Using P3D as IG via DIS

Post by themfark »

Hello,

I want to use P3D as an external image generator with using DIS (Distributed Interactive Simulation) protocol. I could not find any step-by-step tutorial on how to use DIS in P3D. My expectation is that sending "Entity State PDU" messages over network to P3D, and observe if the entity moves. Can someone help me about it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello themfark,
While not a step by step guide, we recommend reviewing our Learning Center documentation for more details on Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS).

After I connect DIS, P3D says "Waiting for host ownship...".
Although I send "Entity State PDU"s to specified multicast IP and port, the aircraft does not move.
Do I have to send "Create Entity PDU" or "Start/Resume PDU" beforehand?
