Experimental DCS Plugin ready for testing

Happy New Year and enjoy!

Yes that’s what I used in the code above, it allows the other data to come through as per the screenshot but nothing on Extra2 which was for the RPM.

Hi @Dirty hope your headache after the party wasn't too bad!

I just wanted to check if DCS_Exp will operate the Virtual Axis in Game Engine Tools?

(Using my same axis profile they work fine with MSFS but in DCS there is no movement of the Virtual Axis. I do see the values in the Tuning Centre Game Data Input though..)

This is a screenshot where you can see the values in the tuning centre but nothing in virtual axis:

Many thanks @noorbeast ! That worked. I just set some arbitrary values in the game limits (will still do an actual capture) but that was enough to get the virtual axis reacting:

Just regained consciousness and basic body functions :-D

That's great to hear you got it working. Post here what you do with those slots. Chances are others will benefit from it in the future.

Cheers,...

Haha!
Thanks, I am still looking for the answer to get the RPM data for the Spitfire to show but if or when I find out will be certain to share!

Chances are people over on the EagleDynamics forums know how to export RPM. I did it once for the P51....

YeeHAAA!! Done!!!

I managed to find the required code and arguments to make this work.
In addition to the MainPanel = Export.GetDevice(0) it needed this:
"if MainPanel ~= 0 then
MainPanel:update_arguments()
end"
So to extract any data using known aircraft arguments you want the following code (this example for the Spitfire RPM, (multiplied by 10000 to get the correct figure)):

Code:

--RPM Data
    MainPanel = Export.GetDevice(0)
        if MainPanel ~= 0 then
            MainPanel:update_arguments()
          end
        local RPM = MainPanel:get_argument_value(37) * 10000   

Here is my complete code (it will be easy to add anotherfor Extra3 but I have what I need here):

I will still do a "Windiness" based on RPM and airspeed.
Here is a screenshot of the values coming through:

Oh,.. thats great!

I will add some of that code to the script so that new users can find it right in the script

Thanks a lot!

Thank you @Dirty!!

More progress!
I have put together a Wind formula and managed to display the Wind in Game Dash and RPM in Game Vibe, they are all working nicely. From here it's just a question of populating all the required fields, then seeing what the best way of running everything is with the Arduinos. Probably a combination of SMC3 for the g-force seat and airspeed force feedback (I currently have the latter running off DCSbios), some wind code for the fans to run off Game Dash and to see if I can replace Simshaker with Game Vibe to run the ButtKicker, thus have everything running off SimTools. (Only the 72 odd controls in the HFS Spitfire run off BU's)
To calculate the Wind I worked on the premise that most of the wind generated will be off the prop and only a little added relatively by the airspeed (200 plus 50 to give 250 max wind). So if the engine stops and you are gliding, you will still get an airspeed wind but much reduced as a result. Just my excperience from my open cockpit flying and stands to reason, the prop has to much out much more wind to generate the thrust required to achieve the airspeed
Here's the latest test showing feed to GameVibe (RPM) and GameDash (Wind) and the supporting code:

Just a word of caution, GetDevice(0) will not pick up all values happily.
I have been playing with the other values like Canopy (138) and then nothing works, while adding something like Boost (39) works fine.
Its important for the wind to know the canopy state to switch off the outside fan, so would still like to understand how to extract ALL available values, but for now I guess I can always insert a physical switch in the circuit. Not that you would notice sitting inside the cockpit anyway..

I noticed that you are making the call to...

Code:

MainPanel = Export.GetDevice(0)

...inside the...

Code:

function SimTools_Callbacks.onSimulationFrame()

That means it is called every frame. It may be less expensive to make that call only once in the...

Code:

function SimTools_Callbacks.onSimulationStart()

...and then have "MainPanel" as a reference to use every frame. I haven't tested it, but should work.
Also, afaik DCS' lua interpreter is extremely lightweight and I can barely imagine it would make a huge difference.

I know that for some aircraft types the argument values (some? all?) are listed in a file called "mainpanel_init.lua" and I think they are specific to each type. So, if you know the argument value for the Spitfire, doesn't mean that the same value will work on the L-39. That means if you are using different A/C types, you will have to add code to the script that checks which type is in use and then use the appropriate argument values.

