Thanks. I'm sure the ban will expire by itself. I have no time to fly recently.

My simple brain is having trouble understanding it all, but I'm slowly making a little progress. I may have a couple of more questions for you soon.

Great! Thank you, Ian. I'll take a look into that now.

Update: Using DCS-BIOS, I can get updates to my program. I just needed to alter BiosConfig.lua: I changed the following: -- BIOS.protocol_io.UDPSender:create({ port = 7777, host = "192.168.1.177" }), BIOS.protocol_io.UDPSender:create({ port = 7777}), Now I'm getting around 100 - 160 bytes out per updates. My next step is decoding the messages. The average message appears as "UUUU" and one other character (often a face, a star, the music character). EDIT The first four characters are UUUU. I guess I have to decode the remaining characters.

Happy to hear it, Skull! Enjoy.

Thank you for you kind reply. I'll make sure to update my thread with this information and the results.

Thank you, capt! Will check it out ASAP!

I'm wondering if I can use DCS BIOS to help me with this: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=163205 "I am looking to capture DCS UDP output via an .exe coded in c++. Specifically, I'm interested in capturing Mi-8 Doppler radar output. For now, all I want to do is display that output (in a human readable format). I have further plans for the data later." The export.lua from DCS BIOS outputs to port 7778 by default. Can I capture this using my own .exe? Sorry if this is too far off topic.

I posted this in the cockpit forum a few days ago: "Capturing DCS UDP Output (Mi-8 ) / export.lua" http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2722573#post2722573 - but nobody seems to have been able to help yet. Anyone here have any ideas about this?

I've had that before! I can't remember how I fixed it. Perhaps disable and enable mirrors in the options? If not, check for custom cockpit?

Would this be better in the mods / apps how to section?

I am looking to capture DCS UDP output via an .exe coded in c++. Specifically, I'm interested in capturing Mi-8 Doppler radar output. For now, all I want to do is display that output (in a human readable format). I have further plans for the data later. I was not so familiar with networking and sending data around on PCs, but I've figured out how to send and receive data between different executables over UDP thanks to a nice tutorial: http://gafferongames.com/networking-for-game-programmers/sending-and-receiving-packets/ My understanding is DCS is able to output data to UDP. To do this, I think I have to create an export.lua which controls what data is exported? It also sets up ports. I have to place this into my C:\Users\User\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts folder. If I wanted to export Mi-8 Doppler radar output, how complicated is it? Ideally, I would also grab a little other data while I'm at it. Aircraft position in the game world, altimeter, speed etc.. There are a lot of links floating around the forums that link to different parts of this, but it's kinda hard to figure out exactly which advice I should be following.

Amazing work. Further proof of DCS's create community.

Excellent! Always good to have more missions to fly.

? I think you need a bit of an introduction. Is this an A10 mission?

Long YouTube video - but I've highlighted the key points in the comments. [ame] [/ame] Feel free to laugh at my piloting skills :) Video highlights: AA pickup 1:32 AA deployment 9:33 Landing with no fuel 23:46

Banned :( Two players spawned on me in the same game. Both times I would marked as team killing them. After the second death, I rejoined in another slot inside a huey (I was in my mi-8 at the time) = banned. The other players weren't to blame, either. It seems the helicopters on red are spawning in the same slots :(

Looks great!

You might wanna post this in the multiplayer forum section.

Yes. Edit: Isn't this the Russian forum? да.

Luckily all the crew survived. If that was me in game, I would bank out of the turn in order to lose height. Is that the correct move?

[ame] [/ame] What happens here then? Mechanical failure?

Tried and agreed. Got a few hours in on the server yesterday. I did a delivery mission and destroyed a few targets. It was a lot of fun. Now all I need is some buddies to fly with. Thank you for the recommendation.

Is it possible the OP is more a critisism of the AI and SFM rather than the aircraft modeling itself? Perhaps the AI 51s should be using different tactics? I would still put this issue behind infantry AI.

I'm a little out or touch with the game as of late. If I wanted to jump into a multiplayer game with the hip, what server should I join? I'm running 1.5, so no 2.0 servers please. I'm looking for: A) Transport for troops, ammo, equipment etc. B) Resonable flight distances to targets or drop offs. C) Decent aa to protect me against evil FC3 players. D) Tasks that help with the mission. Not just side tasks that are unrelated. Any suggestions?
