yaacars:yaacars-loadmanager.lua
====== Introduction ====== There's now a basic LoadManager LUA Script for FlyWithLua, that will be able to set fuel and payload when the flight is started. ====== Installation and setup ====== * Install [[https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/38445-flywithlua-ng-next-generation-edition-for-x-plane-11-win-lin-mac/|FlyWithLua]] * Download the script from [[http://www.ftw-sim.de/yaacars/download/|here]] * Extract the script to the FlyWithLua "scripts" folder * open yaacars_loadManager.lua for editing (using a programmer's text editor, like Notepad++) * Find "gYaacarsPath", copy the line and enter the path to yaacars on your system.\\The first definition are working for me and can be safely deleted or commented out (by adding a leading --). * You can add your own plane definitions by adding additional lines, like planeMatch['Piper PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftain'] = "PA31" ====== How it works ====== When the numbers for fuel are entered, the lua file is updated ... {{::lualm1.png?nolink|}} __For Version 1.0:__ Now, reload the lua script file, yaacars_loadManager.lua is relaoded and executed once ... {{::lualm2.png?nolink|}} __For Version 1.1:__ Apply the fuel and payload values, by executing the lua script from the menu: {{::lm_v1.1.png?nolink|}} You can also check the output of the script in X-Plane's log.txt <code - log.txt> YAACARS-LM: tracking: 0 YAACARS-LM: plane: Cessna Citation II YAACARS-LM: fuel: 1865 YAACARS-LM: payload: 1399 YAACARS-LM: tracking not running, looking up for the plane icao ... YAACARS-LM: plane match found ... loading now ... YAACARS-LM: Your plane is now loaded with 1865 kilograms of fuel and 1399 kilograms of cargo! Have a safe flight! YAACARS-LM: all done! Have an ice day! </code> After the script ran by reloading, YAACARS should show the correct values for fuel and payload. {{::lualm3.png?nolink|}} If not, your plane is proabably not compatible, e.g. uses it's own Load and Balance Manager, etc ... Feedback is always welcome!
