Export 1 0 1

From EagleWiki

DCS Black Shark provides the same way to export data as the LockOn series with the exception of data relating to old LockOn aircrafts.

• TODO: add description

It means that most functions from LockOn export are invalid now, sorry. Most of the common (no avionic or aircraft specific) functions are working.

• TODO: add descriprion

All avionics and aircraft specific functions will be available using GetDevice(device_id_number) method

!! NOTE !! do not store result of this function beetween simulation cycles

common methods available for all devices

• Sending command:

 local dev = GetDevice(id_of_device)      -- id_of_device unsigned number
 dev:SetCommand(command_id,command_value) -- send command to device
 dev:performClickableAction(command_id,command_value) -- send command to device

• TODO: add description of command

Contents 1 Export of arguments value 2 Export devices parameters 2.1 Radio devices 2.2 Weapon System 2.3 EKRAN

Export of arguments value

It means state of each switch or button in cockpit, state of all lamps etc. All argument data are stored inside a cockpit device named "MainPanel" you can acces MainPanel using GetDevice() with device ID = 0

• (for all future modules MainPanel will be associated with ID = 0)

 local MainPanel = GetDevice(0)

functionality:

• update all arguments state (not needed when camera is inside cockpit)

 MainPanel:update_arguments()

• get argument value

 local lamp_Hover_status = MainPanel:get_argument_value(175)

in this sample we are getting the status of hover lamp , which is mapped to argument number 175 You can find other arguments in

Scripts/Aircrafts/Ka-50/Cockpit/mainpanel_init.lua

and in

• Scripts/Aircrafts/Ka-50/clickabledata.lua

for switches and buttons (it's over 700 so I won't describe all of them here)

Export devices parameters

Radio devices

R800 (radio communicator), R828(radio communicator), ARK22 (ADF). devices id for these items:

R800    48
R828    49
ARK22   46

You can get radio device state table:

 local radioDevice = GetDevice(<radio device id>)
 local state = radioDevice:l_get_state()

State table contains next 9 fields:

 1. string name (device name)
 2. boolean isOn (device on/off status)
 3. boolean soundIsOn (sound on/off status)
 4. number volume in range 0.0..1.0
 5. number frequency (frequency in Hz)
 6. string modulation in range 'FM', 'AM'
 7. number pos_x (x world position in meters)
 8. number pos_y (y world position in meters)
 9. number pos_z (z world position in meters)

Weapon System

get weapon system using device id 12

 local weapon_system = GetDevice(12)

export functions are:

local string_name_of_weapon     = weapon_system:get_weapon_type_on_station(station_number)	    
local count_of_wepon_on_station = weapon_system:get_weapon_count_on_station(station_number)	    
local array_of_station_numbers  = weapon_system:get_selected_weapon_stations()	    
local selected_ammo             = weapon_system:get_selected_gun_ammo() -- "HE" or "AP"	            
local selected_ammo_count       = weapon_system:get_selected_gun_ammo_count()
-- and some example
local full_cont_of_weapon_on_selected_stations = 0
for i=1,#array_of_station_numbers do
    full_cont_of_weapon_on_selected_stations =
    full_cont_of_weapon_on_selected_stations + weapon_system:get_weapon_count_on_station(array_of_station_numbers[i]) 
end

EKRAN

device id 10

local EKRAN = GetDevice(10)
local current_text_frame = EKRAN:get_actual_text_frame() -- return UTF8 string with current text of EKRAN screen
