How on earth do I get the lights of winwing devices to work when I require other export scripts to run as well.

[Cowboy10uk]

So I’m trying yet again to get the lights on my winwing devices to sync up, APU light on Taurus, Gear light, ECM and stores at the moment, will also be shortly upgrading to the MIP and will require any additional lights on there to sync as well.

Now I know I need to repair export.lua to get the winwing line put in, and when I test it by itself it works fine.

 

However winwing isn’t the only program that requires lines added to the export.lua, and the moment I add any of my other lines, the lights on my winwing products stop working, I will enclose a screenshot of my other export.lua lines that I require which I took prior to repairing the file and adding winwing.

 

Has Anyone got any ideas, now obviously removing the export.lua lines that allow my FFB rhino or simshaker to work, isn’t really an option, but after buying a product that sells itself on syncing the lighting it would be nice to actually have the stuff working.    
 

I’ve also just purchased some MIP addon glare shields that have many more lights syncing to the cockpit, which no doubt will require additional export.lua lines added to work correctly

Im finding it a tad frustracting and the winwing stuff to be rather tempremantal at getting these lights synced to my sim.

Have you tried different order of the exports in the file?
And BTW. Windows comes with a free screenshot tool. No need to use a cellphone.

As MAXsenna said, your best best is playing with the order.  Not sure what you need for the stuff you've got in there, but with other typically used exports as an example you'd want:

TacView

SimAppPro

SRS

in that order for them all to work.

It is possible to get many of these working if you just juggle the order around.  The following is the contents of my Export.lua file.  Everything works fine, even Tacview (when I choose to uncomment / enable it).

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]])
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])
local wwtlfs=require('lfs')
dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua')
-- load the DCS ExportScript for Helios
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\HeliosExport16.lua]])
local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]])
pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Services\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil);
-- local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua')
local telemffblfs=require('lfs');dofile(telemffblfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TelemFFB.lua')

FYI - I do not see significant drop in performance with this even when playing multiplayer, but I have a pretty beefy PC (i7-13700KF, RTX4080, 3 1TB Samsung 980 Pro SSDs & 96GB of RAM).

Hope this helps.
