Hi Again guys,

Since setting EECH up again on my main PC and trying unsuccessfully to get UDPSpeed indicators to work with it I decided to check access to exported data with SIOC as that's how it's set up in my pit (I can't check in the pit as I had a hip replacement 2 weeks ago). Javelin had recently sent me an alternative CommSiocClient which outputs chaff qty, flares qty and up front display data and I'd like to try it out before installing it in the pit.

I installed SIOC on my laptop and set it up as the pit was. Default port is 8092.

I started EECH on the PC and then ALT+TAB back to desktop and started EECHCommSiocClient which said had started successfully. ALT+TAB back in to EECH.

On the laptop i started SIOC and checked that the IOCP server was running and had a client connected on port 8092 (the default one).
I then opened up the IOCPConsole which shows all the variables and their values - all default.

I then started a free flight in the game and let the autopilot fly around for a while. None of the variables changed at all.

Given the problems I've had trying to get the exported data in to UDPSPEED guages and now getting the data in to SIOC, is it possible that something in the dataexport section of EECH has been damaged during one of the recent updates ?

I was using version 1.15.2 in the pit previously and I knw that it all worked with that.

Could someone please throw some ideas at me 'cause I'm not sure where to go next.

Thanks in advance for any help.

HI Banita,

Thanks for that information. I did not know that. All I had asked for was the addition of flares, chaff and up front display to the export data.

So, where do I go from here ?

I have PM'd him and asked for his help but haven't heard anything back yet.

Cheers,

Andy

Hold on! break things is my hobby too.
Last time I've checked comms (about 3 years ago I think, when I tried to add these flare variables for Andy) it did work. As I remember, script reading global variables so it is possible that some of the gameplay changes create such side effect.
Anyway, only way to know truth - check sourcecode. A bit busy now, but hope to back to you this weekend.

Ok i edit my posts .for the obvious reason.

HI Thealx,

Any help would be very much appreciated. Even if you could explain the process and where in memory the data is exported to would help.

Cheers,

Andy

HI Guys,

I found a very old version of CommClient (version 5) and tried installing it. I used the UDPSpeed dash to test as it's quicker to set up.

Some data is getting read !!!

The following worked:
Ribbon Compass
IAS
VS
BAL
RAL
TRQ
GF
FUEL

All within the small left screen. Strangely, the time didn't work and none of the indicators worked either.
