Hi Romain,

 

Is it working if I add it in the aircrafts sections with an [AUTO.XXXX] instead of [AUTO] for all the aircrafts?

 

EB : Yes that should work.  In FSUIPC.INI, add it only to the [AUTO.xxxx] sections for the aircraft that you want to use it with (and leave it out of the "general" [AUTO] section).  If you have separate profile files for each aircraft (in your \MODULES\PROFILES folder), add it to the [AUTO] section in the profile file for each aircraft that you want to use it with.

 

And if I do that, do I need to add also the [LUAFiles] section in each aircraft section or can I leave it at the end of the INI?

 

EB : No you only need to list the plug-in once under [LUAFiles] in FSUIPC.INI.  If you have separate profile files for each aircraft, the same applies since these files do not have a [LUAFiles] section.

And another thing to think about : you may want to add the RestoreFriction LUA plug-in to the [AUTOxxxx] section in FSUIPC.INI (or to the [AUTO] section in the separate profile file) for any aircraft that you do NOT want the dynamic friction to apply to.  I am not entirely sure about this but I seem to remember reading a comment somewhere that if you have been working with a "dynamic friction aircraft", then load a "normal friction aircraft" without leaving FSX, the dynamic friction values will remain active which would not be what you want.  I stand to be corrected though.

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

Hi Emile,

 

Thanks for that swift answer. 

I will try the first option consisting of inserting the lua dynamic friction in each aircraft profile rather than the restore friction item.

Anyway, loading complex add-ons on top over of each other without restarting fsx is not advised.

Hi Romain,

 

If you always restart FSX before loading another complex add-on aircraft, you certainly won't need RestoreFriction.lua in this context.  But it is possible to safely load another complex add-on aircraft within the same FSX session, as long as you first load an FSX default aircraft (e.g. the ultralight) and then the next complex add-on.  I do that at times, but only when I'm testing, not if I want to actually fly.  So perhaps I should not have mentioned the RestoreFriction plug-in at all, sorry.

No, it's a good point to know even if I won't use it for now, who knows?

All knowledge is good to take.

Thanks.
