donbinator Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I rarely start a thread on the DCS forum but I'm a bit stumped. It appears that export.lua moved again? It used to be the dcs programs folder, then moved to the saved games folder, now there seems to be one again in the scripts folder. My helios profile, which has been working for years, is not now, nor is my custom stuff for all my switches and knobs etc. I have no idea what version I just installed, but it was 1/4/2017 when I installed it (an upgrade to the 1.X series DCS). The new export.lua in my scripts folder looks like it has a lot of new helpful comments, but I used to be able to click a button in my Helios config and it would modify it for me... No one has said anything so I feel like I'm missing something basic here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG14_Smil Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This has all been covered. You wan the export lua in your saved games/scripts folder. You may have to create the folder and you may need to manually copy it there. You may need to delete or comment out a line in the export.lua. I'll have to go find it as you don'ts seem to want to.

JG14_Smil Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Fix export.lua for DCS1.5.5 !! 12/Nov/2016 Hello all ! With the dcs v1.5.5 the export.lua dont work anymore. if you are using one of my export.lua, look for this line: os.setlocale("ISO-8559-1", "numeric") here are instructions to fix the export.lua and comment it like this: -- os.setlocale("ISO-8559-1", "numeric") That fix the problem. Meanwhile i am going to revise why this line dont work. Thanks a lot to alpha7-bravo4, he discover the problem a couple of days ago! This should fix you up. There has been a lot of changes since you last flown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbinator Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks JG14! I actually fly quite frequently, but I try to avoid grabbing every single update since I usually have a spare 40 minutes or so to fly, and I find the updates take all my flying time :). Usually the updates haven't messed with my export so I was surprised not to see more people asking about this one... Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbinator Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yep that worked! OK except for my radar RDR thingy but that always gets screwed up so I have a backup for that. Thanks again, not sure how whoever figured this out did, but that would have taken me forever to figure out! Fix export.lua for DCS1.5.5 !! 12/Nov/2016 Hello all !
