I rename that file to new.lua in the modules. Good assist Pete. thanks Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
