Husam Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hello everyone, I am new to DCS and I downloaded the current version and still using SU-25T & TF-51D I followed the instructions in /Scripts/Export.lua where they say "do not modify on this file" and make your modifications on $HOME\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua. I did not fine the Scripts\Export.lua in $HOME\Saved Games\DCS directory I created one and copied Export.lua to it and uncommented the lines belongs to socket configuration and sending data but I can not find any UDP stream coming from the game at any port or IP address. I use C# and also used sniffer program to catch any action but could not. Is there any thing else I need to do or that does not work with SU-25T & TF-51D and I need to purchase other planes? Any hint regarding this would be very appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Well, I honestly don't understand why you need to capture udp data from the sim but if I were you, I'd have a close look at wireshark aka ethereal. If that can't capture it you must be doing something wrong :) Are you trying to use different ports to communicate ? Blocked by ISP or something else ( gov ) ?? In other, simple words, there is NO NEED for endusers like us to edit any config.lua or catch and analyse any DCS data to be able to connect MP, update/upgrade etc..

Husam Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thank you BitMaster, I just need Rolling and Pitching angles because I am planning to make a simple motion platform for my kids :) and for me also, so i wanted to make sure i can catch data before making it. Thank you for mentioning wireshark, I will give it another try and hope to help me if I could not reach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacker Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi, (This thread probably needs to go into the mod branch etc..) I messed about with the export stuff about a year ago and produced some test code. I have no idea if this stuff still works with the latest version of DCS (or if the folders paths are still correct). Anyway, this might get you started - the script just outputs various bits of telemetry (pitch/bank/yaw) to a file on your machine. You would have to tweak it to output to a socket etc.. Create an Export.lua in your Save\DCS\Scripts folder and add the following code local default_output_file = nil function LuaExportStart() default_output_file = io.open("./Temp/Export.log", "w") end function LuaExportBeforeNextFrame() end function LuaExportAfterNextFrame() end function LuaExportStop() if default_output_file then default_output_file:close() default_output_file = nil end end function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t) local tNext = t local HSI = LoGetControlPanel_HSI() local t = LoGetModelTime() local name = LoGetPilotName() local altBar = LoGetAltitudeAboveSeaLevel() local altRad = LoGetAltitudeAboveGroundLevel() local pitch, bank, yaw = LoGetADIPitchBankYaw() local engine = LoGetEngineInfo() if default_output_file then default_output_file:write(string.format("t = %.2f, name = %s, altBar = %.2f, altRad = %.2f, pitch = %.2f, bank = %.2f, yaw = %.2f, RPM left = %f fuel_internal = %f \r\n", t, name, altBar, altRad, 57.3*pitch, 57.3*bank, 57.3*yaw,engine.RPM.left,engine.fuel_internal)) end tNext = tNext + 1 return tNext end Create a 'Temp' directory in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World' folder (this is where the export.log file written) When I run this in single player I then get a file with the following telemetry data (current output rate is one row per second). t = 0.00, name = New callsign, altBar = 2000.09, altRad = 1465.27, pitch = 6.36, bank = -0.00, yaw = 380.10, RPM left = 81.801552 fuel_internal = 3775.000000 t = 1.00, name = New callsign, altBar = 1999.63, altRad = 1417.33, pitch = 6.07, bank = 0.01, yaw = 20.27, RPM left = 81.803558 fuel_internal = 3774.959717 t = 2.00, name = New callsign, altBar = 1998.34, altRad = 1397.08, pitch = 6.00, bank = 0.05, yaw = 20.27, RPM left = 81.808098 fuel_internal = 3774.797607 t = 3.00, name = New callsign, altBar = 1996.51, altRad = 1367.13, pitch = 5.72, bank = 0.07, yaw = 20.28, RPM left = 81.811615 fuel_internal = 3774.533203 t = 4.00, name = New callsign, altBar = 1994.15, altRad = 1336.53, pitch = 5.48, bank = 0.09, yaw = 20.29, RPM left = 81.815186 fuel_internal = 3774.189453 t = 5.00, name = New callsign, altBar = 1991.27, altRad = 1305.31, pitch = 5.29, bank = 0.11, yaw = 20.30, RPM left = 81.817825 fuel_internal = 3773.783691 t = 6.00, name = New callsign, altBar = 1987.95, altRad = 1289.69, pitch = 5.11, bank = 0.13, yaw = 20.31, RPM left = 81.819679 fuel_internal = 3773.329346 Again, I have no idea if this stuff still works in the latest build of the engine.
