LaLa Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm looking into some programming radios, and I wondered is there a way to get or set the initial radio frequency programmatically either before or after a mission start? I dont want to have to look in-plane for the present setting, but once I either set programmically, or determined from a variable, I've got a green light. Sure, if the mission breifing uses a frequency, but how to get that value from the .miz file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but this is an excel/open office "program" I wrote to make .lua files to set the presets in the A-10C. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=182703 Hop that's what you need.

LaLa Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thank you Wrench that was helpful, I didnt even realize the .miz was a compressed file! Unfortunately I dont think radio presets, that are saved in-plane are written to disk? Too bad that would make things easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog-IC Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Unfortunately I dont think radio presets, that are saved in-plane are written to disk? Too bad that would make things easier. You should be able to use the "prepare mission function" of the mission editor to save all radio presets and frequencies in the mission itself, read the DCS "User Manual.pdf" for instructions. A-10C CDU. All setting except a mission editor flight plan that can't be changed. IFFCC. The block of test menu. MFCD. Lower OSB buttons functionality. SADL. Network user ID, callname etc. (NET page) TAD. Profiles. TGP. Laser codes, integration, calibration method, gain settings, TAAF altitude. DSMS. Mission Control Page settings. Weapon profiles. + UHF, VHF_AM, VHF_FM radio frequencies. Once your avionics are setup as desired for the mission, exit the mission and press the SAVE button in the ME once again to save all of the prepared data in the mission file. Regards, Ian.

Habu_69 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 First prepare and save a mission. Open the mission.miz file with WinRAR or WinZIP and you will see a RADIO .lua file for each radio. Open those files with a .lua editor, like Notepad +++ and edit them as you wish. I have standard radio freq files that I add to all missions.

LaLa Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Thank you Habu 69 and Mad Dog IC all good stuff, I suppose there isnt a user template we could modify to prevent continual modifications for every mission. Never mind very helpful anyway! La Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
