LUA question on F1 Cessna Mustang

[jaoder]

I am trying to run the F1MustangSWCtl.lua file included with FSUIPC LUA Plug-ins on FSX and am having some issues getting it to work properly. I copied this file along with the ipcready.lua file to the modules folder as instructed, assigned the switches and buttons to the luaset F1MustangSwCt in FSUIPC profile setup for the A/C got everything working as desired. Shut down FSX then next time I brought the A/C up none of the switch assignments worked, I checked the settings in FSUIPC and they were all still there. So I experimented a little and changed some of the setting over to luatoggle F1MustangSwCl. and those assignments started working cycled FSX brought up the A/C those switches no longer worked. Went back to luaset got them working until I shut down FSX, I am not a programmer or that familiar with LUA (yet) but would like to use this file if possible. I have included my current FSUIPC.ini file. Over all I have found FSUIPC to be an excellent addon to FSX so I'm sure it something I'm missing.

Thanks

John

I am trying to run the F1MustangSWCtl.lua file included with FSUIPC LUA Plug-ins on FSX and am having some issues getting it to work properly. I copied this file along with the ipcready.lua file to the modules folder as instructed, assigned the switches and buttons to the luaset F1MustangSwCt in FSUIPC profile setup for the A/C got everything working as desired. Shut down FSX then next time I brought the A/C up none of the switch assignments worked

Looking at the ipcReady file provided, it only runs the Mustang lua if this line is true:

if ipc.readSTR(0x3D00, 18) == "F1_Cessna_Mustang1" then

Since ipcReady.lua is only run at the start, it will only run the Mustang lua if you load a flight initially with the aircraft named (exactly) "F1_Cessna_Mustang1". No others will do. Thereafter you can only run that Lua by assigning a button or key to it and running it that way.

I think when the Mustang files were contributed it was probably before the "Auto" facilities were available. Now it would be far better to add this to your FSUIPC INI file:

[Auto.F1 Cessna Mustang]

1=Lua F1MustangSwCtl

and delete the ipcReady.lua file altogether.

Regards

Pete

Thanks Pete that did the trick, I had tried the "Auto" before but didn't remove the ipcready.lua file. There are a couple of functions that don't work but the control may have changed with some of the updates to the plane since that was written. I used your Lvar logging file and got a list of all the Lvars so now I can have some fun learning how to write LUA scripts.

Thanks again,

John
