Hello folks, I just noticed in v 1.21 datarefs for the brakes have no effect - This used to work on previous version. I'm trying to use sim/cockpit2/controls/left_brake_ratio and sim/cockpit2/controls/right_brake_ratio and, as soon as I set them to '1', they move back to 0. However, if I use the command to brake, or a joystick axis,I see the plane braking and datarefs changing to 1. Is there another dataref to activate brakes? Thanks,

Hi, i have a 3 way switch. Up: Gear lever up Down: Gear lever down Middle: Gear lefer off Works, but as soon as I address the dataref ixeg/733/gear/gear_handle_act with write access with FlyWithLua (without setting any value) I get a constant sound of the lever. Is there a different solution? This line is enough to get a constant sound loop (of course the line itself is not placed in a loop...): dataref("GEAR", "ixeg/733/gear/gear_handle_act", "writable") Thanks for reading and suggestions!

Hej Guys, I have some troubles with radio frequencies modification from my cockpit driven using Arduino. If I use for example the command "sim/radios/actv_com1_coarse_up" then it works fine, but it modifies the active com1. I want to be able to modify the same side as where my encoder is situated, even if it's not the active side. If I use for example the dataref "ixeg/733/radios/radios_com1_right_mhz" and send a value between 0-19 then nothing happens. It seems to be the correct way to do this but, could this dataref be read only? The only solution I see right now, is to test which side is active and use either "sim/radios/actv_com1_coarse_up" or "sim/radios/stby_com1_coarse_up" in order to update the correct side. But I wonder if I am missing something here! Has anyone had this issue? Which Command/DataRef are you using for this? Thanks in advance for your feedback Cheers Syl20

Hi, Is it possible to read the custom IXEG datarefs via UDP? I was looking at the SET DATAREF STRUCTURE which can be used to set a dataref via UDP to any value... so this should work for sending data to x-plane. But it seems as though it's not so easy to read custom datarefs from x-plane via UDP. The data output screen only allows a set list of items to be sent out via UDP. It seems as though you will have to create an SDK plugin to be able to send custom dataref values via UDP. Is this the case, or is there another way? This would be quite nice for using Arduinos etc. to be able to interface to the IXEG plane as well as for Android and IOS devices.

I'm busy developing an Android app to control the CDU over the network and I can't find the dataref for the CLR key on either of the CDU's in the IXEG 737. DataRefTool is picking up all the other datarefs, but nothing for the CLR key. Thanks Edit: I got this all working by using the commands for the CLR key... I didn't realise that the ExtPlane plugin can also issue commands to X-Plane.

I want to create a dataref in Gizmo. In the Gizmo API two methods are explained. Because I want to use the dataref for an algorytm I used the second method: dr_TAS = dref.getDataref("sim/flightmodel/position/true_airspeed")dr_Sigma = dref.getDataref("sim/weather/sigma")dr_EAS_C = dref.newFloat("my/custom/dataref", "my_custom_dataref_eas")function OnUpdate() EAS = dref.getFloat(dr_EAS_C) -- This one works: EAS = my_custom_dataref_eas_OnRead() -- but this give no benefit in creating a dataref.endfunction my_custom_dataref_eas_OnRead() -- calculating the Equivalent airspeed -- needed because IAS in X-Plane is writable (and windsounds do not depend on vibrating gauges) -- see formula on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_airspeed local EAS = dref.getFloat(dr_TAS) * math.sqrt(dref.getFloat(dr_Sigma)) return EASendSee function OnUpdate(). What am I doing wrong here.
