[simpits-tech] FSUIPC and LUA

[Sean Galbraith]

I've discovered, over the past few weeks the joys of LUA scripts in
FSUIPC.

Not sure if anyone is using LUA for FS9/FSX/P3D projects, but it can do
some pretty cool stuff *really* easily.

For one small project I needed to click on a virtual button on the
screen, then return the mouse pointer to its previous location.  In LUA
this took 5 lines of code... I was thrilled J

 

The other really cool thing is that LUA gives access to internal gauge
variables (LVARS) which means interacting with custom gauges on panels.
I have a B737NG project at the moment which is using FS panels for the
glass cockpit, and with LUA I can write to LVARS which give me direct
access to things like EFIS controls for the custom gauges...

 

Just had to share... LUA is good!
