Hi,

Is there an update on the F-16 being supported.

Hi,

I'm working on the F-16 cockpit right now. It's going to take a while. It's just a lot of work to get something like that finished.

Awesome!!!

Look forwarded to it.

I'm as well very much looking forward to the F-16 support!
If there is just tedious work to be done where an "outsider" can support you, let me know!

Danke für deine Antwort!
Bisher habe ich keine nennenswerte Erfahrung mit lua. Aber ich habe Zeit und bin motiviert! ;-) Wenn ich einen Einstieg hab, mich an schon Vorhandenem entlang hangeln kann, bin ich nicht auf den Kopf gefallen. Und Fleiß-Aufgaben sind dann nicht das Problem...
Denkst du es ist realistisch mir Starthilfe zu geben, so dass ich dann in absehbarer Zeit etwas beisteuern kann?
LG Micha

Danke! Das war genau was ich gebraucht habe! Keine Ahnung warum ich das Wiki bisher ignoriert hab.
Ein Frage: wo müsste ich die im Kapitel 10 erwähnte XML Datei finden?

Leider habe ich trotz unzähliger Versuche es nicht geschafft die Dateien zum Laufen zu bringen.
Vermutlich hängt es an irgendeinem kleinen Fehler in Namensgebung oder meiner Art zu testen...
Wenn eine laufende Datei da ist bin ich gern wieder bereit weiterzuhelfen!

F-16C.zip

Ist das der richtige Weg Dateien zu senden?
Da ich das Export Script mit "DCS Interface for StreamDeck" nutze, habe ich kein Ikarus, und deshalb auch keine .xml

Ich bin gespant... ;)

Hello. My german is horrible, so english only for me.

Look at "exports.log", and try making this in your file:
ExportScript.Version.F-16C = "1.2.1" - Change to ExportScript.Version.F_16C_50 = "1.2.1" with the filename F-16C_50.lua

I am using stream deck as well. Had to create something similar for F14.

Don't forget that Streamdeck needs Ports 26027 and 1725 configured in DCSExport.

Danke Heinz!
As long as the function wasn't given, I saw no use in population the file with more items. If I do get it running, I'll do more.

Thank you synackack for your tips! I'll give those a try and report back!
Since the StreamDeck is working fine with the other modules (FA-18,...) I guess the ports are configured...

Thanks, Michael

I just flew the F16 last night using what you started with. The file name does need to be F16C_50.lua, and the Export Script Version will break if a "-" is processed, so change to what I recommend.

With Windows powershell, you can watch log files live for tracebacks or lua errors. You will see the error I speak of when you start the F16 with your file.

In powershell;
Get-Content dcs.log -wait | where {$_.contains("error")}
or
Get-Content Export.log -wait

Both in your "%homepath%\Saved Games\dcs.openbeta\logs"

Try the file I attached.

Hahaha, I thought it would be something like that!
It works!!! Awesome!
Back to copy/paste...

This is what I have so far. Not complete, but a good starting point, I hope...
I have other commitments coming up, and less time to spare, so I thought I'd share what I have!

Hi,
How do I get the current mission/sim time?
I know how to export various variable in export.lua but I can't get the actual sim time.
I use the F16. I can export the analog clock dials position it will show my the time in 12hours format which will not distinguish between 6am and 6pm e.g.

Hey there! I see a year ago you had mentioned you were working on an F-16 lua. Any update on that? Thanks for all the hard work! This is my first time installing and I was sad to not see F-14 or F-16 :(

Thanks!! :)

Today I installed DCS-ExportScripts and found out that the release files don't contain the F-16. After looking at #16 i found this link: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/252202-missing-crash-logs-f-16cs-tgp-causes-the-game-to-crash/?tab=comments#comment-4589839 that file probably originated from this thread. Would be nice if the work on F-16_50.lua could be tracked somewhere.
@TripleSix-coder what is missing until this is ready to be released? Would you be willing to make a pull request.

Hi! I've given it a try last year. But ultimately I'm lacking knowledge to do it right.
And the time to do it.
If it was just some filling out and copy/past work, maybe I could contribute. But as it is, I just don't understand what is required well enough.

I found this somewhere, and it's working great for me, some things aren't working quite right like the volume and cabin light knobs, but I can live with that
