A-10C data stops exporting after start

[charliefoxtwo]

The A10 will initially push data, and then it seems as if bios is crashing or something. Commenting out the old VHF and UHF code seems to fix this (however, these radios are used in the original A-10C so we probably can't just remove these lines).

[WarLord211]

I have no problems at all?!

with the old radios maybe something can be done like:

if a-10C then old radios
if a-10C2 the new radios

[charliefoxtwo]

I think we should figure out why you aren't having problems but other users are 🤔

It's happening for me in single and multithread openbeta.

[WarLord211]

Pls test with latest release https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios/releases/tag/v0.7.48

[WarLord211]

still an issue?

[charliefoxtwo]

Still having this issue. I can receive some string data, but not any integer data (update counter never moves).

Attached dcs.log and dcs-bios.log.

the bios log is almost entirely the following:

Util.lua: value -3.000000 is too small for address 4494 mask 15

Note that address 4494 mask 15 is VHFAM_FREQ1, which would have been affected by the arc-210 update.

DCS-BIOS.log
dcs.log

[WarLord211]

These Entries in DCS_BIOS.log are there since i started with bios. They are no gamebrakers.
I dont know how i should handle them, since arguments/valves can physicaly only have a valve between -1 and 1. more is not possible. (modelviewer as reference)

but what crashes your output is in the DCS.log

BIOS related:
ERROR Lua::Config (Main): Call error LuaExportAfterNextFrame:[string "C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\DCS-BIOS\lib\Util.lua"]:142: bad argument #2 to 'format' (string expected, got table)

also a crash, but i dont know the programm:
ERROR Lua::Config (Main): Call error LuaExportStop:[string "C:\Users\XXXXXXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export_BEH_Motion_Cls.lua"]:133: attempt to index global 'c' (a nil value)

to the bios related:
What do you do in the plane? i cant repeat your error.
i start the A-10C2 hot and runing and parking on runway. i have no issues or log enries in the dcs.log

maybe booth programms work together? may concider testing without Export_BEH_Motion_Cls.lua

[charliefoxtwo]

This occurred in one of the hot start missions on Sinai. It also happened earlier on a different in-flight hot start, also on Sinai.

I believe the BEH motion lua is for the Brunner device I have. I don't use it with dcs so I can certainly disable that lua and see if it makes a difference.

It's certainly possible for us to read a value outside of the expected range. When we build the luas for each plane we're just providing an address for each control. If we were to provide the wrong address, for example, then we could end up reading a different memory address than we expect and end up with some weird data.

A-10C_Test.zip
This is the Test Mission i use. (in your log your'e using syria)

no BIOS log entries in DCS.log
dcs.log

DCS_BIOS.log looks different than yours
DCS-BIOS.log

this is my export lua.
Export.txt

Update Counter runs

Master branch and my local dev branch atm the same.
DCS is latest open Beta i tested MT and single also standalone and steam
I can do what i want, i cant reproduce the problem :( Everything runs fine!

I have similar problem and it looks like it is somehow connected to SimShaker, with:

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]])
local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')

I got error in dcs.log:

and I can not see A-10C radio data.

Without SimShaker it is working. Looks like ptoblem is only related to A-10C since other planes are working correctlly.
I test it with SimShaker Beta 2.6.8 and both 0.7.49 and d1661d1

[charliefoxtwo]

This relates to SimShaker-for-Aviators/SimShaker-for-Aviators-Releases#10

[charliefoxtwo]

This should be fixed with the latest update. @emcek are you able to confirm?

[emcek]

Yes, both:

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]])
local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')

and

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]])
local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])

are working fine with: 8fa573f
