DCS-BIOS Win10 Data/Network Problem

Hi every one,

i have a Problem . I spend the whole weekend trying to fix this , no chance.

I use Saitek Flightpanels with the Programm DCSFligtpanels. Thread

On Page 64 Post #637 my journey begins.

In this grogram, you can Program the panels via DCS BIOS for the A-10C.

As example: On the MULTI Panel the auto throttle switch is programed to "AHCP_MASTER_ARM" for ON and OFF.

These Switches and buttons works well!

Also on the Panes there are som LCD panels which can show some data from the A-10

Alttitude, heading, radios .....

These LCDs doesnt work.

After all, i can send Data but not recive data. And i cant figure out why.

Im running a Win10 PC and DCS 2.5Beta from Steam.

Everything is in the right folder and everything has worked!

Have also tryed with firewall and Antivirus off.

Everything was also new installed

DCS log looks good, DCS-BIOS log is empty ????

last try with all worked was end January, i noticed the error end February

I hope someone can help me

Hi BlackLibary,

it looks like DCS BIOS is not running. And the Panel is working in key emulator mode.

Quote from DCSFP:

**LCD information can not be shown in key emulator mode (no data from game available)

Please take a look if the Installation of DCSBIOS is OK.

Quote from DCSBIOS Guide:

When opening a UDP socket to listen on 239.255.50.10:5010, you must specify the allowreuseaddr socket option. Otherwise Windows will prevent other programs from listening to the same data stream.

You can try the Control reference in the browser. If that works, then the DCS BIOS is running well.

the panel cant be in the emulator mode, because all buttons programmed with DCS-BIOS. but i check this.

i have try it with the browser once. Cant see anything and cant change any switch.

But i also dont understand what to do with it. :P

where can i set "allowreuseaddr" ? is this a windows setting?

i have DCS-Bios installed new twice. DCS-BIOS folder in scripts also export.lua. that is correct i think and worked well before i noticed the error.

The allowreuseaddr is already set in the connect-serial-port.cmd, so this should be not the problem.

For use of the Control-refernce:

Quote from "DCSFlightpanels program thread. Saitek Pro Flight Panels & DCS" first post.

Install Google Chrome

Chrome -> "Settings" -> "More Tools" -> "Extensions", check "Developer mode"

Click "Load unpacked extension..." and choose your "C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\DCS-BIOS\doc" folder

A new extension "DCS-BIOS Control Reference Live Preview"

will be visible under "Apps".

Exit "Settings"

Click "Apps". Your DCS-BIOS extension be there. From there you can see the controls change as you fly and manipulate the cockpit. Remember to refresh the page if you restart a mission so that Chrome gets a new connection to DCS-BIOS.

In the DCS log there must be a message that DCSBIOS is loaded.

So i checked.

I got data via browser (pic 1 and 2)

but no DCS-Bios in logfile (attached)

littlebit strange?

Looks good.

So DCS BIOS is working...

Maybe the connection between DCSBIOS and DCSFlightPanel has a Problem..

Here i'm out. Sorry I have no Fligt Panel.

ok big thank you for your help!!
