Reload LUA plug-in after editing

[Emile B. 0]

Is it possible to refresh a lua plug-in without having to reload the aircraft that uses it ?  I am editing a lua plug-in that I wrote for the PMDG NGX to use it with the PMDG NGXu.  Testing modifications currently requires me to restart P3DV4.5 as PMDG aircraft can't be loaded over the top of one another, which is rather time-consuming.  Sorry if this has already been asked, but I did search the forum to begin with, to no avail.  Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Emile Bax.

Hi,

as soon you have a Lua file in your ..\Modules\ folder you can define Keys or Buttons to different functions to it. Just i.e. define a Key and search for your Lua file, then you will find all sorts of functions you can choose from (Kill / Start / Set / Toggle / ... ). This will do what you are looking for.

Hi Emile,

in addition to what Thomas has said, you can also reload your assignments by using the 'Reload all assignments' button in the Axis Assignment tab, or the 'Reload all buttons' button in the Buttons & Switches tab.

Cheers,
