DCS isnt working on the stream deck, module not being recognised

[Loopyllu1]

So i got the SD xl the other day first thing i did was watch a video on how to set it up for dcs, got the files the plugins and so on but when i go onto DCS  and load up a mission in the F18 all the buttons work but its not connecting to dcs comms and says this 

 

DCS module not detected.

Check that DCS mission is running, there is a .lua script for the module within "DCS-ExportScript\ExportsModules\", and the port settings above match those in "DCS-ExportScript\Config.lua"

the IP address is 127.0.0.1

lister port is 1725

send port is 26027

how can i fix this I've done what it says 

 

ive ran stream deck in admin

dcs is not running on admin 

 

ive tried every combo of them two and nothing works

 

this is my export.lua

really appreciate it if one of you could help thank you.

You went off some sort of deep end. Remove everything you've already done with DCS-ExportScripts and install fresh. You shouldn't need to touch those scripts as the defaults for the plugin already properly communicates DCS-ExportScripts properly. I'm a software engineer, but even I'm not willing to "code review" what might be messed up because it could be literally anywhere. So again, do a clean install of DCS-ExportScripts, and use the defaults of the StreamDeck plugin to talk to DCS.

Don't run either StreamDeck software or DCS as admin, that is not your problem.

[aLoneIceburg]

@Loopyllu1 I'm also having this issue. I've removed and reinstalled the software exactly as the video from @ctytler explains in his 2020 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPKnp6PJU7U&t=318s I am not using Ikarus so the port was changed to 1725 per the instructions.

I did try running in admin mode as well, but according to @EbonySeraphim that isn't needed.  I keep getting this DCS Comms error where it's not detecting DCS while the simulator and Stream Deck are running, however Stream Deck is detecting the modules I have installed with ID Lookup.

Anybody have any suggestions?
