Damage display

[USCH]

Can we have a box to check so the damage display is always on or off... I would like to have it on all the time, but rarely do i remember to turn it on.

Checklist, checklist, checklist   

Is there a way to have a configuration file that runs on either entry to the game or going on the runway?  Something where you could put in perhaps dot commands to configure things the way you want them --- damage on, radios tuned, etc.

You do this now see .script

Scrpts work great, I have my Salvo's on scripts

How do scripts work?

[Lusche]

You create a file in your AHIII folder and name it anyway you want. Let's say it's called 'myscript'
Put the desired dot commands in there, for example

.salvo 6
.delay 0.5
.radio 5 145


then save it.


In AH, you just type  .script myscript
and it will run your script.

What is the script file format?

filename <no extension>

filename.???

I know this is obtuse, I want to clarify 'myscript' since Hitech uses .dod, .awa, .cfg, .hps, .pwl, .var, .out, .fla, .pln, .jsm, .slv and last .txt.

And how do you script things that are not dot commands - like the damage list?

yes please ty.

Looked through fehelp.txt and hosthelp.txt and didn't see a .damage command for your plane. Found the script format and the file needs no extension.

seems alot easier to just map it to your joystick or throttle
 thats what i did.
