Quote: ----------- How to install the app ? ----------



1) Install the app and download the Cockpit++.lua

from here : https://github.com/CockpitPP/Cockpit...ive/master.zip



2) Go in C:\Users\yourUser\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts folder (create if not exists)



3) Open the Export.lua file (create it if not exist) and add the line:

local Cockpitpp=require('lfs');dofile(Cockpitpp.writedir()..'Scripts/Cockpit++.lua')

if you don't know how to create the Export.lua file, you can take the one you downloaded with Cockpit++.lua



4) In the same folder, add the file Cockpit++.lua

You should have this:





5) Open the Cockpit++.lua and add the IP address of your Android phone (You will find the Android IP in the Cockpit++ application, in "settings", you must be connected by wifi on the same network than your computer)

Trick: the LUA files must be saved before you launch DCS

For example , if you Android IP is 192.168.0.12, you must write:



Of course you can use several Android devices in the same time, just add other Android IP if you want to use Cockpit++ with more than 1 device:







6) In the app, go to "Settings", add your computer's IP and the two ports which are in the Cockpit++.lua

To get you computer's IP, you have to do:

- Windows touch + "R"

- a window appear, type "cmd" and press "ok"

- a console window appears, type "ipconfig" and press enter

- you get your Ipv4 address (IP address)

- then, copy this IP in the "Settings" of the app, after that your Android will be able to send command to DCS when you will press a button on the app



7) Now start a mission, remove the pause, startup your plane and it should work

(the connection between the game and your phone will work only if you are on game without the "pause")



8 )Not working? check the previous steps and/or restart the app



9) Still not working? Then go in "Not working?" in the app, you will have some ideas of possible problems with the solution



Good flight sir! O7
