Setup for network use

[MustangFr]

Hi all, i'm not able to get my python app sending command to DCS throught network (LAN).
My python code works on local (on my DCS pc) and I'm a able to use virtual cockpit from my computer running the python app (so i guess not a network or port issue). What i am missing? Do i need to configurate my python app differently if running from a network computer instead of local? Where can i put the ip address?

from dcs_bios_connector import DcsBiosConnector

class DcsBios():
def init(self):
self.bios = DcsBiosConnector()
self.bios.connect()

def send_command(self, command):
self.bios.send(command)
print('DCSBios sending command ..')

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it works when running python program on same PC as DCS, but having issues over LAN? I’ll have to revisit the repo and code to re-familiarize, but it should be setup to multicast so no need to configure a IP of DCS pc. Seems you’ve ruled out network issues by running another application and successfully taking to DCS machine. I’m away from computer but can take a look Friday/this weekend. If you want to poke around in the upd_connector.py class of this library and try to debug where it’s connecting to it may give some clues what is happening. I’ll be trying this first when I can get to the computer again soon

Ok so no setup to do.
Apreciate your help.
I will have a look too and try to deep dive a bit.
Since the virtual desktop is working from my remote pc, i think it is not a big issue.

Hi,

I have send succesfully commands by changing from multicast to unicast.

I don t know why the multicast doesn t but will try to troubleshoot this later.

Thanks for your job with this python module!
