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.
