YesBRST will do this for you (and for all missiles, I think also aim9), or alternatively you can flip open the ACM cover. This will set them to brst as well and you can maddog on anything within a 5 radius around the missile's datum line, which is close to the cross in your hud. so basically point and shoot within 10nm.

We have this complaint even in the test team quite a lot, and so far it always turned out that it wasn't within the 5 needed for it to track. It is a very narrow angle for sure.



If I try myself, it works. Try with labels on, just to be sure. and ofc, you need to aim the +, not the flight path indicator.


As for were to aim, that depends. My experience is that the AIM-54 as modelled need more lead than other missiles due to being a bit slow of the rail and until it starts to guide. Using the aircraft wings as a reference might be good enough for many situations as in many cases that we'll make you lead the target slightly. But it depends greatly on the situation, you need to imagine where to point to have the missile actually see the target when it starts to guide.


I've hit a few maneuvering fighters with Phoenix active off the rail. To be honest, I did not think they would hit because they flew a straight line path and as mentioned before, they were slow. But then to my surprise, they turned hard to lead the target and boom. I fired 2 because I thought the first one was messed up, and they both hit!


The nickname "maddog" was given to him by his students at Hartford State Technical College, where he was the Department Head of Computer Science. He now prefers to be called by this name. According to Hall, his nickname "came from a time when I had less control over my temper".[2]


He has worked for Western Electric Corporation, Aetna Life and Casualty,[3] Bell Laboratories, Digital Equipment Corporation (Digital), VA Linux Systems, and Silicon Graphics (SGI). He was the CTO and ambassador of the now defunct computer appliance company Koolu.[4]


It was during his time with Digital that he initially became interested in Linux and was instrumental in obtaining equipment and resources for Linus Torvalds to accomplish his first port, to Digital's Alpha platform. It was also in this general timeframe that Hall, who lives in New Hampshire, started the Greater New Hampshire Linux Users' Group. Hall has UNIX as his New Hampshire vanity license plate.[5]


Hall serves or has served on the boards of several companies, and several non-profit organizations, including the USENIX Association. Hall has spoken about Linux and free software at the technology conference Campus Party many times since 2007.[6]


Hall has used his experience and name recognition to promote a variety of causes, generally involving open-source hardware or software in some fashion.In 2011 Hall gave talks and served on the planning committee for the leadership track of POSSCON in Columbia South Carolina.


Hall is the president and evangelist for Project Cau, which he describes as "a project to help create millions of sustainable, private sector, entrepreneurial jobs in dense urban areas in Latin America".[11] The project is based around an open hardware and software design for small, low power computers which will be the basis for small scale but widespread entrepreneurs using this platform to bring networking and entertainment to urban areas.


In 2013, Hall came on board as an advocate for the ARM 64-bit porting project being run by the Linaro group.[12][13] The objective is to port a collection of Linux open-source libraries to the 64-bit ARM architecture (ARMv8).[14]


First of all I want to introduce myself, I've been running my own MADDOG X cockpit simulator project in Spain for a few years, and I've always liked aviation, that's why I also make a living from aviation, and simulators are my hobby.


I have been talking on many occasions with more colleagues who are in this project like my friend "SISOFFI with his project in Italy" or with my friend "CLAUS who also has a mobile cockpit.


I have also been looking inside FSUIPC6.ini ........ the section [Auto] where it puts the name of the file with the code that you want to execute...... but it has not been successful either.


You control the [Auto] section, and the format of that line is not correct - if the file is called master_caut.lua, then the [Auto] section entry to start that lua would be:

3=Lua master_caut

Please see the Advanced User guide, section Automatic running of Macros and Lua plugins on page 41 if the Advanced User Guide. If you don't specify Lua, it us assumed you are trying to auto-start a macro file.


You could always take a look at LINDA, which comes with a support module (i.e. lua scripts) for the Maddog X - see -leonardo-maddogx-module-13/. Even if you don't use LINDA, it may be worth taking a look at the scripts they provide to see how things work for that aircraft.

But not that you cannot use the LINDA scripts without installing/using LINDA (due to dependencies). See -linda/ for more information on LINDA.


Thank you very much for writing me John Dowson, I am glad to know that I have a Spanish compatriot in the forum.

I wanted to apologize for taking so long to answer, I've been quite busy with work these weeks.


Mobiflight I understand that it is a way to link the simulator to the Arduino card, with this program you link because the electrical connection PIN you want the signal to outputs to light an LED for example as in my case or instead it also allows you to make inputs like a switch , for example.

I am going to continue researching and reading on this topic and test if I am successful.


There is no master_caut.lua file - you have called it master_caut.lua.txt (as the file you attached in your last comment).

So your issue is that you are using the wrong file type, most probably due to your Explorer settings - change those so that you can see the actual extension type.


Thanks for reporting back and glad you got it working. One thing - be careful of the offset(s) that you are using. 0x6748 is in the range 0x6700 - 6D5F which is documented as Reserved. 0x6700 - 67FF is reserved for Jean-Michael Biston's Airbus gauges. You should be ok if you don't use those, but it is generally better to choose an offset that is in an area that is documented as 'Free for general use'.


Gracias por informar y me alegro de que lo hayas hecho funcionar. Una cosa: tenga cuidado con las compensaciones que est utilizando. 0x6748 est en el rango 0x6700-6D5F que est documentado como Reservado . 0x6700 - 67FF est reservado para los calibres de Airbus de Jean-Michael Biston. Debera estar bien si no los usa, pero generalmente es mejor elegir un desplazamiento que est en un rea que est documentada como ' Gratis para uso general '.


Hi John.

I'm too new to this offset, could you explain a little better what you mean by ( Reserved. 0x6700 - 67FF is reserved for Jean-Michael Biston's) has some kind of restriction on use by copyright or something like that. Sorry for my ignorance.

And is there any other way to modify the free scroll?


Also at the moment I am trying to use a script crawler to find out what all the MADDOG X Lvars are and where their corresponding offsets are. I want to use LINDA TRACER but I have had an error that I don't know why.

I don't know if this information is published by the manufacturer of maddog x or I have to find out on my own, or if there is someone who has already found out.


I have found out the Lvar and the offsets that I have in the green box.

But the Lvar and the offset of the messages in amber letters surrounded by the red box I don't know what they are and how I can find them.

Take a look at the offset documentation - this tells you what each offset area is used for. If you want to use offsets for your own purpose, then you should choose an offset in an area that is designated as free for general use.


Lvar values are not held in offsets, but you can add them to an offset (one that is free for general use!) using lua if you so wish. Yo see what lvats are available, you can use the FSUIPC-added control List local panel variables. Just assign a button or keypress to that control and when you press the assigned button/key the available lvars will be listed in the FSUIPC6.log file.


They look to be messages generated from the state of simvars (or possible lvars). For example, Parking Brakes On will be displayed when the BRAKE PARKING POSITION simvar, held in offset 0x0BC8, has a value of 32767. If the value is 0, it would display Parking Brakes Off. I doubt that there is anything that actually holds the messages themselves.


The F14, F16, and many other jets feature multi-target tracking. The F15 (upcoming assumingly), F18 (upcoming assumingly) etc etc. Are all capable of tracking multiple targets at time. The F14 can track 24+ targets, and fire 6 AIM-54C missiles at once on 6 different targets. The F16 can DTT and fire independently on two targets at the same time.
