SimShaker for Aviators


Feel the brrrrt!

If your question is not answered, please contact me.

Q: Which network ports uses SSA?

A: SSA uses Port 29375 (UDP) and 12842 (TCP) to communicate with DCS lua files. For MSFS/FSX is uses SimConnect and for XPlane 11/12 54930.

Q: SSA does not connect to DCS?

A: SSA uses UPD/TCP to send data to DCS, a firewall or VPN can block this communication, thus check if the traffic is blocked or routed through the VPN.

Q: Are DCS mods supported by SSA?

A: Currently, only official DCS models are supported by SSA.

Q: A specifiy model/plane/helicopter is not well supported, why?

A: Usually I need to buy these models to improve the support. Since this is a hobby project, my budget is very limited.

Q: Does SSA conflict with NRL HFS used for the HF8?

A: Yes. If you decided to use SimShaker for Aviators with DCS and not to use NLR HFS you can resolve this conflict by slightly editing Export.lua script in C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts subfolder *.

NLR HFS inserts its line in this file to engage the script:

    local HFSlfs=require('lfs');dofile(HFSlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/HFSExport.lua')

If you comment this line out by adding – in front of it as below:

    --local HFSlfs=require('lfs');dofile(HFSlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/HFSExport.lua')

the conflict will be resolved without NLR HFS deletion.
