DCS BIOS UDP Communications

Some users have had problems with the default settings for communication from DCS-BIOS to DCSFP.

Default UDP socket opened by DCS-BIOS is: 239.255.50.10 using port 5010

If you are having problems, try changing the port and or IP address for the UDP socket. The setting for DCS-BIOS resides in ProtocolIO.lua.

function BIOS.protocol_io.DefaultMulticastSender:send(msg) socket.try(self.conn:sendto(msg, "239.255.50.10", 5010)) end

You can try 239.0.0.1 and leave the port unchanged. Doesn't it work try changing the port.

The range for the IP address is 239.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255 and port range is 0 - 65535.

Remember :

• DCS-BIOS and DCSFP must have the same IP address and port number
• You need to restart the mission in DCS.
