Brian S Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm looking for a simple way to read information from flight sim (p3d v4.1) without have to try to learn C++, etc. Can I do that with a LUA script? can I write to Flightsim as well with a LUA script?

Yes, both. the documentation of the Lua functions to do this is in your FSUIPC documents folder 9see the "ipc" library part of the Library pdf), and there are plenty of different examples in the "Exmples" ZIP file in the same folder. Lua itself, as a language, is documented on the lua.org website, and also in books easily obtainable. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may like to look at LINDA which provides a easy way to integrate sophisticated actions using LUA. There are many available modules for specific aircraft. It free to use.
