Incompatibility with WinWing Hardware

[CrashEd1664]

Hi,

I'm having issues when running the DSC-ExportScript alongside WinWing hardware, such as the Taurus throttle and the combat ready/takeoff panels. Here is an example of the Export.lua file:

_local wwtlfs=require('lfs')
dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua')

-- load the DCS ExportScript for DAC and Ikarus
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]])_ 

When both chunks of code are present in the lua file then the WinWing hardware fails to extract data from DCS.

Here is the WinWing wwtNetwork.lua file:

_w_net={}
package.path  = package.path..";.\\LuaSocket\\?.lua"
package.cpath = package.cpath..";.\\LuaSocket\\?.dll"
--全局变量
w_net.socket={}
w_net.net = {}
w_net.json=loadfile("Scripts\\JSON.lua")()
w_net.addr={{ip="127.0.0.1",port=16536},{ip="127.0.0.1",port=16537}}
--module开始
function w_net.start()
    w_net.socket=require("socket")
    w_net.net = w_net.socket.udp()
    w_net.net:setsockname("*", 0)
    w_net.net:setoption('broadcast', true)
    w_net.net:settimeout(.001)
end

--module发送
function w_net.send(msg)
    for i,_addr in pairs(w_net.addr) do
        w_net.socket.try(w_net.net:sendto(w_net.json:encode(msg),_addr.ip,_addr.port))
    end
end

--module接收
function w_net.get()
    local _msg=w_net.net:receive()
    local _table={}
    if type(_msg)=="string" and #_msg>0 then
        _table=w_net.json:decode(_msg)
        if type(_table)=="table" then
            return _table
        else
            return {}
        end
    else
        return {}
    end
end

--module结束
function w_net.stop()
    --关闭socket
    w_net.net:close()
end

return w_net_

And wwExport.lua file:

-- 新增外部库地址
g_lfs=require('lfs')
package.path  = package.path..";"..g_lfs.writedir().."Scripts\\wwt\\?.lua"
package.cpath = package.cpath..";"..g_lfs.writedir().."Scripts\\wwt\\?.dll"

Is there a possible port clash somewhere?

Any help would be massively appreciated!

[CrashEd1664]

Any news on this please? Happy to test anything as I have both sets of hardware...

[Andytr1]

I had to put winwing lines below DCS-Export in export.lua to make them both work.

[CrashEd1664]

I’m pretty sure I’ve already tried that but I’ll give it another go. Good to hear you have them both working together.

[Andytr1]

Simapp pro rewrites your export.lua everytime you start it, forcing ww lines to be at the top. You need to start simapp pro, then open export.lua and put the winwing line after dcs-export.
