Export Values for Engine Informations

Hello all,

i'd like to export the DCS Engine Values:

LoGetEngineInfo() -- (args - 0 ,results = table)

engineinfo =

{

RPM = {left, right},(%)

Temperature = { left, right}, (Celcium degrees)

HydraulicPressure = {left ,right},kg per square centimeter

fuel -- fuel quantity kg

}

But none of these values seem to work.

Or did a make something wrong? ...

function LuaExportAfterNextFrame()

local engine = LoGetEngineInfo();

socket.try(c:send(string.format("RPM = %.4f, \n", engine.RPM))

end

end

If no error...is the another way to get these values e.g. via exporting instrument values?

If yes, how?

THX for any help!!!

use engine.RPM.left and try

Thx but doa'nt work, at least at most aircrafts.

I'll noted that simshaker uses the Instrumentpanel for this:

get_argument_value

e.g.

local RPM = MainPanel:get_argument_value(50) * 100

But the responsible value number differs for every aircraft.

May someone know how i can figure out the right panel value number?

EDIT: found it. Values can be found are under

Your Drive:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\*Aircraft*\Cockpit\Scripts\mainpanel_init.lua

Yes, the LoGetEngineInfo() gives information of FC airplanes.

For other airplanes you need to use the get argument functions. And yes, every airplane got his own values.

You can check in the file mainpanel_init.lua, usually over there you found the data you need.

For example: in the KA50

D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Ka-50\Cockpit\Scripts\mainpanel_init.lua

---------------------------------------------------
-- Rotor RPM

RotorRPM					= CreateGauge()
RotorRPM.arg_number			= 52
RotorRPM.input				= {0.0, 110.0}
RotorRPM.output				= {0.0, 1.0}
RotorRPM.controller			= controllers.RotorRPM

So to get the value you need to do:

local MainPanel = GetDevice(0)

rotorRPM= MainPanel:get_argument_value(52)

..

Any idea where to find this information for the F-18C? In its mainpanel_init there are only arguments for left and right throttle position (e.g. LeftThrottle.arg_number = 104), but not for engine RPM.

Any help with this would be greatly apprechiated. I need the Hornet engine RPM for refining the bass-shaker output on the Motion Integrated G-Seat. Already wrote to ED regarding this but received no reply.

Did you ever figure this out? I am looking to get the same data, for the exact same reason (bass shaker, not the g seat).

Thanks mate!
