DCS BIOS Communicator is a .net 8 library for interacting with DCS-BIOS. It parses the raw data bytes provided by DCS-BIOS and will trigger actions when it receives data.

Features

  • Parses data from DCS-BIOS
  • Handles pesky UTF-8 symbols
  • Might buy you an ice cream sandwich if you're lucky
  • Cross-platform

Usage

// create a new UDP client for talking to DCS-BIOS
var client = new BiosUdpClient(IPAddress.Parse("239.255.50.10"), 7778, 5010, logger);
client.OpenConnection();

// create your own translator class which implements IBiosTranslator
var biosListener = new BiosListener(client, translator, logger);

// register the json configuration files
var configLocation = "%userprofile%/Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Scripts/DCS-BIOS/doc/json/";
foreach (var config in await AircraftBiosConfiguration.AllConfigurations(configLocation))
{
    biosListener.RegisterConfiguration(config);
}

// start the listener
biosListener.Start();

Benchmarks

Benchmarks are strictly for parsing data received from the UDP server and do not include network time or UDP receive time.
