JMasterFlash Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Android For any users wondering about if this works for android: Where I'm at right now is that I can get perfect 1-way from the Android (Galaxy S5 Active) to the sim, but the display of the CDU just flickers in once in a while (with correct, updated info) then goes back to blank. Also, none of the switches update to the current position in the sim. My iPhone works fine running them side by side, so I don't think it's a failure of setup on my part. It's probably that the app needs some more work. Hope this helps. Let me know what you guys results are. Or if anyone has anything I could try.

groovy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 works perfect for me here both in 1.5 and 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durham Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Current issues I am getting mixed performance from this app. The CDU repeats and the switches/buttons move as I move them in the virtual cockpit. I can get the UFC up on the iPad with an upward swipe on the lcd, but the side swipes do not show the other functions (radios). All of the key-presses work fine, but the only buttons I have got to take on the iPad are CDU and EAC on/off. Cannot change STEERPT or PAGE from the iPad. I went into multiplayer as a client and got nothing from the app: from reading the above I think I will get single player behavior when I am host. I have correctly modified the export.lua file with the ip address of the iPad in cduAppHost = "ipAddress" and added both the dcs.exe and the associated updater file to my windows firewall inbound and outbound rules, as well as opening port 9089 on my router with the PC ipAddress. I am at a loss as to how to get the specified performance out of this app, which is a pity (but not the end of the world as it cost me nothing). Any additional suggestions would be gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durham Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Issues resolved I have now fixed the issues I reported in the last post: Multiplayer: there is a server option "Export Objects". If the host ticks this, the app works fine, if not, not. The reason this option is present is that clever people can use exported objects to create omniscient God views so preventing such exports eliminates that as a source of unfair competitive advantage. Nonetheless, if its a friendly game no problem. Radios: This was just me being an idiot. Swipe up on the LCD to bring up the UFC and once it is up left and right swipes on the LCD will bring up the three radio displays allowing user to manage frequencies and channel selection on the iPad. Next step is to get a touchscreen for the MFCDs so I can hit the OSB's with my finger rather than the mouse. What will Santa bring?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerme Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hi Gang, Does anyone have any idea why this works properly under 2.0 but not 1.5? The screen reflects the CDU but the buttons do not work. On 2.0 the screen and the buttons work. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spetz Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Anyone get this working with 1.5 yet? I have the CDU screen, everything shows on my Ipad if I use the in cockpit CDU (button presses, etc) , but I can't enter anything on the Ipad CDU. I've also forwarded the port in my router. Lastly, I can only swipe up and get the UFC.. Edited January 27, 2016 by Spetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzhnono Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Try without firewall on your DCS computer. If it works, you now where too look :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spetz Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Disabled the firewall completely and it worked so changed the private network profile to allow the port through. I still only have the main panel but the UFC and switches all work now. Its alot eqsier to work the computer now. Hopefully the maker fixes the issues with 1.5/2.0.

flyingscotsman Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thank you Entropy SG Hi Baltic, here is my export.lua Just a big thank you to ENTROPY SG for that LUA file. I tried all weekend to sort the file from the original site. Mine was a shambles of 'teaching text' about a mile long and no clear place 'at the end' to put the IP address and info Got your's down and there is was - as I had expected on the original - put my data in, BINGO it works THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntropySG Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 great! :) I could not even imagine flying the good old Hog without this app. Whoever made it deserves all credit. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamoe Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm having trouble making this work. I had it working right after I entered DCS.exe in the firewall exception list, everything was fine, but now it's not working anymore. Weird. It's not working at all, I can't send button presses to DCS, nor do I get display "cloning" in the app. :cry: iPad address + port are correctly set up in Export.lua script is in both the saved games and DCS scripts folders firewall has exception I don't get how this could work prior and now it doesn't. Any idea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntropySG Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 you should only modify the export.lua under saved games. If in doubt, backup yours and put in the one I linked somewhere in this thread, I just flew yesterday with the app it works for sure.

Eamoe Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Still no luck. This is mind boggling. Do I need to forward ports on my router? Sounds unnecessary, I always thought you needed that for things out from outta your home network. Anyway, I'm stumped. Anyone has an idea/suggestion? EDIT: whoop, major update, actually I realized it used to work with my older router. I switched to a new, more advanced one last week. So, it's clear that the issue is here. New question: is there a common setting in routers which could affect communication between DCS and the CDU app?

Eamoe Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Okay, if anyone meets a problem of this sort, here's the solution I've come up with. To make things work again after I installed my new router, I had to force change the IPs of all devices on the LAN by setting their IP to manual (not DHCP) for each of them (I had trouble with other interaces on the network -- MacBook and another PC laptop). Everything started magically working again. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyseaking Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Android CDU Guys, I know its an old Post and there are now other ways to Export the CDU to Android devices. Attached is a working CDU app for android like the one for the Ipad however cures the Blinking Screen Problem. Just follow the instructions in the readme file Just hope it may help someone !!

rottielover Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Anyone know how to make the export.lua work for both this app and simpleradio at the same time? EDIT: I was using steam version, I decided that I've had so many other issues with it that I'm swapping over from steam to "real"... Hopefully this will fix it. Basically what's been happening is that I can get simpleradio to work, but never able to get cdu working now (did before). Edit 2 - re-installed DCS from scratch, looking in the dcs.log file I'm getting errors that point back to export.lua I've tried the file on github directly and only added my device's IP with notepad++ and DCS is still complaining about it. Is there someone who can contact the author to have them look into the export.lua and see if maybe there's something in there that a recent version of 1.5 doesn't like?? I've also tried with Entropy's shared export.lua and this is the error I got: 00032.005 ALERT EDCORE: Can't execute Lua file C:\Users\Scott\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua - [string "C:\Users\Scott\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua"]:34: attempt to call field '?'

rottielover Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Found fix! Change this line: os.setlocale("ISO-8559-1", "numeric") to comment it out by putting two dashes in front like this: --os.setlocale("ISO-8559-1", "numeric") That seems to have solved the issue, though performance is not what it used to be. I used to be able to click a button and have near immediate results, now I'm getting a 1 to 3 second pause between. I can live with it for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be able to click a button and have near immediate results, now I'm getting a 1 to 3 second pause between. I can live with it for now rottie, I was having the same issue. I couldn't figure it out and had to reset my router since I stupidly forgot the password then spent forever trying to reconfigure the thing and I kept thinking I was doing it wrong because it still didn't work. I found this post and tried your fix to comment out line 34 of the export.lua file... still didn't work because I accidentally changed some other lines without noticing... once I started looking at the dcs.log file I was able to track down my added errors and then again try and fail the checked the dcs.log file again and I got the same error you have/had. Commented out line 34 again and ran and it works just fine. I however am not getting any lag issues. This issue popped up with the latest IOS update for me. Actually the part about lag is not true... I did end up getting pretty slow last night. About a 5-7 second delay... Edited November 30, 2016 by prionic1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prionic1 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? ^ Delays and the need to comment out that line just to get the game and the app to communicate? Would really like to get this working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
