1.5.5, but I have read the changelog and there is nothing in it which leads me to the assumption it is not fixed nor even on their radar.

Hi, I think I found a little bug. When you start in a fresh A/C the position on the knee-board is correct. When you rearm, right when the ground chief answers "rearming complete" the position on the knee-board changes. At this point the position is wrong, actually only the E/W changes. Example initial position in Kutaisi is 44 E, after rearm it shows 34 E. Tried this a couple of times and it happens every time (not only for me but friends as well). This might be worth checking out. Thanks, Mkay

Hi, I am currently trying to build a remote INS application for the Mirage. I am using the export.lua to do inputs to the INS (which works great so far). Since I want to also display the INS selector knob I want to read the position of the knob, this is where I fail. I read after getting the device with "GetDevice(9)" (9 is the PCN Nav) I could perform a get_argument_value. Sadly there is no function for this nor any other that sounds like it would do the job. Anyone knows of a way to read switch positions in the export lua? Thanks and love the module :) MKay

Figured it out. The receive method reads all data from the socket until reaching a Line Feed character. So I needed to pass a "\n" at the end of my send message. Works all fine now.

Hello I am currently working on a little application which communicates with dcs. I hooked up a tcp socket in the export lua, which sends every second a a few infos to the application. This works all fine. Now I want to send data from the application to the export.lua and I am stuck. I debugged the application with an external tcp client that communicates with my app and it received the data all fine, its just export.lua which ignores it. Here is a little of my code (step is called on every LuaExportAfterNextFrame): mkay.step = function() local ct = LoGetModelTime(); if(mkay.nextStep <= ct) then mkay.nextStep = ct + 1; local val = list_indication(10); local sp = splitPCNData(val); local s = JSON:encode(sp):gsub("\n","").."\n"; local c1, c2, c3 = mkay.con:send(s) if c1 then else if c3 == 0 then if c2 == "closed" then mkay.fo:write("c2 - ", "\n"); mkay.con = socket.tcp(); mkay.con:settimeout(.01); end mkay.con:connect(mkay.host, mkay.port); mkay.fo:write("c3 - ", "\n"); end end end local line, err = mkay.con:receive(); if err then else mkay.fo:write("received", "\n"); local msg = line; local cmd = string.sub(msg,1,1); if(cmd == "D") then mkay.fo:write(msg, "\n"); local args = StrSplit(string.sub(msg,2),","); local dev = GetDevice(args[1]); if(type(dev) == "table") then dev:performClickableAction(args[2],args[3]); end end end end I log to a file so see whats happening, but I never ever see a "received" in my log. If I do log the error from the receive I get "Timeout" all the time, as an error. This is how I setup the socket. mkay.con = socket.tcp(); mkay.con:settimeout(.01); mkay.con:connect(mkay.host, mkay.port); Any ideas? Thanks, Mkay

I agree, so it should not be able to do 310kph at sea level. But it should be able to go around 250kph at least. Also I can get to like 160kph with 60% torque, but if I increase the torque to 80% I just get to 190kph, increasing to 95% has almost no effect on speed what so ever. It feels like torque over 70% has very little effect. Same I noticed in hover.

Hi, I really like the Gazelle, even though it is not finished yet. But some how the performance, especially the cruise speed feels odd. I can't get the Gazelle over 200kph in level flight, even though on sea level with almost no load. Additionally the engine performance with increasing altitude seems a little weak. I can barely hover at 2000m in ground effect. I kinda sucks to be the slowest helicopter in dcs, since the Gazelle is actually one of the fastest helicopters. I found a original POH of the Gazelle (SA 341 so SA 342 should be even more powerfull) Ref: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C3%A9rospatiale_SA_341/342 Its a german article but it states the Gazelle (342) has a maximum level speed at sea level of 310kph! and the 341 of 260kph. I attached the original chart for the 341 for level light performance. Is this going to change in the future? Thanks and best, MKay

Thanks, tried it and it works like a charm.

Hi guys, is there a way to stop a radio transmission via script? I start a transmission as follows: trigger.action.radioTransmission(_sound, _grp:getUnit(1):getPoint(), 0, false, 200000, 1000) So it is not looping. The sound actually just gets played once, but when I sit in my huey to track that transmission, the needle for intesitiy just stays up a full deflection. So even though I dont hear anything anymore, I can still track that frequency. I want to clear that frequency and reuse it at a later time, but I cant see to stop it transmitting. Thanks
