Hi all!

Strange Forum Tool, or I am too stupid. :-)
Anyway...
First of all: My english is not so good, I am german.

The Question:
I want to use an external Tachometer with Live-Data from LS17.
I don´t know any direct way to do this, so I have the Idea to use a LUA Script an use the getLastSpeed to get the current Speed. But is there a Chance to take this Data to an external Programm, Script or File?
I use an Arcaze USB Device which have an Display Interface. On github there is a Tool to control the digits and I hope to connect this two Things:
LS17 -> LUA Script -> DAC -> Arcaze USB

Is there anyone who can help me with this project?

Regards
Alexander

The FS LUA engine doesn't offer real-time system I/O operations. And that's ok, else 'bad' modders could easily capture the system.
You can merely use XML file output, but that's far away from real-time and second the file traffic will slow down the performance significantly.
So better forget your idea. ;)

Hello together,

i disagree with Bilbo. If you write the xml file to an SSD drive or to a ramdisk it is possible to exchange small chunks of data in every frame. For my project i write the current position (x, y and z-value) as well as the current speed to an xml-file in every frame and i am still able to run FS15 with 60fps. If you want more info let me know, otherwise i will save my time and assume that you have dropped your project ;-)

Viele Grüße,
Pascal ;-)

Hey Pascal,
könntest du mir eine Anleitung schicken wie ich die Geschwindigkeit auslesen kann?
