    Hi Everyone!
    I found a conflict when I'm running my SRS Wind Fan app and IL-2 Sturmovik. It ends up IL-2 works on UDP and only 1 app can get the telemetry data (simtools would have to get the telemetry data), and I would need somehow set up UDP Port Forwarding for SRS Fans to work with it.

    Can anyone help explain how I can set it up for both apps to work? I know SimHub allows for this, but SRS Wind Fans are not open source software and I can't use SimHub with SimTools for the fans, unless I redo the arduino that controls the fans.

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I am using DCS world and I am able to run only one between SRS wind or my motion platform, never both together.
    Did anybody find a solution to this?
    @ Michael Jeffries may be?

    @Michael Jeffries

    I have good news
    I tested the DCS experimental plugin and it works differently from the standard plugin allowing SRS wind to properly work with DCS
    I have SRS wind working at the same time with my motion platform now.
    I hope this helps..

    That is interesting news. I havent tried IL-2 or any of the other UDP sharing ones with SRS yet, but hopefully theres a work around for the other games as well

    Unfortunately I only use DCS so I am not able to help on the others but DCS definitely works.
    If you haven't tried it yet, get the experimental plugin version 0.08
    It works differently from the others, in fact it places its export file still in the scripts DCS folder but in a subfolder called hooks
    So you end up having two exports
    one from the plugin and one for SRS wind
    And it works!!
    I couldn't believe it when I tried :cheers

    Forgot to mention..
    If you are unfamiliar with this plugin but still willing to try it, have a read to the plugin thread.
    You need to unpatch from the standard plugin and repatch dcs with the experimental plugin
    Then you patch also srs wind app
    As I said
    You end up having the experimental plugin export file in scripts/hooks
    And the srs wind export file in scripts

    Here's a quick EDIT...

    I was able to get IL-2 Sturmovik and the SRS fans working at least with a constant speed. All you have to do is change the UDP Port for IL-2 in the SRS App's config.ini file, to any other number, and then SimTools won't conflict with SRS.
