Web Controller is not active

[mf01]

I want to try donkey car 4.1.0 with the simulator on Win10. DonkeyCar and the simulator are starting but not the web controller. Port 8887 is not open. I think this not a firewall issue because port 9091 is open and working. This is was I've done and the output.

python .\manage.py drive

I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve the problem ?

[mf01]

No, actual I have no solution or workaround.

[sctse999]

By default, when you are using a joystick, the web controller is not active.

[sctse999]

Having said that, I am working on an enhancement to make the web controller turned on even when the user is using the controller.

[mf01]

It is very unintuitive to uncomment USE_JOYSTICK_AS_DEFAULT and set to False. The tutorial I 've read points out that webcontroller is enabled on default.

[sctse999]

I agree with you! @mf01
