iPad Data export

[Sierra99]

Gents,

 

I think I know the answer to this but...How is iPad data exported from DCS:World? I have a couple of different apps that work fine stand alone but nothing during multiplayer. Specifically DCS A-10C CDU involves loading the iPad IP address into a lua file.

If you mean the South Korean App with little information, this is how I got the App running:

 

Start the APP, then click the CDU (on the iPad) and you will see the IP of the iPad.

 

go to

 

https://github.com/infinitesun/dcs-export.lua/tree/master/helios

 

download/create your export.lua open the .lua file and change the IP into your IP Adress from the iPad App

 

"

cduAppHost = "192.168.0.31"

cduAppPort = 9089

 

"

 

Copy the export.lua to your C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts Folder (Backup the old one first)

 

I read a lot that some had problems with the firewall and they had to open the port 9089 on their router manually, but I have no clue how to do that.

 

Im happy it works for me

I know this thread is old, but I recently tried to set up this app on my iPad. I can get it to work fine in my standard, up to date DCS 1.5 install., but when I copy the export.lua over to my DCS 2.0 alpha install (user\xxx\saved games\etc. folder), the cdu will come up correctly at the start of the mission, but will then just freeze at startup on whatever waypoint is there. Buttons on the cdu or radio screens don't work at all.

 

Like I said, works fine with DCS 1.5 standard, but doesn't work with DCS 2.0 alpha or DCS Beta 1.5. Wondering how to get it working with the other two versions.

Actually, nevermind. I found that I just needed to add each dcs.exe to my firewall exceptions. All works as advertised now.
