Hello all,
Just a little something that I thought I would share with you all. if you're interested in seeing how hard your landings are (for *every* landing!)
here's a little Lua script for FSUIPC (I believe you need the payware version for it to work!)
I can't take full credit for it, as I found the basic version elsewhere. I just added a few lines here and there.
Basically, every time you land a little box will pop up at the side of the screen showing you how hard your touchdown is in Feet Per Minute. The box will then disappear after 15 seconds.
Simply copy this code into a text file and save it as "ipcReady.lua" in your FSX/P3D Modules folder. Start the sim and get practicing!
ipc.setowndisplay("FPM", 0, 60, 6, 1)
function logvs(off, val)
if val ~= 0 then
-- if on ground flag just set, get VS, convert it and log it
vs = ipc.readSD(0x030C) --original was 030C then 31A0
vs = vs * 60 * 3.28084 / 256
ipc.log("Vertical speed at touchdown = " .. math.floor( (vs * 10^2) + 0.5) / (10^2), 5)
ipc.display(math.floor( (vs * 10^2) + 0.5) / (10^2), 15)
end
end
-- set to call above routine whenever "on ground" flag changes
event.offset(0x0366, "UW", "logvs")
Hopefully some people can add some additions and we can improve it together!
