(My apologies i havent worked out how to use the quote feature yet). I found the same with YAME, its a nightmare to setup, but I have got the CPD and the ATD working perfectly with BMS just for testing. Have been flying around in BMS for the last couple of days with it on my workstation and its been working great (I had to use version 2.0.0.44, version 1.2.1 did not work at all). I have my LCD turning up soon for my CPD so will test it out properly then. As for DCS, still have had no luck with getting it to work with DCS/DCStoF4, however I will try what questerymj mentioned and get rid of all the other exports and just put in the DCStoF4 and see if that fixes it (thank you for suggesting that  ). I also have Tacview and DCS-BIOS so it might be an issue caused by one of them as suggested... Overall, pretty happy with the CPD/ATD in BMS. Thank you both for your help! I will update as to whether I got DCS working

I'm happy someone else wants to have a hybrid DCS/BMS CPD 
Thank you for the tips! I tried them but I couldnt get it to work on with me. DCStF4 seems to work correctly and prints out all the data it is interposing. However, YAME64/The CPD just sits blank with the text "Waiting for BMS" and doesnt work.
For your YAME setup, what version are you using? I have both the "New(?)" v1.2.1, and also a 2.0.0.44 version. With BMS the only version i could get to work at all was the 2.0.0.44 version, the v1.2.1 i couldnt even get to look for BMS/launch the CPD window (the direct data input option was greyed out, with the only option being "get data from server"). Its likely something I've messed up, i could not completely follow your steps as YAME64 auto-launches BMS or it wont open the CPD for some reason.
My startup sequence was;
1. Start DCStoF4
2. Start YAME64 and (auto)launch BMS + CPD through YAME client.
3. Minimise BMS and Start DCS, load into mission. At this point the DCStoF4 window would begin printing, but CPD would still be inactive.
Do you have your YAME set to pull data direct from BMS or set to a local server at 127.0.0.1? If the server, what port do you use?
Also, does DCStoF4 convert values both ways? I have a DED & arduinos programmed to DCS-BIOS, would i have to reporgramme to BMS and then use DCStoF4 to interpose the values? How do you do it with your panels?
Thank you for all your help, I greatly appreciate it
The biigest problem is to make DCStF4 connect with DCS, you need to correctly add the lines to export.lua in savegame folder.like this: -- DCStoF4 local xflight=require('lfs');dofile(xflight.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-XFLIGHT\Util-Dial.lua]]) If you mix this line with other plugin like helios or dcs-bios it's very possible to make one or more of them can't excute. I think the first thing to do is get a clean export.lua and only paste the line dcstof4 need and test if connect successful. If it connect to DCS and dump data to shared memories, YAME will find it and run. You can try keep YAME in standby mode, after DCS into flight then run YAME to check if it get the data. If display waiting BMS means the DCStoF4 didn't work correctly. This need a lot of try and error if you don't have other BMS hardware like DED to identify the shared memories works or not.

My experience is that YAME is a bi*** to setup and start. I did make it work at some point with both BMS and DCS and it was working thus fine in DCS through DCSto F4. But since then something got changed and I was never able to make it work again. Still looking for a way as well but today I am convinced that the hard part is to get YAME to work with BMS Once that is done, most of it (not the moving map) will work with DCS My startup sequence was;
1. Start DCStoF4
2. Start YAME64 and (auto)launch BMS + CPD through YAME client.
3. Minimise BMS and Start DCS, load into mission. At this point the DCStoF4 window would begin printing, but CPD would still be inactive.
As I said, if it doesn't work with BMS first, there's no point trying in DCS. Fix it in BMS first (something I wasn't able to) Also, does DCStoF4 convert values both ways? I have a DED & arduinos programmed to DCS-BIOS, would i have to reporgramme to BMS and then use DCStoF4 to interpose the values? How do you do it with your panels? I have Ghost DED and it works perfectly without any messing around, just start DCSto F4 and the DED is alive in DCS. No ideas about Arduino but if that works with BMS and DCStoF4 is running fine then it will work in DCS

Hello,
RWR does not currently work on DCS-BIOS or DCStoF4. DCS does not provide data for RWR or eHSI. They have gone to the single export of these 2 screens.
I'll have to test to see if DCS-BIOS is in conflict but in my last tests all worked.
Try placing the line for DCStoF4 before DCS-BIOS.
This week I won't have time.
Can anyone help?
I was just wondering if you were able to test the interaction between DCS BIOS Skunkworks and DCStoF4?

Thank you Foghorn

I'm doing same thing like you. I'd make a CPD for BMS and wish to use it on DCS, the only way is use DCStF4 and I'd make part successful. My way is 1.start BMS and let it stop in UI 2.start DCStoF4 3.start YAME64 4.Start DCS and make sure DCStoF4 is connect This way DCStoF4 will copy the data from DCS and convert them to shared memories, so YAME64 can display flight data of DCS. Welcome to ask more if these helps.
