Troubleshooting

If you have problems with dcs-bios look below for some tips:

• Are you using latest BIOS?

---

export.lua

FIRST(!) test with the simplest export.lua, i.e. remove everything else but this line.

---

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])

---

There are some instances where there will be conflicts between BIOS and other custom software and to resolve these it is very important to have the correct order in which the various programs are called from the export.lua:

local dcsHl=require('lfs');dofile(dcsHl.writedir()..'Scripts\\Helios\\HeliosExport.lua')

local dcsRg=require('lfs');dofile(dcsRg.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-raygun.lua]])

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\Export_BEH_Motion_Cls.lua]])

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\SimShaker-export-core\ExportCore.lua]])

local SimShakerlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(SimShakerlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/SimShaker.lua')

local vaicomlfs=require('lfs');dofile(vaicomlfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\VAICOMPRO\VAICOMPRO.export.lua]])

local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua')

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\Helios\HeliosExport16.lua]])

pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Services\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil);

DCS-BIOS

• If you Use the BuddyFox A-10C UFC make sure in the export.lua the entry for raygun is above the BIOS entry (see above) and use the latest Version of Raygun.

• To check Bios is working: delete all files in the Json Folder

You found them in:

drive:\Users<username>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\DCS-BIOS\doc\json

After you start an flight and take control of the airplane, all files should rewrite and all files are back again

• Also test with the CTRL-Ref DCS-BIOS Control Reference Page.

• If the master branch not working correct, try to redo the Json Files. (See Point 2) Start an flight and take control of any Plane

• Hamachi can make Problems with BIOS. You can send commands but not receive Data. Disable the Hamachi interface in the windows network adapters and it should work.

• If CTRL-Ref Page works but you still don't get data to DCSFP you might need to change the IP for the DCS-BIOS UDP socket.

BuddyFox A-10C UFC

• If you using it, plug it direct into an USB Port on the PC and not in an USB-HUB. Else the Master Caution Light wont work.
