LUA Error in log file - can it be switched off?

[kaha]

I get errors logged if I send input events that are not subscribed. Here's an example:

   646938 *** LUA Error: C:\FSUIPC7\l_kaha_lua.lua:706: Error sending Input Event 'AS530_COM_VLOC_Khz'

Can I switch error logging off for this? Sometimes I send multipüle input events so it works for different aircraft. Else I would need to have an if else construct which means I have to touch the Lua file for each new aircraft.

Does the lua continue or exit with that error?

No.

Input Events, like lvars, are aircraft specific. However, input event names may be shared between aircraft (although they will be different Input Events, and maybe with different values.

That is what you have to do... If you want to use the same script with multiple aircraft, different Input Events, then just check the aircraft name (offset 0x3D00) and then use/set the name of the appropriate Input Event to use. You can always have a default Input Event to use if the aircraft is not known by the lua script, but if that doesn't work then you would have to edit the lua to add another condition to set the Input Event name for the new aircraft.

Note I have had a severe crash on my development PC (after a Windows Insider Upgrade) and I currently have no access to the FSUIPC source or development environment. Therefore support will be limited for the next week or two while I rebuild my systems.

Ok.

The script does not end, so that's fine.

Maybe there's a way to check if a specific input event is valid for the aircraft loaded?

Good luck with your PC!

Hmmm... I could read the .log file and parse the input events FSUIPC found.

No, but I could add such a function.

So there is no real issue - just ignore the message!

Sounds like overkill - a lot of work for no real benefit.

Such a function would be very nice to have.

It's easy.

Ok, but this may take a while...I have other series issues I need to look into, besides rebuilding my PC,  before I can look into any further changes to FSUIPC7.

That's fine, John. I will parse the log file in the meantime.
