Re: Need Help with Sub-Folders

The folder requirement comes from the autopilot - I have converted it from Typescript to LUA - but there's no way to remove the structure.
You still haven't explained why that restriction can't be eased. You certainly can't say it's because of system security. So, please, let me do this!

Re: Need Help with Sub-Folders

Hello, Ralph: Regarding your last statement, it just isn't true. The software I would be adding is the Working Title Update 12 complete autopilot. It may not work, but with this situation, I will never know. I have converted the software from Typescript to LUA. It is organized on two folder layers a...

Re: Need Help with Sub-Folders

Does that mean that you have disabled LUA from referring to other folders or AM simply doesn't do it automatically. Because if you have prohibited LUA from doing it, it means that, unless you are willing to grant me an exception, I have just wasted about 6 months of work!!

Re: Need Help with Sub-Folders

Hello, again, Ralph: May I ask an impudent question, at least it may seem Impudent (first time I've ever used 'Impudent' twice in the same sentence nor thrice in the same paragraph!) to some! There's no possibility because LUA doesn't allow it or because Sim Innovations doesn't allow it? Kind of lik...

Re: Need Help with Sub-Folders

Hi, Ralph: That's just the lib_xxx.lua program that is normally called by logic.lua.I was trying to show a folder structure where there is a level below the lib folder. And a function in a file in a folder on this lower level that I need to call. After I wrote this question I think I found that I ne...

Need Help with Sub-Folders

Hello: I have a small problem which I hope has a solution. Here's an example: Logic.lua | ------- | lib_Prog | Folders | ------- | Sub-Folders | ------- | Files From logic.lua, I can call lib_Prog. But, from lib_Prog, what nomenclature do I use to call a function in the level marked "Files"...

Question About Airspeed Events

Hello:
I am perplexed by two Sim events: AP_SPD_VAR_INC and AP_SPD_VAR_DEC. I know they increment and decrement airspeed but by how much? Or, if it's not by a fixed amount, is it possible to specify the amount?

As always, thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Off-the-Wall Feature Request

Believe me, I know about that setting (and a couple more besides) but that doesn't give you control. I am not claiming that having a captive autopilot is necessary. It was a suggestion, nothing more. But I think it would raise the level of enjoyment of the game tremendously and I think the guys of S...

Re: Off-the-Wall Feature Request

Hi, Ralph: The main problem I have with the autopilot in the sim is that it only seems to work in aircraft that the sim wants you to use the autopilot with. Plus, with a captive autopilot and control panel, you get lots more control over what the aircraft is doing. I guess that's why, in airliners, ...
