AV8B ODU Text displays not showing any value in DCS BIOS

[charliefoxtwo]

@jdahlblom I don't own the harrier - could you take a look at this one?

[jdahlblom]

Yup

[jdahlblom]

Yes it isn't showing the information. I managed to get the cockpit ODU to show information by pressing TACAN.
This is then picked up by dcs-insight:

-----------------------------------------
ODU_DISPLAY

-----------------------------------------
ODU_Option_1_Text
T/R
-----------------------------------------
ODU_Option_2_Text
RCV
-----------------------------------------
ODU_Option_3_Text
A/A
-----------------------------------------
ODU_Option_4_Text
X
-----------------------------------------
ODU_Option_5_Text
TONE

"-----------------------------------------\nODU_DISPLAY\n\n-----------------------------------------\nODU_Option_1_Text\nT/R\n-----------------------------------------\nODU_Option_2_Text\nRCV\n-----------------------------------------\nODU_Option_3_Text\nA/A\n-----------------------------------------\nODU_Option_4_Text\nX\n-----------------------------------------\nODU_Option_5_Text\nTONE\n" 

This is the line with the \n. I will debug function Module.parse_indication(indicator_id) locally.

I get this:

1: 
2: T/R
3: RCV
4: A/A
5: X
6: TONE
0: 6
ODU_Option_2_Text: RCV
ODU_Option_3_Text: A/A
ODU_Option_5_Text: TONE
ODU_DISPLAY: 
ODU_Option_1_Text: T/R
ODU_Option_4_Text: X

But the lua expects this:

ODU_Option_1_TEXT

That is apparently case sensitive. Changing it to ODU_Option_1_Text and it outputs the data.

[jdahlblom]

But what are those AV8BNA_ODU_5_SELECT controls? I can't see them in the list_indication.

[jdahlblom]

I got ODU_Option_2_Slc to show, seems to work as mentioned.

[SimoGiuby]

Hey Jdahlblom, thank you so much for lookimg into it!
Will there be an updated DCS-BIOS with the fix incorporated? Or how should I change my own LUA file (I wouldn't know where to start to be honest)? (Apologies for the total ignorance!)

The "Select" part of the code was working already, as you found out.

Thank you so much again and congratulations of the great job you guys do!

[jdahlblom]

It will be merged shortly.

[jdahlblom]

It is merged now so you can download master branch.

[jdahlblom]

If this solved your problem you can close this issue.

[SimoGiuby]

I am abroad at the moment, will check as soon as I have access to my laptop and close it. It might take a couple of days though...

Thank you very much again!

[SimoGiuby]

All working correctly, closing this issue now.

Thank you again for your help and your amazing work guys!

[jdahlblom]

Your welcome, thanks.