Another point to watch out for if you use values from "MainPanel" could be that the value you're getting is truely only the cockpit indiction, as opposed to the actual measured physical value. For example, if your RPM indicator (the instrument) is malfunctioning, you may get erroneous behavior on your rig!

Just be aware

Here's how it COULD work (untested!)

Code:

local MySelf = LoGetSelfData()

if MySelf.Name == "P-51D"  then
    --do stuff here

elseif MySelf.Name == "SpitfireLFMkIX" or MySelf.Name == "SpitfireLFMkIXCW" then
    --do other stuff here
end

Thanks, I guess in my case I only use the Spitfire so not applicable? The codes I selected that did not work were also related to the Spitfire, but I think they may be different types of values or something..

Hello

I suggest chopper pilots check this out.

I always felt that simulating G-forces and aircraft behaviour in general worked better through AOA output. Sadly, preferring AOA over pitch (or pitch rate) in choppers resulted in weird jerking and shaking when hovering or flying at minimal airspeeds.
Let me explain AOA behaviour in and around hover. When a helicopter moves forward and level - say- at 1 kts the angle of attack is zero. The moment the pilot adds collective, AOA dives below zero. Still keeping the craft level, descending makes the AOA jump anywhere between 0 and 89.999999.

The added lines in this export.lua gets rid of AOA output at 0 kts. All other (angular rates, heave, surge, etc.) output normal values. AOA comes into effect gradually above 10 kts and at 60 kts the effect is full. Change these values to fit your needs.

I hope this helps someone out of what I struggled with for a while. Thanks @value1 and @Dirty for an awesome plugin!

-- AOA AND PITCH FIX (For smooth chopper hover and natural pitch behaviour)
--Pitch/AoA speed sensitivity
local maxFXspd = 60.00
local midFXspd = 30.00
local minFXspd = 10.00
local AOAspeedCoeff = math.min ( IAS - minFXspd , midFXspd ) / midFXspd
if AOAspeedCoeff < 0
then AOA = 0
else
AOA = AOA * AOAspeedCoeff
end
local PitchCoeff = math.min ( IAS , maxFXspd ) / maxFXspd

if IAS > minFXspd
then Pitch = Pitch * PitchCoeff
end

--Reverse flight & extreme AOA angle cancellation
local AOApeak = 45
local AOAfade = 80

if AOA < -AOAfade then AOA = 0
elseif AOA < -AOApeak then AOA=AOA+(2*AOApeak)
elseif AOA < 0 then AOA = -AOA
elseif AOA < AOApeak then AOA = AOA
elseif AOA < AOAfade then AOA = 80 - AOA
else AOA = 0
end

You're right. If you're using the exported value "AOA" you get the AOA of the hull with the oncoming airstream. That is fine for an airplane, but doesn't make much sense for a helo. At low horizontal speeds this value could become huge.

I'm not sure if "rotor blade AOA" is available for export in DCS, or if it would even make sense to use. After all, rotor blade AOA changes (cycles) while the blade goes round the axis of rotation. That's why it's called "cyclic control"

If your approach of fading out this value below ~10Kts works for you, then that's OK. It would mean, however, that you would get absolutely no cueing in the vertical DOF during liftoff or touchdown, as these normally take place well below 10Kts. Are you willing to make that trade-off?

Instead of just fading out AOA, you could fade over between AOA and verticalG. A bit more code, but might be worth a try.

I have been wondering about this... I never get heave to function on a chopper. But on a jet takeoff roll I sure feel the bouncing and when making sudden pitch changes in flight. I must check the output values tomorrow when i pull on the collective, to see if Im getting anything.

Hm, I thought heave covers the vertical acceleration, regardless of airspeed? My version doesn't have the vertical G function.

Yes it does. But I understood that you were using AOA instead of verticalG. And that you were fading it out below 10Kts. In that case you should get nothing during liftoff/touchdown in a helo.

Your fade-out wouldn't affect takeoff in an aircraft though, because you would be way past 10Kts pretty much after 2 seconds during takeoff roll.

Does anybody have a complete working code example for all Game vibe options ?
RPM, Weapons, Landing gear, flaps etc...
Many Thanks to dirty for this great plugin.
