Hello there,I'm using an Epic USB Card for my Simpit,and want to communicate with Lock On.Unfortunately I'm not a Programmer, but trying to learn it.Can anyone of you give me some Tips to send the Data (Warnings, Lights aso) of Lomac's .Lua script to Epic's Qprocs and/or Pigeon Holes?I'll be grateful for every kind of Help.Thank you in advance,My best regardsDaniel

Daniel,This is a little dated, but may provide a bit of Epic help: http://www.avsim.com/bluesideup/ Mikewww.mikesflightdeck.comwww.mikesflightdeckbooks.com

Thank you Mike,but Bluesideup is not exactly I'm searching for.I got this .Lua Script, I think everyone who uses Lomac nows it:
