External app to send commands to DCS

[crumstler]

Hello all,

 

I'm thinking about to make software interface between VRInsight hardware and DCS engine. I did this already for FSX and want to try to do the same for DCS. I know DCS engine has Lua scripting facility and I want to use it (as it was done with FSX/FSUIPC) and I need some hint where to start from.

 

Is there any developer documentation about Lua scripting inside DCS?

Is there any Lua-to-DCS code examples base?

 

And another task is code example or docs about how to send command from external app (let's say written in Delphi) to DCS via TCP-Socket or so on. I. e. I want to send command to retract gears in plane.

 

Any help or hint will be much appreciated! :helpsmilie:

Have you looked at Helios at all?

Maybe he can help. I have been using Helios for years. It's fantastic.

Thanks! Seems to be a great project... but it's not what I need right now.
