pet333r Posted April 17, 2020 Author Posted April 17, 2020 So I got the AOA indexer working and that's given me the confidence to purchase the UFC and maybe even the MFD Exporter although that looks a little more compilcated, I think I'll also need to pick up an Android tablet (plans for ipad ?) and attach my Cougar MFD's - great bit of software Pet, I'm looking forward to diving in a little deeper! Thanks man;-) MFD Exporter is free and always will be;-) I plan to combine them both, which will give DCS UFC great opportunities, for now I am at the stage of adding the MFD panel. I have not written the iOS application yet, but I do not hide that I would like to transfer DCS UFC also to this system (but when, I don't know)
pet333r Posted April 17, 2020 Author Posted April 17, 2020 Brilliant app. I'm using with the F18 for UFC export to a tablet. Almost got it working. App displays data from F18 UFC on the tablet, buttons move on tablet but App does not send button presses to DCS. On Win10. Added UDP and TDP incoming rules ports 5160 Turned off Windows Defender No luck Have the export call before DCS-SRS in Scripts\Export.lua Log, export and config attached ? Maybe try change ports, also check the router's firewall, maybe it is blocking something, also check if the device is on the same network / subnet as the PC SRS must be lower in the file Export.lua (and I see you do)

Any ideas?
fastfrog Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 SUCCESS! It was a dumb mistake on my part. IP address for PC in tablet was 192.168.1..85 (facepalm) LOVE THIS APP!!!!
pet333r Posted April 17, 2020 Author Posted April 17, 2020 the log entry is not important in this case, if you receive data from DCS but after clicking nothing happens, it should be caused by blocking incoming connections through a firewall in Windows or router or you have entered the wrong IP address of your PC in DCS UFC edit: I wrote equally with you, in that case no longer valid;-)
pocketedition Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 I have made some progress since my last post. I have connected my PC to a tablet. I used Spacedisk or something. I regret that looking at the read me file in the download, I get approximately one third of the way through and the words just melt off the page. I really don't understand the altering .LUA and stuff. Its not the program, please its just not of my age group to rewrite files and `update_pw-dev_script.bat` `ExportSelfData` to `false` ?? Is there anyone that can tell me which parts I can just delete from the read me to prevent confusion. I would be following automatic install. I did find a number that's from the PC, numbers and dots (111.222.333.etc) there is another which is from the tablet maybe?? I don't know. If it was "take the blue wire and shove it here, then put the green thing on top but DON'T stick a screwdriver in that hole" OK No need to be scared of me, I'm just a bit slow
pet333r Posted April 17, 2020 Author Posted April 17, 2020 ... - lua files are responsible for connecting and sending data from DCS and if something changes in them it means that something has been updated to make the program work as it should - update_pw-dev_script.bat : a simple windows script that downloads the latest files and updates (instead of doing it manually yourself) - ExportSelfData = false : I also wrote other programs that require it to be "true", if someone uses only DCS UFC can be "false" (less data to process = longer battery life) you must find the IP address of the computer and tablet yourself so that the devices can be "found" on the network
pocketedition Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Thank you. I cannot make myself understood. I will do without it. I regret taking up your time Edited April 18, 2020 by pocketedition

pocketedition Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) I will try again with these pics image 3....where can i find that page, not just the bit circled in red Edited April 18, 2020 by pocketedition
pet333r Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 I will try again with these pics image 3....where can i find that page, not just the bit circled in red but what is this Spacedesk for?
pocketedition Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Its an APP that connects the Tablet to the PC It enables me to use the Tablet as another monitor. Although there is a bit of a lag. Do I not have to use that?

pocketedition Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Would be helpful if you tell me how the images from your app get to the tablet. If I install your APP on the Tablet, Does the APP tell me the Tablet IP address? When I install your APP into DCS, does it just broadcast a signal through my wifi router which is then picked up by my Tablet.? If so, I don't need spacedesk do I? Edited April 19, 2020 by pocketedition its late at night in my time zone
pocketedition Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Thank you oh I do regret taking up your time like this. On the plus side I feel i am getting closer.:D

If so, I don't need spacedesk do I? here you have the instructions: https://github.com/pet333r/pw-dev_script You need install script in DCS, set proper IP address of your Android device and in DCS UFC set IP of your PC, that's all IP address you can check in Android settings > Wifi everything is in the instructions ---------------------- and there is not a word about it that Spacedesk is needed for this
pocketedition Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Many attempts over 12 days I have been unsuccessful. Nothing negative toward your app. It’s a grand idea, people are having fun with it. However the set up process is beyond my ability. I wish you well with it.
Frank00 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Hi Piotr, I've some trouble with the new version. F-16 ICP is working but DED does not appears. F-14 warning display is not working. I've downloaded and install the new script file to be sure. FA-18 is working well.
Frank00 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Ok Piotr help me trough facebook and the problem is coming from the IP adress of my tablet who have changed. Don't forget to update the script folder to have the last upgrade working. Big thanks Piotr for your help.

However the set up process is beyond my ability. I wish you well with it. Send me the "Script" folder from Your DCS version. From here: c:\Users\{Your username}\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\ or c:\Users\{Your username}\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\ depending on the version you have and IP addresses of the PC and Android device (of course, IP addresses from the local network)
